Tierney

[The 90+2]

This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Tierney is nowhere near Robertson. I think he'll be in the championship next season.

Arsenal aren’t going to get relegated.

[BILLYHIBS]

I actually prefer Tierney out of the two

He was a fantastic footballer for one so young did the simple things well and was difficult to get past a young man with a fantastic future

He really bulked up before his move and was like a wee pocket battleship

He has been unlucky with injuries but I have no doubt he will be back fitter and better

What happens with Scotland as they both play left back ?

Will one have to move over to right back?

Liverpool paid a British transfer record of £440,000 in 1977 for Kenny Dalglish, which is £2,685,000 today. So you could have bought Law and Dalglish for £5 million combined at today's prices! The money in football (transfers, wages, ticket prices) has increased at multiple times the rate of inflation.

The TV money has multiplied probably more than transfers

Tierney last played for Scotland at right back. I’d be very surprised if he got in at left back ahead of Robertson. Then again, Robertson has been crap for Scotland compared to his Liverpool performances.

Robertson is excellent in Liverpool’s system but I have always felt Tierney is the better of the two he just needs to get over this latest injury setback kick on and show the EPL what a good player he is

Robertson was the best player in the league when at Dundee Utd. He was then a standout for Hull in the EPL. Respect your opinion though Billy but for me Tierney has quite a journey ahead to get to Robertson’s level.

[Zazu62]

25 million for Tierney and we got 3 for McGinn 😂😂😂😂

Time will tell Robertson is well ahead of him at this point in time

Tierney got it all to do

Dunno about being the best player in the league he only played 36 times for the Arabs but he did win PFA young player of the year award

Agree a very good player

We've struggled to get 1 left back at times recently. Will happily take the problem of having 2.

Back in the day we had three world class right backs Brownlie up until he broke his leg Jardine and McGrain as far as I know Jardine and McGrain never played in the same Scotland team

That was why I asked the question

The Glaswegian Roberto Carlos plays left back at the PBS too. No problem

Billy, that is simply not true. For instance, at the 1974 World Cup Jardine was right back and McGrain left back in all three games. They often played in the same side.

Exactly. McGrain played a lot at left back with Jardine on the right.

Outstanding player, unlucky with injuries, he'll be back, no doubt about it.

In Arsenal reserves

Guys I get that Danny McGrain and Sandy Jardine played in the same Scotland team one playing out of position that was my recollection too but answer me one thing who is the Glaswegian Roberto Carlos that plays at the PBS?

He was there man of the match yesterday by a mile apparently. Still think they’ll ruin him though.

Tierney has it all to prove as to whether he will succeed in the EPL, hope he does.

Injured yet again and seems like he’ll be out for about 3 months or so. Without going back and counting again, he was heading for about 70 missed games so far in his career when he came back from his last injury. Can throw in another 15 at least now so we’ll be looking at 85 or so games missed before he’s 23. Not a kick in the arse off two full seasons worth of football. Also not managed an international appearance in 14 months and is unlikely to be fit for the playoff games in March so we'll probably be looking at close to 2 years out of international football.

Shame for the guy, but he’s quite clearly going to have a career that is constantly disrupted by injuries.

Seeing Tierney playing tonight and unable to complete 90 minutes reminded me of this thread. Managed 13 (today may possibly be his 14th) appearances this season out of 44 possible games. Spent 317 days out injured in the last year and a half.

Since the start of this thread when I suggested he was a bit of a crock he's had yet another different long term injury which kept him out for 3 months.

I reckon he'll be back at Celtic within the next few years.

Apparently just cramp tonight. Not really surprising he isn't fully fit. Arsenal are having a bad time with injuries as well.

He is still very young, time on his side.

Yeah, think the commentators had suggested he was injured but looked like he was being treated for cramp.

When I have seen him playing for Arsenal I think he’s been fairly disappointing - stifled from getting forward to an extent.

[ancient hibee]

Last time he was ER he wasn’t running freely.He should insist on getting properly sorted otherwise his career will be full of injuries.

His last 2 injuries have been a shoulder injury from a bad fall and cramp. I don't think its anything to do with ''getting properly sorted''

English sides don't sign guys for millions and pay them millions to patch them up and risk their careers.

He’s had 3 major hip injuries though. Not sure if it’s always the same injury but if it is and it keeps reoccurring then hopefully it’s sorted or else he’ll be finished at a very young age.

In England £25m is just a decent sized fee now - clubs like Sheffield United have been spending that. If his injuries don’t start to improve then Arsenal will probably have to go out and replace him.

Hypothetical though because those injuries haven't occured in over a year now, right?

Na, £25 million is still a significant fee and Arsenal wouldn't be risking it by patching him up. Doctors also have obligations not to do things like that. There is a difference between painkillers for a few weeks and risking his career.
