Conn now guys the Scottish stereotypes are getting a bit tired. There's more than a few Scouse ones people could bring up !

This is one deal I am very genuinely excited by, if it happens. Would be a big statement to get one of the top several up and coming left backs in the world by most accounts. This isnt an attempt to slightly upgrade a position, its an attempt to put a top player there for years to come.

Alternatively having the best left back the clubs had in 30 years he can further learn from most offset the saving in wages by getting rid of baines.

Other option is baines leaves as Tierney's contract escalates upwards next season

I can see both sides re Baines. I think the lad remains a very good defender now. However if the view is, could we get better for less then it's not a bad time to move Baines on. I think a lot will depend on where they view Robinson and/or Connolly.

I am happy with the concept, too. Go big at positions of need. Fine with that. Not sure this kid is going to be an elite player, though. He should at least be good and better than Baines, however.

I think as long as Coleman is in his prime, LB will be a vital upgrade. We should be a fullback driven side as long as he is still performing.

There's certainly no doubt if Tierney was playing at under 21 international level, he'd be the best left back in the world

According to an itk, who seems to be well respected, on a Celtic message board it's at the finalising stage...

Seems to be picking up momentum this. Would be a fine start to business.

You can’t guarantee how someone will do, but it would tick a lot of boxes - young, reasonable fee even if it’s £25m, positionally flexible and much potential.

The upsides are clear - we could be getting a player here for a decade or one that would turn a huge profit. That’s exactly the model I’d like us to follow.
