With the massive amounts of money being quoted for players in this inflated market why don't we test Celtics resolve with a £20/ 25 million bid for Teirney no disrespect ment to Celtic but that is serious money that BR could use to great effect in strengthning his celtic team even further I know some of you will say how is selling one of your brightest prospects a step forward for them but realistically the money could fund 2 or 3 new first team players for them and we would be getting a cracking full back for a reasonable price.

{Ed001's Note - they wouldn't sell for that. Not that it matters as he has no interest in leaving them right now. Not sure what people are not getting about this, Tierney is a Celtic fan and is not looking to leave Celtic at this point in his career.}

Sound Ed understand that fully but just like ever other fan on here I'm hoping we go and get someone decent to fill that left back position being linked with Robinson at Hull deflates me simply not good enough I'm not saying that we have to spend £50 million plus on a LB but surely there has to be more decent backs out there to buy I mean we have had a full year to track someone to fill that slot and Robinson is the best we can come up with? Partly our own fault as you say Teirney doesn't want to go, Fulham don't to deal with us for obvious reasons and Monaco will price us out of a Mendy deal so where to next .

{Ed001's Note - that is what we pay a scouting team for, to find those players.}

Sorry Ed001 half asleep this morning don't know who this Robinson lad is I was refering to of course it should have read Robertson still whatever the spelling is he is simply no improvement on Milner IMO, hopefully our well paid scouting team have a gem that will sort out this problem area for once and for all . Apologies for you having to hammer home again the fact that Teirney will be going no where just impatient lime many a fan that nothing concrete seems to being done to sort out this position or could the Ox be seen by Klopp as someone he could mould into a wing back and that's why we're being linked with him . Thanks for your patience and informative quick responses.

{Ed001's Note - not so sure that 'well paid' applies to most of the scouting team, which is a big issue. Scouts have to spend large sums to get scouting qualifications but then get paid a pittance, yet they are one of the most important parts of a club. Scouts are massively undervalued in the industry as a whole, it is something that should be looked at.}

Probably my ignorance that I presumed everyone working at a top premier league club was well paid point taken ed001 don't doubt for a second that our scouts are vitally important and probably undervalued at the club hopefully though they will unearth some fantastic players for us in the not to distant future . Thanks again.

{Ed001's Note - they get very low pay in the main. It is something that is currently causing a fair bit of disquiet, with talk of creating a scouts' union in some quarters.}

Makes sense for a club to snap up the top scouts by offering them all above the usual pay brackets.

It happens with a, E-gaming company near where I live. They just offer stupid cash and then get to choose whoever they want to work for them.
