    Looks like he will be back.
    Pity.
    He’s too injury prone to pay the kind of wages he’s on at Arsenal.

    First game for arsenal in 19 months and he's off injured YET AGAIN, if we bring him home it has to be on paid to actually play contract

    Although he’s had his well documented injuries. since leaving us he’s played 146 competitive matches in 5 seasons. 29.5 games a season averagely…

    5 seasons with us too so the perfect comparison… 167 games so 33.4 games averagely.

    as long as we also recruit adequate cover we would be making the biggest mistake ever not taking him back.

    also along with top division experience, is now an experienced centre back with Scotland at the highest level. Which personally is where I’d play him next to CCV. He would be the ball playing centre half we sorely miss when scales or trusty step out from the back

    If he comes then we need to ensure we have able back up.

    If Taylor goes then I'd still try and sign Valle but I'd imagine he'd want assurances

    Fit and firing Tierney is a world.class fullback. Sadly that's very rare nowadays...hence why I struggle to get as excited about this as I should.

    I’m all for taking him back, and on a free…no-brainer!

    It would be ideal if we can sign Valle as a backup too, but I realise that’s unlikely.
    I wonder if we offered a contract extension, 6-12 months, with a guarantee of 20+ games a season, would Barca/Valle take it?!

    There’s no way Tierney is playing 50+ games a season, 25-30 tops, so there would be plenty of playing time for a developing player.
