Lots of reports about Tierney being sold to Newcastle for 30 million this summer
Now in of itself I don’t really care, Tierney hasn’t played well when he has played (looks asthmatic)
But the implication is that a player who has been head and shoulders our worst player this season (well in fairness it’s actually Lokonga but he’s not had much game time) is going to be a bulwark of our defence going forward.
I’m old fashioned, I believe a left back should a) be able to defend b) actually show some understanding of what a left back does.
If you want someone who has a free role put him in the no8 role
Not in a position where he has been more single handedly responsible for goals than any other player
