    Finally a mention of their stretched funds. All we've been listening so far is how the transfer is sure to happen.

    Obviously dont rate Tierney as first team material if they dont want to pay that much. I'd say * them.

    Per year they make like £30mil in season tickets, £60mil from Adidas, £150mil from Premier League TV rights, £40mil Fly Emirates shirt sponsor, £30mil stadium sponsorship deal, plus Europa League money, matchday tickets, and other sponsor deals. I know their wages are massive, but there's no way they don't have a huge budget.

    They have an owner who's their version of Lawwell. I suppose the massive wages are a problem in his eyes.

    True. But even if they triple Tierney's wages, he's still nowhere near a top earner for them.

    1/20 on to sign for them according to Sky bet

    “It looks as if Tierney's megaphone days at Celtic Park are numbered to say the least - bookies certainly expect this transfer to go through."

    They slashed some wages by selling fringe players, but from seeing how many Arsenal fans hope Özil leaves, he is the main issue. I'm not sure how much are they even willing to pay Tierney, in light of the big money their main players earn.

    The result of the U.K.’s Brexit referendum defied gambling firms, which placed a 90 percent chance on the nation remaining in the European Union as the campaign drew to a close. ......................so I wouldnt pay too much attention to bookies

    Can I ask what specifically you disagree with? Or do you just think I used far too many words to say a couple of simple things?

    The latter might well be true. I have a tendency to do that.

    Should tally up the amount of times the Sun has reported its a done deal and multiply it by 25m, use that as the final asking price.

    They're completely running out of time, we should hike the price up and see how much they really want him. Unless he publicly hands in a transfer quest to try and force a move, we'll remain in the driving seat.
