I liked Moult at Motherwell but cruciate ligament injuries are the pits.Quote:

Even the crock buyers of old gorgie town will be wary.
I’m not saying we should go for him, but the recovery rate for pro athletes from crucial injuries is almost 100 percent now ..the procedure has advanced and the rehab is well understood . Also these guys get to focus purely on their rehab - it’s not anywhere near the challenging injury to recover from than it was 10-20 years ago ....Quote:

Are you any more likely to suffer the same injury in the future if you have had it before?Quote:

He’s 29 now though. It’s pretty much all downhill from here and it’s already a few years since he was at his best. We should stay well clear and I’m certain we shall.Quote:

They're welcome to him :agree:
Line from Scott Burns (who knows his Aberdeen stuff) about Irvine.
“They are also in talks with Clark Robertson and have also spoken to Jackson Irvine but if he remains in Scotland he is more likely to resign for Hibs, although he has strong interest from overseas.“
Sounds to me like they tried and were told to bolt.
Villa reported with an interest in Turnbull
EXCLUSIVE: English Premier League club line up £7m summer transfer swoop for Celtic star David Turnbull
https://t.co/ih4wA7QUUC https://t.co/mSKwNUzHPP
£7m for Turnbull but £2.5m for McGinn. Crazy.
Last year of his contract and that but still
Quite right, 7m I think isn’t our of the question. We undersell players up here compared to what’s being paid for players in leagues below the premiership 7m isn’t anything to Prem clubs. Celtic paid 2.7m for him only last year and he’s progressed as a big player for them since so why not 7m 🤷*♂️Quote:

The only plus was that it raised our profile with clubs in England. Hopefully the next one won’t go so cheap.
Surprised if turnbull goes after only a season. He’s settled well and will surely play a lot of games at Celtc next term.
Yes, and puts a question mark against their supposed financial clout v our’s. There again, it could also indicate that Irvine has struck up a good relationship with his team-mates at ER and fancies another season with them.Quote:

Yeh I remember that, I think it's unfortunate that we have not had fans in the stadium to help him get that connectionQuote:

It might just be me, but for what it is worth, I just feel all three are replaceable and you would have lots of money left to strengthen other areas of the team and squad. The only thing that worries me is an extremely high level of player turnover having seen how it often doesn't work out at other clubs - Hearts are a prime example.
Firstly lets win the Cup.Quote:

Is this Super John's replacement at Villa?Quote:

Spurs must be looking at SJM..he absolutley bossed their midfield the other night by all accounts.Quote:

All the others, to one degree or another, are replaceable.
Doig, Nisbet and Porteous are all replaceable imo so if good offers came in I think we could end up a much better side if the money was all reinvested.Quote:
