You know what Klaus meant, if he's said structure instead of amortise there wouldn't have been an issue. I don't think it's being cheap trying to negotiate a good deal in our position. It's also maybe being missed that we could know Celtic and Tierney's intentions, and as long as all three parties are comfortable a deal will happen when it happens. Ideally it would be sooner rather than later but Tierney is not fit yet so in a practical sense it makes no difference in whether he is doing rehab with Celtic's physios or ours.

Is the 25m amount not what Celtic did would be required right at the start. So we've negotiated hard to get the same price but with the risk is the transfer falling through if it goes like this.
I'm sure we were always just about there with the overall price, the problem has been how it is structured and the initial payment.
