    This would have faded by now if he wasn’t going.

    The fact Lennon mentioned he has a contingency plan in place says it all really and KT hasn’t done anything to squash it.

    It’s a matter of Arsenal stumping up the money. They’ve started selling players to finance the move.

    Disappointed overall but hopefully this will kick us into action and a chunk of the money will be reinvested

    The more I think about it the more the whole thing annoys me. I mean, I do get the motivation behind leaving and playing at a higher level. It is a short career. I just don't like the idea of a Celtic fan leaving when the 10 is so close. Legendary status.

    It probably says more about modern football than Tierney specifically, but annoying nonetheless.

    Fed up of reading about it now, wish it will hurry up and conclude one way or the other.

    It’s came up constantly and only a few times has he actually addressed it, last summer there was chaos when apparently Everton had a bid accepted and he was on his way down there. Folk need to calm down and get drawn into the media frenzy.

    I know, hoping they’ll reinvest is my completely optimistic side.

    Can't get my head round this. 2 more seasons = 10iar legend then leave the club at 24. I know money talks but he has a once in a lifetime opportunity to become a legend at his boyhood club THEN leave to make his millions. :39:

    It doesn’t matter that there’s only one club chasing him.. unless you’re desperate to sell. But there are still 2 clubs involved and if the one who ‘has’ him isn’t desperate to sell then the price is the price !

    I really hope this falls through. We aren’t desperate for the cash and we will sell KT for top dollar in two seasons time if we held on. Hertha Berlin just paid Watford 20m for Lukebakio who played all of 15 minutes the whole of last season. Also Arsenal had no reservations in paying Lille 75m for 24 year old Pepe. So they have been in this all along because they obviously want to sign KT and are negotiating which is fair enough. They obviously rate him or they would have dismissed the news long ago. The part that baffles me is, who is it that sets the barometer on which players you have to pay big money for and which players you can get on the very cheap? We now over the last 5/6 seasons have done enough to show how good our talent is to buy. We should put the foot down here and tell Arsenal and anybody else who wants to listen, “the league might not be the best but we are not a championship club, now get to *.”

    I completely understand why someone would want to eventually leave Celtic due to the money and the chance to play in a better league. But I dont understand how Tierney could act all mr.celtic then jump away right before we win 10 in a row, if it were someone like mcgregor or forrest that would make sense.

    Arsenal are still falling short in their offers for Kieran Tierney says Celtic manager Neil Lennon, as the transfer window enters its final week.

    The Gunners have made no secret of their desire to sign the Scottish full-back, but have so far failed to strike a deal with Celtic.

    As reported by Sportsmail, Arsenal were closing in on the deal after working on a restructured package for the £25million signing, but Lennon says there is still work to be done.

    Obviously the window in England shuts on Thursday. It can be an unsettling period for any player,' Lennon told Sky Sports.

    'We have rejected two bids and the clubs know the valuation that we value Kieran [Tierney] at and it's not been met.

    'He is dealing with it very well. We are living in an age now where it's coming at you from all angles, especially on social media.

    'He is only 22. We have to be mindful of that as well. He is trying to keep his feet on the ground and stay focused on the present,' Lennon added.

    The overall deal looked to have collapsed last week as Arsenal refused to increase their initial down payment and fell £5m short of Celtic's demands.

    After improving their terms, the Gunners grew in confidence that a deal could be completed.

    From Celtic's viewpoint however, an acceptable proposition is yet to arrive at their table.

    Tierney has told Celtic he wants the chance to play in the Premier League and the Scottish champions are willing to grant his wish if their set fee is met.
