It really does boggle my mind at how little people understand about how transfers work. The remaining value of the players contract always plays a big part in figuring out the players worth. At the moment for tierney I would guesstimate that it's 5 mill. From that point of view 15 isn't so bad but I can understand why they said no. If he goes it will be for between 20 and 25 most likely unless someone REALLY wants him.

I would agree with that TC. I said when he got the job that I suspected he would last 18 months. Not even a cup final last season and nothing special on the park, ultimately the next few months are massive for Gerrard. If they get papped out of Europe and don't make the league Cup final he will be under huge pressure, that could only be mitigated by being top of the league. Not impossible by any stretch, the tims have a big rebuild to do (expecially in defence) but have a much bigger budget to do so and Lennon knows what he is doing. Being binned by Xmas is very possible in other words if you ask me.

Mother fucker, that was quick.

Lewis or shinnie

I would still be delighted if he stayed. Don't get me wrong I can understand the concerns mentioned but I just think he's a really good player and we would be a better side with him in it.

I know some on here are ambivalent on gms but I really hope he stays. I don't blame the guy for assessing his options 2bh, at 28 this is his last chance at a decent move.

I think the kid is just assessing his options, he'll have seen how Mcginn got on last season. Basically celtic think they have a god given right to all Scottish talented youth but its being seen through now.

Have a great time Hebrew. Re standard comments, football is football. If I cared about standard I wouldn't watch, let alone love, Scottish football.....

I bet the cunt still scores against us

Probably just wants to go back to living in England, wouldn't have been pissed off if he signed but hardly gutted he's not. Honest, hardworking, pro, good luck to him

At the moment the signing I am waiting for most is the autograph gms gives next. Would love it if we kept him. Still annoyed we didn't try and get Scott Allan.

Agreed TC, it always boggles my mind how little football fans understand how transfers actually work. Only time a player will go for less than the value of the remainder of the contract is if the club is wanting them off the books.

Some ping!

Clarke will likely have clocked that Devlin and mckenna looked excellent together at the start of the season and has called him up more to see how he fits in with the squad etc. Clarke himself said is was a big squad that he expects to thin by a few closer to the time. Regardless though I think it's very encouraging to see the national manager picking players on form regardless of their club Jersey and long may it continue. I know a lot of you out there ain't so keen on following Scotland, and that's fair enough support whoever you want, but I support Scotland as much as I do the dons and I'm really excited by Clarke getting the job. Truth be told I've never been so happy about a Scotland appointment before. Fingers crossed there could be some good times ahead, we really need Griffiths back though.

As I said on sm, don't see why given how many don't even follow Scotland.

Devlin gets a call up to Clarkes first squad. Didn't see that coming

Refs have loved utd these playoffs. 1 red and two pens that were never fouls.

Kyle maggenis worth a look perhaps.

Taylor says to me McKenna is defo off and maine suggests to me that cossy might be off too.

Nah, moyes is in the managers that football has left behind bracket imo

you could argue that Cosgrove hasn't had the best supply. we have really missed christie and maclean this season, no-one in the middle is able to take the ball with opposition nearby and still move it forward which has led to our build up play being pretty sluggish due to having to rely on always going wide. I would defo keep him.

I think people forget that Mcinnes, whatever you think of him, has genuine love for our club. Can't see him going anywhere for a while yet.

Aye, what TC said.

If it was scottish cup final taylor i could live with him coming back but it wont be so its a no from me. Jamie ness is a pretty solid centre mid as I recall though don't know what he has done recently.
