Kieran Tierney

[paulchapo]

We don't want another crock, end of discussion. We've got Laporte and Stones who always seem to be injured and now Phillips. Steer clear of players who are constantly picking up injuries.

If you want to talk about over rated British players there’s plenty in the England team to look at!

Mate, you just called Kieran Tierney a world class defender.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Great player when fit.

Unfortunately he’s always injured, and therefore a huge risk to any Club - and at the price Arsenal will want, that risk simply isn’t worth taking.

Gomez and we’re done for this summer (unless Bernardo gets his move to Barca)

No more crocks we have more than our fair share.

I’m fully aware of what I said. If you disagree then that’s up to you but more would agree with me than you. He is world class.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Good player but appalling injury record over many seasons, ankle, shoulder, knees... His fitness cannot be relied on, it's no wonder Arsenal are looking to get rid.

Is he not also a bit of a diver, likes his theatrics

If they are looking to get rid, does that mean Zinch stays at LB?

Arteta has already said they see him as a LB

Thank did not hear about that, I thought a reason for leaving was he wanted to play MF.

Poor Zinny - I hoped this was his opportunity to actually play in his favoured position at Club level.

Back to LB it is, I guess!

dont think he has one, he's been a utility player everywhere at club so far. Only the NT keeps him in CM regular.

Whilst I think he is a very good player , the use of the phrase " world class " is used far too often in general to emhasise the quality of an individual.

I think Tierney is a very good player who has had a number of injury issues which have probably hampered his progress, but not " world class " imo .

That’s a fair assessment from you. The reason I say world class is - I have seen him take on players at top clubs from a young age with absolute ease. He reads the game better than anyone in that Scotland side (I know I know) and when he plays for Scotland you can see how much he improves us both defensively and attacking. He plays out of position at CB to accommodate a mediocre Robertson (a guy who got the captains armband while Tierney was injured and after Tierney had been wearing it for a few matches). He overlaps and attacks from CB, if you haven’t seen it then it’s really quite something.

Anyway I agree the term “world class” is thrown around far too much. As far as Tierney goes though, he would definitely improve your starting 11 when fit, and with the players you already have that’s saying something!

Good luck for the season ahead lads.

P.s… Man Utd hahaha

Pretty much exactly where I stand. Really wanted him when he was at Celtic and early on at Arsenal but his injuries are really unfortunate. There's a chance he could have ended up at that level otherwise.

Im delighted we've signed Gomez, I would of preferred Zin to stay but fully respect his decision to wan to go play week in week out and think him and Jesus are just another level for Arsenal.

If we were to sign another left back, I know pep has said we won't this year, I wouldn't be opposed to Tierney at all. City would be a great fit for him and obviously would want him to play x amount of games but wouldn't have the pressure of playing weekly with his injury record.

 

[KevinMuscat]

One of the rare two-way fullbacks, I could see him doing great things in this side.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

If we can perfectly align the 20 games he's fit, with the 20 games we need him for.. Im in

Looool :-)

 

[Dribble]

If the price & wages are right, why not? Not having to rely on him every game could be just what his body & our squad rotation needs.

Having such a small squad gives everyone ample game time, but when injuries, suspensions & fatigue kick in as it did at the end of last season, it's then you realise the sense a couple of extra top class bodies make... )(
