I think what he was saying was that we would have to be creative about financing - either with a loan with option to buy, or spreading the payments.

I can’t see them loaning him to us at all unless we have an obligation to buy at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're looking at a loan move too, their record signing is 20m Euros so can't see them paying more or less double that for Tierney. If he doesn't want to leave the PL I think Arsenal might do business to get him off the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we done one of those since the new owners took charge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Arteta sending a message by not having Tierney on the bench imo. He’s 3rd choice CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Might be wrong but think it may be a LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Seems like it'll surely be a CB? Seems to be what most of the journos are saying. After that I could see us adding a LB or RW... but only if a deal we really like comes available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 From what Howe implied after the game this last transfer may well drag on until the last few days of the window, maybe there’s a reason for that? You’d imagine it’ll be extra defence cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn is covering and he is a LCB. We are covered in the other positions. We can certainly improve on Lascelles but that would leave us with 3 RCBs. Whoever comes in, if anyone does, I've got total confidence in whatever they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Surely has to be a LB? I love Burn, but he just doesnt have the speed or offensive threat to play there at the top level. Targett hasnt proved himself either imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Have a feeling at this late stage Howe will favour signing a PL ready CB like Andersen, however Tapsoba, Todibo and Silva would be the ideal long term signing at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'll be very surprised if it's not a RCB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Tbf I think either a RCB or a LB would improve us significantly, so I’d be happy with either. Caulkin seems adamant it’s a LB but Mope reckons it’s a RCB. I reckon we’ll probably have the feelers out on a few players in each position and come the back end of next week we’ll assess our options. There’s no real urgency this week because any new signing would be unlikely to play v Man City anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I would rather a centre back as cover for Schar, I think tripps and livramento, when up to speed, can cover both flanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Get a CB in now and then in January try for a LB unless another position becomes more of a priority depending on how the season goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If Celtic finally pay us something for Fraser, we could easily go out and get a left back and/or centre back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
