If Timber is out for any length of time then selling Tierney is suicide. It’s a bonkers decision to sell him anyway.


He is bonkers if he stays - Tierney should be knocking down legoheads door to get out, and should not care who is injured and who isnt

Yep, same goes for ESR. Get out before his career is wrecked.

Arsenal insist on permanent deal for Kieran Tierney, Real Sociedad keep offering a loan deal. 🔴⚪️ #AFC

Negotiations will continue next week in order to reach an agreement. It remains open race to other clubs interested too.

Emery or Howe will come in for him imo
Fuck it’s fairly grim if real sociedad are the only club in for him and even then they only want a loan.

He had a 20 minute disaster class in the charity shield last weekend, was poor for the goal, then the next time he got the ball he passed it straight to a city player and the time after that passed it straight out of play.

At the risk of upsetting the Tierney ultras on here, he’s pretty limited. Oodles of passion and commitment, but injury prone, not the greatest defender and very bish bash bosh going forward.

If we got any half decent offer for him I’d cash in, would be reluctant to sell if Timber is fucked though.

Very hard for anyone to be consistent when they don’t get a run of games and when Mikel Arteta wants to put his full backs in the centre circle.

There's a reason teams targetted our left corner with Zinchenko there last season. Even today, our "right back" was nowhere to be seen when Elanga charged down the left to assist.

Tierney is an old school overlapping full back and there's not a bit wrong with that.

It's strange because Arteta wants the team to be unpredictable, able to change how we play....... Well playing Tierney does that, gives us a different option rather than a full back going missing every few minutes! There are so many good wide players in the PL now we are going to concede more goals this year in my opinion.

Was it you at the train station a few years back telling Joel Campbell to get out while you can ?

Imagine if we actually had a striker. Simply don't get how the management has such a blind spot. Oh for a podolski up front in this team. (Wenger wasted his talent so much still pees me off)

What's huntelaar up to we haven't been linked ro him for a good few years!

See the Chavs are still Pimping their way in a search for buying trophies... Caicedo for £115Million - The only good(ish) thing about that is they stopped the Victims getting him. :? - Two uberScum clubs.

What I don't understand is we tried to sign him in January and got knocked back, so why didn't we go back for him, I mean what would have happened to the Rice deal had the offer for Caicedo been successful?

It's a tad baffling!

Cheating FFP by selling their old duds to the Saudi league, who Chavski's owners are involved with.

Utter BS but will UEFA or the PL do anything?, will they fvck.

Glad we're competing, for now, but long term I don't know how the likes of us or the dippers can compete with this new form of financial doping.

Hope he bombs there and those 8yr deals really drain them but they'll just cheat their way around it I'm sure.

Vile club who deserve to be shut down for good.

Arsenal’s option to buy on David Raya will turn into an obligation to purchase should certain conditions be met.

An official announcement is expected to be made in the next 24 hours by the club regarding his transfer after he completed his medical successfully over the weekend.

Blimey, forgot that video, but I’d forgotten about Joel Campbell as well. What happened to him, did he go back to Central/South America?
