    Tierney

    Does £25 million make him the most expensive Scottish player? I think he will prove a bargain for Arsenal; terrific young player. Who are the other expensive Scottish players?

    Oliver Burke was the record before KT, £15m I think. SJM will cost more than him and Tierney combined (hopefully)

    Denis Law joined Torino for £110,000 in 1961, which in 2018 prices (Bank of England calculator) is £2,405,275.59. Denis Law for under £2.5 million, how's that for a bargain!

    Just shows you how utterly mental the transfer market has gone.

    Oli McBurnie broke the record just last week for £20M.

    When we sold Broony for £4 million, it seemed like a fortune. Celtc got a bargain.

    Not as much a bargain as Villa got SJM for, saying that, glad of reported sell on clause and even more glad he's not warming bench for deluded celtic.

    Do you actually think that ? Did the 22 goals in the English Championship last season just happen by luck?

    I believe so. Then again, how much did Robertson cost Liverpool?

    Gordon went for £9M from Hearts to Sunderland. Hutton went from Rangers to Spurs for the same fee as well, I believe?

    Fine player & going to a great club, worth every £.

    I think hes highly over rated and will be out on loan in a couple of seasons, Celtic have played a blinder for the fee though.

    They have. And if they don’t win the league by a mile the next two years there’s something seriously wrong. And if they qualify for the champions league the money they get will widen the already huge gap even further.

    Well done to young Tierney though, really hope he does well

    Maybe so but what helped them enormously was the serious under-selling of SJM and his now £50m valuation, thus allowing Celtic to hold out for a record fee.
    The SJM effect will prob continue and benefit the selling price of other Scottish based players eg McKenna.

    I’ve said this before but think he’s over rated too.

    Old Firm hype like the made up Morelos bids.

    I’m interested to see how he will get on down south but I’ve watched him quite a few times and his right foot is awful. Yes I know Messi is all left but Messi is a genius.

    Teams in England and abroad will target him.

    I’m hoping Celtic don’t spend silly money on McKenna giving Aberdeen funds to play with.

    I wouldn't say he is over rated but agree Celtic have done well with the fee.

    He had to go south to continue to develop and I wish him well

    If he can stay fit then he will definitely have the resources, coaching and experience to develop into a top player. The atmosphere around Arsenal is the best it’s been in a while just now following this window therefore the fans will probably be patient with him too.

    25M is virtually nothing in that market, and looks a bargain.

    Same amount Tottenham paid for player two years younger but had a year in EPL. He should have gone two years ago but was loyal to Celtic. Good player wish him well.

    Will be interesting to see who goes on to have a better career between Sessegnon and Tierney. Tierney no doubt already has a lot more trophies to his name but will be interesting to see where both players are at in 5 years.

    Has Sessegnon not been more of a winger so far?

    Think he’s played in both positions over the last couple of years, I would imagine Spurs have brought him in as a long term replacement for Danny Rose

    I think Tierney is a great wee player.

    When we beat Celtic 2-0 last season we had so much success down their left hand side and exploited Izzaguire ruthlessly. In the Scottish Cup game when the score was reversed Tierney played and we got nothing like the same freedom to play. He also nullified any attacking threat we had from right full back because he's such a good out ball and so willing to get forward.

    He probably needs a change of scenery and to step up a level to kick on again, you could argue his development has stalled a bit at Celtic. Going back a couple of years there probably wasn't a lot to choose between Tierney and Robertson but Robertson playing against top level opposition every week at Hull and Liverpool has pushed him on to another level. If Tierney can stay fit there's no reason why he can't do the same, he has all the natural ability to make it in England imo.

    Hope he does well however he has struggled recently with injury so wouldn't say it was a certainty he will hit the ground running.
