Kieran Tierney’s Celtic to Arsenal fee bamboozles Piers Morgan as Gunners diehard claims transfer robbery
Tierney #Tierney
Piers Morgan admits he’s bamboozled by Arsenal “only” paying Celtic £25million for Kieran Tierney.
The Gunners diehard is a huge fan of the left-back and he produced another stellar all-action display in Saturday night’s FA Cup tie against Newcastle United.
Mikel Arteta’s side were forced into extra-time with Tierney the standout in an otherwise frustrating performance.
The 23-year-old’s move from Parkhead looks a relative steal in the bloated Premier League market and TV personality Morgan reckons his side have got away with one.
He wrote on Twitter: “Great Arsenal mysteries of our time: 1) Why has goal machine Aubameyang stopped scoring? 2) What the hell’s gone wrong with Willian? 3) Why did we pay £72m for Pepe? 4) How did we get away with only paying £25m for Tierney?”
Morgan wasn’t the only one impressed with the Scotland international’s display as Arsenal fans raved about him on social media.
One supporter even demanded Tierney now be seriously considered as the best left-back in world football.
Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to his performance.
@hippi200: ” Kieran Tierney is not a talent. He is waaaay beyond a talent. He is already world-class. I adore the guy”
@JackJ_Cooper: “Kieran Tierney is phenomenal…”
@neyogunnersz: “Kieran Tierney is in a league of his own, guy is head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch, our best player in the first half. Willian, Nelson, Pepe, Willock and Aubameyang have to do better. Decent chances but the final ball is trash.”
@Gooner_Eurychus: “Kieran Tierney has been our most creative and best player. He has been robbed off assists.”
@Bry5913 : “Downright offensive that Kieran Tierney is having to share a pitch with these 21 players.”
@Adsaros4: “Kieran Tierney is running rings round these Newcastle players”
@PhillySteak92: “Love Kieran Tierney, helps that he’s absolutely class too. Took us this long to replace Ashley Cole”
@londonsgreatest: “Enjoying this game of Kieran Tierney vs Newcastle United.”
@Pepenelli: “Kieran Tierney walks into every team in the Premier League at the moment.”
@_jakesta3: “Kieran Tierney knocking on the door of the best LB in the world discussion”
