Kieran Tierney has been linked to a move away from Celtic and these supporters think the club might be better cashing in on Tierney and signing Nice full-back Romain Perraud.
Arsenal has been heavily linked to bringing the 22-year-old from Celtic to North London and the Scottish club looks to be putting in a contingency plan if they are to lose their fan-favourite academy graduate. Neil Lennon has already brought in left-sided Boli Mbombo from Rapid Vienna and is hoping to bring in Perraud soon and it looks to be a decision that most Celtic fans can get behind even if it does signal the end of Tierney’s Parkhead career.

Perraud spent last season on loan at Ligue 2 side Paris FC where he contributed an impressive six goals in 32 league games from the left-hand side of the defence. It’s not clear if he were to sign who would be Celtic’s first-choice left-back between Mbombo and himself but it would be a nice problem for Lennon to have two full-backs of similar quality given Celtic’s recent back-ups to Tierney haven’t been anywhere near the standard of the three-time PFA Young Player of the Year winner.
While these Celtic fans are happy that the club is making moves early in the transfer market they know it means an end to the Parkhead career of Tierney.
This bear panics and its been warranted after years of short comings by the board. Lennons no the man for the job but at least we’re throwing money at making it easier for him. Benkovic loan deal and 2x RBs pls. Ideally a CM, Striker and GK too but im greedy.

Need to start changing our outlook on transfer windows. Sometimes losing big players isn’t that bad if the replacements and extra bodies we bring in are good (on paper just now anyway). Squad being trimmed, players of perceived quality being brought in

I’d go as far as saying this has been our best transfer window in years, when was the last time we released a ton of duds and signed quality players all before the first week in julys over

I’m happy we are finally forward thinking. If we get a bid for KT that meets our valuation then we will already have the cover if we sign this guy. Total opposite happened with Boyata and Dembele.

We’ve lost Boyata, Benkovic, Lustig, Tierney (probably), Burke, Weah, Izaguirre, Gamboa, Allen, Mulumbu, Toljan, De Vries and Comperr. Replaced with Jullien, Shved, Mbombo, Connell and possibly Perraud. Lots of fat trimmed, but tonnes still to do.

Aye. If we lose Calmac/Rogic/Ntcham though, that picture changes slightly. Plus, wouldn’t mind another CB given Jozo’s injury record and Jack Hendry’s general Jack Hendryness…
