Meant to say, Div was talking about that himself when he was doing his interview at the YPOTY... Quote “I am not sure it is really up to me,” said the teenager, who declared himself “delighted” and “grateful” for the “brilliant” news of his being honoured by the SFWA, when asked if he would like to get another full season at Motherwell under his belt as a mainstay in order to enhance his development. “I’d just like to come back next season and see what happens. If clubs come in and put a bid in then it is obviously a bonus and shows that I am doing well, but I am not sure it is up to me. If somebody came in and bid a lot of money I am sure the club would want to take it and maybe look at a loan back if I went somewhere. At the moment I am just focusing on Motherwell.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The one good thing about the money flying around down in England the last few years is the effect it has had on bringing the big 2 down a peg or two. Rangers - Dead. Celtic - Probably before the half way point of this calendar year already confirmed as smaller than both Leicester and Norwich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like this has gone unnoticed tbh. I've read the quotes a few times and I've honestly no idea what he's supposed to be saying. Quite concerning how incoherent his rambling was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Between being an absolute fucking baller, getting a club record fee and bending it right up Celtic, I look forward to us unveiling the David Turnbull South Stand for next season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydave Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Celtic have been done like a kipper by DT, his agent and indeed MFC . Never any intention he was going to the bheasts from the east. Glorious stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is he still doesn't realise that the only reason Turnbull signed his new contract with us was to show loyalty to Motherwell by getting them a handsome transfer fee. Not a single Motherwell fan thought he'd be with us when the season kicked off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Every quote I've read from Turnbull make him sound like a sensible guy who's just focussed on his career, but Celtic das are convinced he's a greedy scumbag simply because he doesn't want to go to the Club Like No Other. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 8 hours ago, kingjoey said: So, Celtic offer a contract to Turnbull, and he rejects it. Celtic issue official statement saying exactly that. Celtic try to resurrect the deal with Turnbull. Turnbull still rejects it. Celtic say they have pulled out of the deal. Some delusional Celtic fans try to manipulate events to say that it’s Celtic that have rejected Turnbull. And the worst thing is that they actually believe that, in their own minds. Aye. The mainstream media are against Celtic is what we always here. Doing their very best to dress it up today. Celtic fans in so much denial that they are quoting the media they usually deride. As if Celtic have suddenly decided they don't want the boy and within an hour Norwich have come in with a bid larger than Celtics and had it accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hilarious insight into the cult-like mentality of an Old Firm fan.

Popular Post Swello Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 Celtic's playbook for getting Scottish players probably needs an update. The old tabloid diplomacy doesn't work as well as it did - although I thought using *Joe Miller*, a player who moved to Celtic before Turnbull was born was particularly funny. Celtic of course could have afforded what Norwich will pay in wages and transfer fees but they can't compete with what Norwich can offer from a development point of view - and everything that he gets at Norwich will come without the baggage of hordes of 50 year old roasters wondering which school he went to... 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Between an obviously ridiculous managerial appointment, making a complete mess of their attempt to sign their number one transfer target for the second summer running and the resultant cranial detachment of fans, players, staff and friendly journalists alike, Celtic have really never looked so much like Rangers since the latter died.

Definetly, although I don't think Celtic were being cheap not giving the boy 20K or whatever it was, they simply couldn't because the other players at that age don't get that. English clubs can gamble on young players with money like that without breaking sweat. It is an excellent move for him, his agent has played a blinder. Celtic could have come out of this ok if they hadn't made total fools of themselves by spitting the dummy out, when the agent asked for what has been proven to be attainable wages. Then to top it off they seem to have got a whiff of this Norwich bid and chose to embarrass themselves further by acting like they were pulling out, f*ck sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is not the £20k he allegedly asked for. It's the fact he wanted more game time and on a wage which would be fair in comparison to his peers. If he is offered £7k to play for Celtic then he's sat on a bench. Once he breaks through, he's in a poor bargaining position because Celtic would have no appetite to triple his wage. He'll go to Norwich with a clear plan on what his development will be and on a decent wage. He's made the right decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
