Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

So here we are at 5pm when he was pictured in a Celtic shirt a few hours ago.

Why has it not been announced yet ? 

Probably on his way to talk to Southampton or Newcastle 

Put us out of our misery........so we can move on....

I doubt you ever will you seething little orclet. Pleasing. :)

Just like you and your ilk have never moved on from Mo Johnston doing the dirty on you thirty years ago. I was young at the time so didn't get to fully appreciate it in all its glory, but if the teary eyed, snottery nosed outpouring that followed Brendan Rodgers ditching you lot for Leicester back in February was anything to go by, it would have been pretty special for any Celtic hater back in 1989.

Tbh, from Motherwell's POV schedule the announcement for 6pm and mute all notifications IMO.

I almost want Turnbull to score against us to annoy MJC

Whatever floats your boat. 

I almost want you to repeat that comment on the next podcast, just so I can get a mention. 

But that would be pretty sad, wouldn't it?

Why has this got you so angry, is it because the ***'s couldn't afford 3 million ?

This has nothing to do with them.

I'm angry because he has signed for a club which I absolutely despise. 

It's that simple.

Just Twitter chat at the moment as far as I can tell but there are some rumours linking us with Kyle Lafferty.

Tbf we've been linked with him pretty regularly since Robinson's been at the club. N. Ireland ting and that.

I seem to remember there being a fair amount of chat on SO about us signing him before he ended up at Hearts. I think there was also mention over there earlier in this window when the speculation about Gerrard binning him was in the press. It may in fact have been one of the posters on here that was saying he'd heard Lafferty had been in touch with Robinson.

I'm no fan of the staunchness but I'm all for us signing the lanky freakshow (subject to T&Cs).

He'd be a great signing for us. A proven goalscorer in the Scottish Premiership with two different clubs (or three). At 32 years of age he's obviously a veteran but I certainly think he could do a job for us for a season or two.

I can't see it though.

Apart from the fact that at the very least stop him scoring against us if he went to another club I'd say Lafferty fits squarely in our recruitment market/model:

  • Robinson knows/has worked with him before
  • Apparently he's been told he's surplus to requirement at his current club and free to leave
  • We're in the market for a first pick #9. Specifically one who'll occupy centre backs and run channels.

The only obvious issue is wages and the fact he's under contract at Rangers but if you throw the fact that we should be talking to them about compensation for Hastie at the moment then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As an aside we've got folk who apparently "won't be back" because Turnbull's going to Celtic, "won't be back" if we sign Lafferty and folk who are still raging because Hastie's gone to Rangers...it's absolutely fucking exhausting tbqh.

We're surely due another Turnbull plot twist in the next hour or so?

Incidentally, I wonder if the delay with the player we were supposed to be announcing today (per Alan Burrows on Twitter) is connected to Turnbull not having been announced by Celtic yet.

MJC unsurprisingly getting a stauncher over this.

 

About a player who is a proven goalscorer in the Scottish top flight potentially being linked with us?

I don't know about a stauner or a stauncher as you put it, but the prospect of us signing that player appeals to me. He'd score goals for us, I'm sure of that.

I agree with the posters saying Celtic isn’t the best place for a Scottish youngster to develop and excel their game, but he will definitely be getting more first team experience here than at Norwich. Going by the Motherwell fans on here he has been consistent in saying he will only move to a team where he is guaranteed to be playing week in week out, so if the only 2 options were Celtic and Norwich I think he’s made the correct decision  

If it was up to me I would be selling Rogic to the highest bidder, phasing Brown out of the first team into a back up role and playing a midfield of Turnbull and Christie with McGregor sitting (assuming Ntcham is leaving). If that midfield 3 could get Champions League experience it could be the Scotland national teams midfield for years to come. 

I really rate Turnbull and also work with a couple of Motherwell fans who absolutely rave about him. If he can score that amount of goals from midfield for Motherwell then I would like to think he could do the same for Celtic where he will playing amongst a higher calibre of player (no disrespect to the Motherwell team).

In my opinion he should be in the first 11 from the opening day of the season, and I will be very annoyed if he’s used in any other way. If that was to happen then the fans berating Celtic for wasting Scottish talent will be completely vindicated.
