Injured 28-year-old defender with a questionable performance record, with one year left on his contract?
We broke the Scottish transfer record for Tierney, who was injured for almost all of the last 2 seasons, and picked up yet another knock in training just yesterday. This is Mustafi's longest injury layoff, at about 2.5 months.
We don't even play Tierney in his proper LB role because we have too many injured CBs already, forcing him to fill in.
The PL is full of defenders with questionable performance records. A player that provides adequate squad depth, extensive PL experience, good match fitness and reasonable wages isn't worth selling for 10-15 million, when a replacement with the same attributes will likely cost much more.
