Hopefully they do and hopefully we avoid him 

Hopefully they conclude there is no long term risk and hopefully they sign him. [emoji38]

Agree with this. I know he has had injury issues these past couple seasons. But if we sign him for anything less than £30m and he manages to move past those issues then it will be one of the best pieces of business we will have done since the takeover. He is a complete modern full back.

I’d be upset if we spent £30m on Tierney. I rate him highly, but the lack of game time and injury history surely means we don’t go near him for that much…. I want us to move away from the overpaying Chris Wood type signing which I’d liken this transfer

That’s a bit harsh on Tierney.

Whats similar between Tierney & Wood?

You do have to wonder why Arsenal sought to replace him then. Is it just that they had the opportunity to buy an equally good LB in Zinchenko and took it figuring he might be a bit more durable?

Nothing at all. One is a fantastic (potentially elite) full back who has had some issues with injury. The other is a bottom half of the table target man who doesn't really get injured. £25m was probably an over-payment for Wood. £30m would be about right/potentially be an underpayment for Tierney.

Probably a combination of needing someone more reliable in terms of injury, someone who can play inverted and has title winning experience

Different profile of player entirely and Tierney isn't that good. I hopewe do not sign him.

It would make sense if they felt Zinchenko was maybe an upgrade on Tierney, otherwise you would think they would sign a promising understudy if they had confidence Tierney would be fit for enough games.

More of a fill in leftback zinchenko. He is a midfielder originally I think.

I’d just prefer that we don’t overpay for a player that another team wants to get rid of. Let’s wait it out and get him for a decent fee 

Burnley most definitely did not want rid of Chris Wood
