Hibs should make a bid for Turnbull now that Celtic have pulled out. If the lad genuinely wants a move for football reasons and not money then Hibs could put together a deal that could see him get the right move eventually like McGinn.

The only issue being Well's 3m valuation...Quote:

Be interesting to see where he ends up

If the player is genuine about not going to Celtic for football reasons and has a good head on his shoulders it might be a wise move. If he only wants money he will head South for the biggest offer. We aren’t talking about a 30 year old Champions league winner we are talking about a young lad who had a decent first season at bottom six Motherwell.
Worth asking. If we don’t Aberdeen or Hearts might.
Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts together could maybe make an offer Motherwell would accept. They have no reason to sell.Quote:

I thought he looked really good for Livi at the start of the season but seems to have dropped out the team at the end.Quote:

If all the Scottish Premiership clubs outside Glasgow put in a combined offer for Turnbull and offered to share him on a weekly basis that might work. We would hopefully get a few good games out of him.
It never ceases to amaze me how utterly detached some people are from reality.🙄Quote:

Never watched Motherwell and thought who is this boy running the show that looked a 3 million pound player. Though I did find myself thinking is that Turnbull scored again! Maybe will be a superstar just think he is being judged a hell of an early. Personally thought Hastie looked the better of the 2. Time will tell all.
Yeah kinda what I was thinking, just didn’t wanna **** all over the guys pipe dream :lips sealQuote:

We are just going to look silly and wasting our time going for a player that we can’t afford.
Jefferies confirmed that Kilmarnock have rejected a fourth bid from Rangers for Naismith, while Hibs made an offer in the region of 750,000 for the player which was also turned down.Quote:

There was talk of us having put in a bid of over £1m I’m sure. As people pointed out though we were never going to pay the wages that go with it. Seemed more like posturing and an attempt to make it look like we were going to reinvest more into the playing side than we did (not that there was anything wrong with spending the money the way that we did btw).Quote:

Yet I’m sure I read PH say that he’d seen him play at wingback before, which is a position that is 50% defending. I know he’ll obviously look to develop him further, but surely he can’t be as lazy as has been suggested?
I mean, the same could've been said for Allan at one point. He was certainly going it in his last spell. Players develope under different managers and systems.Quote:
