I’d definitely take him if the price is right. Expand 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Prophet Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 More Tierney links this morning. As other have said, he's class but his injury record isn't great reading. I'm sure the club has done its due diligence though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
