Tierney will flop down south if asked to play as a traditional full back. He's a good attacking force but he just isn't capable of consistently providing a meaningful obstacle to a good player. He'd make a very good wing back because he isn't completely incompetent defensively and the left centre back could cover up.
What? He’s more suited to left back than wing back if anything.
The actual business of defending is comfortably the worst aspect of his game.

I did. Madness. He is their Harold 100%
Disagree but we’ll probably not find out.
Neymar to Barcelona for 100 million plus Rakitic, Dembele and Umtiti apparently. Wot
If true, that is a super deal for PSG.
That may just rival the Ibrahimovic deal for levels of badness.
Apparently it's more than likely just one or two of those.
Still mad.
Even if they give up two of them whoever is running transfers for Barcelona needs to be punched to the ground.
The money plus Rakitic would be understandable, since he's thirty one, De Jong is incoming, and Coutinho would slot in there anyway, but either of the other two and you'd want to be halving that fee.
Dembele must be well fed up being the makeweight to supposed Neymar deals by now.
ITK, Chicharito to LAFC.
If that falls through, perhaps Ki Sung-yueng.
What's Ki Sung-Yueng wanting to buy Javier Hernandez for?
EDIT: Also who was it who started a thread in which he called him Javier Fernandez on the new old board?
I’d agree, but he’d still be an improvement on Kolasinac and I’d say that was also comfortably the worst aspect of Andy Robertson’s game until his move to Liverpool. The modern full back is hardly a Stuart Pearce clone unless your in a side that’s actively looking to absorb pressure a la Burnley, so I think he’s got enough about him to develop into a good full back down south. Whether we’re the best side to that with is a different matter but we’re not going to compete for the likes of Tagliafico (also not a great defender anyway) or Chilwell, so I’d have thought a 20m-odd punt on him would be as good as any.
Either way, lack of any talk of a left back is most concerning. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen our centre halves exposed by the lack of awareness of Kola this season, and only Rob Holding saved us from embarrassment down that flank many a time during the good run of results. That he’s become a lynchpin of a defence with German and French internationals and an experienced Champions League campaigner in it is shocking, really.
Out of interest @John was there any talk of Charlie Gilmour heading to Ibrox? He’s a Rangers man through and through and after his release a lot of Arsenal fans expected him to head there, but apparently Norwich have tabled an offer. He’s a very classy young fella, but of a shame he’s playing in an area where we’ve got quite a few options.
que lastima... I thought Orlando was positioning to bring him in.
Plenty of fan interest in bringing him in and his release launched a thousand 'GiveMeSport' articles full of Twitter embeds, but there was never anything from Gerrard or the club. Given what an absolute steal Glen Kamara has been I'd quite like us to raid the bins outside the Arsenal academy a bit more often.
Glad Glen Kamara’s getting on well. One of several of our youngsters that were underrated. Gilmour’s definitely the better, as far as youth games go, and was the leader of a team that won their league this year. Sounds like the usual GiveMeSport et al just picking up shite from Reddit posts and turning it into reports.
Just to keep you non-ITK folk in the loop, Mbappe followed a bunch of Liverpool players today and met with Lebron James the other day so Twitter has decided it's OFFICIALLY ON.
Just leave the trophy at the gates.
Why does meeting with Lebron mean it's on?
He's a Liverpool shareholder. I think he has 1.
2% if i recall
#itk?
LeBron also wore a Liverpool cap when they met. So it's 100% on.
The Sty Dwellers have sacked Monk and confirmed themselves as a complete basket case. I am lolling very hard.
If Mbappé comes to Liverpool I'm gonna jizz my pants.
GS might even jizz.
He's been throbbing shots into his socks for years.
His church doesn't allow that.
Yean, and Islam is the religion of peace and Catholics don't allow sex outside of marriage, but there's still alot of kids that walk funny. It's always the ones that pretend the hardest.
He'll have had a tearfull chest full of orangespunk many a time.
Some of it might have even been his own.
I’ll swallow it.
I'm a twit
What a weird thing to say like just out of excitement.
Europa league 2nd round draw will take place shortly. Wolves can draw the following teams.
AEL Limassol (CYP)
Sabail (AZE) / Universitatea Craiova (ROU)
Shakhtyor Soligorsk (BLR) / Hibernians (MLT)
Connah's Quay (WAL) / Kilmarnock (SCO)
Crusaders (NIR) / B36 Tórshavn (FRO)
Jeunesse Esch (LUX) / Tobol Kostanay (KAZ)
Scotland and Wales can both fuck off.
Wolves have a home tie on July 25th against either Crusaders in Northern Ireland or B36 Torshavn in the Faroe Islands
Dundalk got FC Riga in the UCL. I think they're the remains from a defunct club and fairly new but have decent clout behind them.
And speaking of new clubs rising from the ashes possibly Cork vs Rangers in the Europa, Foras vs Sevco. That won't be embarrassing at all.
Never been jealous of the dingles recent money and success until now. I'd fucking love to go to the faroes or norn iron to see WBA in an early euros qualifier
That is never happening for you lad.
Steve Walsh to Man Utd as DoF. #itk
Well if Fergie's as good at recommending DOFs as he is at recommending managers we're fucking sorted.
Saints in Vitesse and Milan are the two best days of my life.
I'll always have Peterborough away in the fa cup 5th round I spose.
Have been to Portugal with Villa and could definitely do with more. Elimination to some no mark Faroe outfit would do.
It sounds like every MLS team is interested in Chicharito. Guardado another one likely to join MLS
Is having Mexican 'star' players basically a massive commercial boost for any MSL team? I would assume so.
Who would Mbappe replace and what would the first 11 look like?
Fapworthy either way I’m sure.
Who's the what now?
Hernandez would score 60 a season once he drops to a certain level.
