    I know this was asked to someone else, but just to jump in: for me, personally, I want both Taylor and Bernabei gone, and two good LBs brought in, ideally with game time for one of Anderson or Frame as well.

    So in that framework, yes, I’d definitely take KT, as long as we signed another quality LB, with little-to-no injury history, to compete. At times when KT may be out with injury and the other LB is facing, for talking sake, 5 matches over a 2 week period, then we give one of the young guys a go for a domestic game or two.

    But if it’s KT to come in alone and Taylor to deputise? No way.

    For the right price and wage. You know what you're getting, he's missing 75 days a season on average, and outside of that he's a solid player. You can't rely on him to be fit for every game, that's pretty clear, but I'd take him on the cheap still. As the fella above says, however, you need a solid backup/rotation option. Whether Taylor fits the bill is open for debate.

    We could get him basically for free after this injury on low wages. Not saying that we should but that is the sad reality after his latent injury

    Each to their own but seems absolutely mental to me that folk are still open to this, he'd be a ticking time bomb, watching every challenge he went into or every turn he made and then it would be just a matter of how many months he was out for again. If we want to try and upgrade on Taylor fair enough, even though I like Taylor, but it has to be someone who's dependable.

    Brilliant player with the heart of a lion but his injury problems would be a major concern as I suspect he would miss many games.

    I hope to * that if Tierney was plan A that we’ve got a plan B in place. Surely the professional thing to do?

    If his current injury is as bad as being discussed, he should see his contract out at Arsenal and rehab as much as possible. Then look for a less physical league and extend his career as long as possible.

    He obviously loves playing football so focusing on doing that as long as possible would be my guess at what he should do next.

    A return to Celtic is a non starter with his injuries, time to move on.

    It's sad to see such a good player having such injury issues and I hate to say it but I have to wonder if his career will even get cut short because of them. As for Tierney coming back to Celtic IMHO that ship has long since sailed. Not even worth a discussion IMHO. He made his decision to move on when he did and now for us given his physical limitations never mind money there is no argument I can see where we sign him.

    If Arsenal can’t find a buyer for him due to his injuries I could actually see Brendan pushing for him on loan. A few of his wages off the books for Arsenal and then also leaving it up to us to rehabilitate any injuries that occur on loan.

    after the injury this euros and the injury on loan at sociedad I can’t see many clubs willing to pay the £15 mil+ Arsenal will want

    I can see this happening late in the window too, and while I’d love KT back, I really don’t want us to be waiting that long for a LB

    I can see this happening too. I genuinely don't think Arsenal will get anything more than 5 million for him, and that is being generous. No one will pay money for him after the euros.

    We'd be lucky if we even had a plan A at LB.

    Don’t want him back even on loan.
    Too injury prone and need a fit player for Europe and matches against the huns.

    Regardless of who I think for sure given his injury record at this point Arsenal will have a hard time selling Tierney unless its for a knock down price.

    Mibbes a bit of blind faith and optimism on the injury front on my part but I still want him back.
