People often take tweets as truths. As of now, I see no basis to trust it since no official announcement has been made. I don’t believe there’s a significant opportunity for him in the first team, but he could potentially be a future asset. If he’s left, I can accept it. However, if he’s still here, a loan might be a more sensible choice given our other alternatives.

Agree. The only tweets I believe as truths before official confirmation are those made by Fabrizio Ramano as he is well informed and what he's tweeted or mentioned get officially confirmed days or weeks later. I know that's slightly off topic from the Brooks situation. On the loan front you've mentioned, how many more loans can we send him out for before he's given a chance or it's time to sell up as he's constantly out on loan? He most definitely should be considered as a future asset. 

What I find puzzling, if this is indeed true, is that Notts have promoted him as a future prospect. They’ve created a situation where most fans are eager to see him get a chance, which is unusual for a young goalkeeper.

I’ve noticed that some people are now calling for him, but a few months ago, I doubt we would have seen this. If they let him go without giving him a proper chance, it seems less likely that we will ever start giving young players a chance unless they immediately excel, which is highly unlikely at our level.

Notts have confirmed Tiernan's permanent departure.

 

It’s very hard balance, I think everyone wants to see more academy players in the first team but I don’t think fans would want it at the expense of a competitive team. This is where you have to trust the coaches who see these players every day, if they feel they are ready then they have to be brave and give them a chance.

I don’t think Tiernan was the answer, right now, to our goal keeping issues. He was also injured a bit last season and in his short spell with Rochdale it’s hard to find many comments about his time there. But if their fans had desperately wanted him to go back, we would have known about it. He’s still young though and needs the game time, maybe another season out on loan just didn’t enthuse him - we can’t send him out on loan forever! It’s a shame, I hope he does well at Gateshead, he could well return one day in the future…

Mark Crossley used his persuasive skills to successfully convince Notts to sign Tiernan Brooks, following his release from Sheffield Wednesday's academy.

The high hopes we gained for Brooks came from seeing him praised by virtually everyone. The club became wrapped up with trying to push him over the line to become our first team keeper but were never really keen to give him that chance. It's been nice to see someone, like Tiernan gain the support because he has done well. I know Rochdale fans who were keen to see him join them, which I am sure they'll be disappointed about.

When Brooks managed to get into the team due to injuries etc, I think it came via a lot of fan pressure and I thought he did well.

It's better for his career that he now has made the move to become a number 1 keeper, whereas here he most likely wouldn't. At least not until things changed, it's disappointing in one hand because we never give youngsters any real chance, but it's hard to deny them a chance to flourish when an opportunity comes calling.

I am so sorry to see Tiernan go... but it also says a lot that Stone is still here. 

I hope Notts have a sell on clause because I believe Tiernan will become good

Gutted he has gone. Along the lines of what others have said,  I thought  Notts were perhaps going to give him an opportunity this season. But after they signed Bass, i think he would potentially have been a good number two. Now we have an aging keeper and A keeper that can't dive for back up.  

We've had two strange decisions by Notts this week first Tiernan, now Kyle.

I hope Notts are going to bring in further players as replacements for these two that are leaving.

Very strange from Notts. We brought in Stone whereas we would've been better off having Tiernan in there, especially when or season had been over for weeks before the end. 

I guess he’s at a stage where he needs regular first team football and Notts can’t guarantee that at the moment and like someone said we can’t keep sending him out on loan he needs a settled permanent club where he can develop his potential, it’s disappointing for us fans but best for his career. I for one will be watching with interest how he does in the future. Good luck Tiernan.

I am still annoyed from last summer, when Tiernan should have been given a chance and we dished out unwarranted contracts to defenders and a keeper, who froze for 8 or so minutes at Wembley

 

Tiernan should be here at Notts fighting for a place in the Notts side. I put him ahead of Slocombe & Tiernan should be at least the second choice.

Sometimes a can't make out some of the Notts decisions regarding their players, & why some are deemed to be ok and some not.

If another team think that Tiernan is good enough for them, then why not Notts?

Notts were ok playing players that were clearly not good enough last season.
