Funny. I care even less about this than I care where Turnbull ends up. I guess you take what you get with this thread!Quote:

Yes he may only be on 400 pw now and it would be a huge jump and a great salary (for people out with football and based on him only doing it for 8 months)
But he is being bought for 3-3.5 million pounds and has English clubs interested in signing him who would probably offer double that.
Celtic paid Scott Allan more a week who they signed for free after one decent season in the championship.
If they’re paying that much of a fee he won’t be sitting in the reserves.
I also have a feeling he just doesn’t fancy Celtic and wants to go down south.
They haven't learned from the John McGinn fiasco.Quote:

We linked with anyone else or?
Nothing new that I’ve seen. Heckingbottom has said Omeonga wants to sign and we want to sign him but won’t be able to progress until after the Euro u21s and obviously depends on offering Genoa the kind of cash they’d want.Quote:

Other irons in the fire.Quote:

CB: Hanlon
LB: Stevenson
RW: Boyle
CM: Allan
CM: Mallan
LW: Horgan
ST: Shaw
ST: Kamberi
Second XI:
GK: Dabrowski
RB: Whittaker
CB: McGregor
CB: Jackson
LB: Mackie
RW:
CM: Murray
CM: Slivka
LW: Newell
ST: Gullan
ST:
Not convinced Whittaker/Slvka are in his plans, and Dabrowski may not be our second choice (plus Marciano might be away). We're also still pretty soft in midfield, and strikers obviously needed.
Looking at that we need two grafters in midfield, another winger and two strikers.Quote:

Wouldn’t surprise me if Dabrowski, Gullan and Mackie go out on for another 6 months or so. Dabrowski hasn’t played enough football, to sit on the bench every week. Needs to be playingQuote:

Has Dabrowski been out on loan yet Billy ?Quote:

Cheers JC, decent level club on loan has to be his next move if he is going to make the step upQuote:

Ones a midfielder though. I'd imagine Mackie will be battling it out with Lewis?Quote:

Well aye, but I was kinda hoping that this means we'll be looking at someone else to challenge Lewis..Quote:

Unless I am not aware of them playing before -entirely possible- but I think it is mental they are attracting so much attention after such a short period of time.
If I am right and it has only been the second half of the season, even if it’s been a whole season, you’d think they’d be counselled to stay and develop further with motherwell.
It all seems extremely rushed to me.
Clearly you know, or have been told that they are being greedy? I'd suggest they perhaps have other interested parties, or have reservations about signing, maybe want to keep options open? Who knows?Quote:

To suggest you would like to see him fail based on speculation is quite harsh IMO.
