    Tierney got his debut at 17. Nothing to say he can't get 20 mins once or twice soon.

    Would be worldwide news if we even gave him a 5 minute cameo.

    * it. Bring him on against Valencia.

    His physical development should now accelerate at a rate of knots tbh. He’ll be playing development games next season.

    Lucky for wee Messi it was Barcelona that signed him and not us .... * would have faded into the abyss after stagnating in our development squad till he was in his 20's.

    Then again, Messi was over 5 foot tall.

    The curious case of Karamoko Dembele.

    How tall is he out of interest?

    How tall was that little Nigerian guy, that was at Celtic for a season or so? I can't even remember his name but remember Hooper nicked a debut goal from him.

    That's the one.

    I'd chuck Dembele in at the first opportunity to get the hype started. Get PSG, City, etc circling early.

    Think there’s already enough hype about him tbh.

    He’ll be given a game when he’s ready. I think the club are trying to manage him very carefully.

    Messi had/has a condition known as Growth Hormone Disorder, and his growth hormone injections simply brought him back in line with ‘normal’ development. When Messi was diagnosed he was barely over 4ft tall. I seriously doubt Dembele would require similar treatment.

    What’s ‘normal’? Based on average for a man? An Argentinian? A little guy? A white guy?

    His treatment brought him to the exact height of the average Argentinian man.

    Wayne Rooney at 16 was a fully grown man.

    Dembele isn’t comparable.
