Don't think it would be that up front no doubt a string of payments over 3 years or so.

Fair dos Jim, was really meaning guaranteed £3M.

Deal could be off again. Issue identified in his medical

Rumours on Twitter that he's been taking illegal substances over the summer. Not sure if that would be identified in a medical or not.

That would hugely diminish any transfer value he has going forward if that's the case, and potentially even lead to him being banned?

What’s your point about the likes of Robertson playing in the SPFL? That we would have top class players playing in our league? That might not be the case. Sometimes they need to go to a higher level in order to develop. Robertson is playing at a much higher level now than he was at Dundee Utd, and I mean in terms of play, ability, etc. rather than standard of league. I’m not so sure he would be anywhere near that level had he stayed in Scotland.

Ideally they would go away, come back after a few years having developed and learned and this would drive up the quality of the SPFL. Unfortunately, Scottish clubs are then priced out or they come back too late in their careers.

Loads of foreign players in Scotland so I have no problem with Scottish players trying their luck elsewhere.

Like it or not, Andy Robertson is a much better player since he moved to Liverpool. He has admitted that he was intimidated by the quality of the squad when he first joined, but competition and great coaching helped him reach another level.

One of the best players, in that position, in the world right now.

Good on him!

Haha

He's pish anyway we move on.
He's brilliant glad we're signing him.
He wouldn't have improved us anyway we move on.


Hate saying it but i really fancy the huns to win the league (boke). Celtic have become a bit scatty since Rodgers left.

According to the BBC he needs immediate surgery and will be out for an extended period of time. I can only imagine this surgery is required to save his career long term. Rather churlish to be laughing at the deal collapsing given the circumstances.....

Knee operation and it could be months.

See Tam McManus must be well ITK again when he tweeted saying it was a minor op and the deal will still 100% go through

Tam McManus talking *****? Well I never. Wonder what his back track will be this time

[Sylar]

I'm glad it isn't drugs, as was being rumoured online yesterday.

Feel for the laddie more than anything else - that'll set him back a wee bit. I'm guessing Celtc will probably be glad they have a naural conclusion that allows them to wash their hands a little bit.

Still, a blow to their offseason activities.

Motherwell haven’t come out of this well or the player or his agent. Did he only damage his knee last night?

Maybe the problem wasn't apparent until the medical/scans?

Turnbull will get a bigger move than Celtic. I don't think he'll be too concerned about it

Not really sure I agree with that - the medical resources available to Celtic will be far greater than those available to Motherwell and rightly so, insurance companies need to protect themselves when clubs are paying multiple millions for a player. If you watch the Liverpool videos on what new players have to go through it's really amazing.....

I considered that but do you think that’s likely in a pro footballer receiving regular physio attention in his chosen career, possibly daily? Needing surgery doesn’t make it sound like a niggle. One medical and his knee needs opening? I smell *****.
PS I’ll bet NL never seen an issue with his bad knee! Pop the ****er back in and get on with it!

And this is exactly why Hibs point blank refuse to make comment on transfers until they are 100% complete.

Not sure I agree with you either. Motherwell and their medical staff should know their players inside out.

[Spike Mandela]

No doubt this will be a serious dent in Motherwell’s transfer ambitions this summer.

I’m not saying this is the case here but Garry O’Connor had a “bad injury” at Birmingham City.
