No I don't know and haven't been told. Just surmising from reading the pieces in the media. These stories might be true or false or somewhere inbetween. From what is in the media I'm saying it sounds like he or his agent or both are being greedy. It seems that way. Of course it might not be that way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don't want a young scottish talent to fail. I'm just saying if he didn't make it and ended up never earning a big move/big bucks it would serve him right if he had indeed been greedy. Time will tell if he has made a good decision.

The paper I read yesterday reported Turnbull's offer was £12k per week. I find that a lot more believable than 4K. Absolutely no chance he was offered that low a wage.

Or as suggested elsewhere on this thread, he may have had his head turned by some English championship club who have a lot of money sloshing around 😆

Sky sports news are reporting Sheffield Wednesday are lining up a bid for him. So every chance he has had his head turned

The Sun reporting he was offered more than Van Dijk started on at Celtic and Turnbull's agent is asking for £20,000 per week. I know the newspapers are not always correct but I'd be more inclined to believe he was offered £12,000 a week than £4,000.

John McGinn has written the blue print for any future good young Scottish lads wanting to go far in the game. First off, knock the bevvy sessions and late nights on the head and do everything right. Also don’t jump ship too early, establish yourself at club level and hopefully international level. If your good enough, you’ll make the big money. For me the best thing this lad could do is play another year at Motherwell, that’s not going to happen though.

Now we are expected to believe that Turnbull and his agent are being greedy.
The common theme is Celtic and their penny pinching.
Perhaps Turnbull and his agent know what a 3m pound player gets paid and want something close to that?

McGinn had proven himself over a number of seasons, in big matches and was a full internationalist - I don't think anyone outside of Celtic fantasists were claiming greed. He had proven his worth.
If Motherwell had turned down 3 million on the basis they valued him at 5 million I don't see as being greedy either.
If he ends up getting £12+ or £20k a week then fair play to him. All in all I hope he makes a succes of himself.
If it transpires his goals and form aren't repeated and he turned out to be a flash in the pan he will only have himself to blame. For what it's worth with championship teams hovering no doubt he can make his seemingly self appointed worth of a wage.
Maybe it's the ridiculous wages that top footballers get that grates with me. Maybe it's that some think they are worth it. Maybe footballers wages the world over should be capped at a certain level and the billions of excess can be used in our health, education, poverty etc
I'm not looking to start a debate or get political. We live in a world where 1 man won't be able to get enough food from a foodbank and another man pockets £100,000 a week whilst complaining of having to force pasta down his neck at 9 in the morning for a lunchtime kick off.
Anyway I digress. It's a short career for footballers if Turnbull thinks he is worth a fortune then good luck to him.
If he turns away a gravy boat and lands in a bigger gravy boat he will have done well for himself. If he misses the gravy boat all together through holding out for a bigger fortune than on offer he won't get any sympathy from me and I would think, 'well serves you right'.
All in all, it's probably because I'm jealous really. That and getting older and grumpier.
As someone else coined it, I would gladly force pasta up my arse for £100,000 a week!
So..... who are Hibs signing?

I think it was reported recently that the average wage at Celtc was £800k pa ie £16k per week. £12k would seem reasonable if they're signing 19 year old Turnbull to be a regular starter but not if he's a squad player which, based on their current midfield, would be their intention prior to him earning a place. So I'd guess that they've offered a lower starting wage with good appearance money and automatic increases after a certain number of games to get to £12k.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

With everybody back on Thursday might we assume that the club will remain pretty quiet about any and all speculation until then?
It'll be great to see Allan, Boyle and Porteous back at HTC.

McNulty next week. He’s not returning to Reading pre-season.
