Dunno mate, the nicknames, chat name and just the general manner of speech seem fairly authentic to what a 19 year old footballer would text his pals. It's at least obscure enough it'd be weird to fake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m absolutely not taking it as gospel, but it’s not exactly outwith the realms of possibility for it to be legit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 If it is real he needs some new pals you’d be very disappointed if your mate put that on social media just for a few likes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwellhighland Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Turnbull is way ahead of all these comparisons. He's much much more than just goal and assist stats. The one you could see going down a similar path is Hastie but Turnbull will go all the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Is it just me or does anyone else think that Turnbull will still be a Celtic player before the transfer window shuts? This 'episode' is far from over I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'episode' is far from over I reckon. It's just you. To give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you didn't see yesterday's BBC article that extensively quoted Burrows? You give us (well, myself) the impression that your hatred of Celtic is far greater than your love of Motherwell..... Cheers PA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've tried a number of things to get people in that haven't quite come off at this moment in time and some we're still very much chasing." That's something I suppose. Finding genuine quality in the final third was always going to be the hardest part of this summer. Seems like a few things have fallen through as well in the last few weeks, maybe in relation to the Turnbull deal? As for Turnbull, I still think he might end up at Celtic but I can’t see it being this summer if it’s likely he won’t be back till 2020. I see we’re ‘rumoured’ to be offering him a new deal(with a release clause) to make him one of the highest paid players at the club- let’s be honest, he deserves to be the highest paid player. Even if we could get him to sign a 1 year extension with a 3m release clause- Turnbull gets a significant wage increase in the short term but not priced out his big move in the long run. Motherwell keep him for at least the 2nd half of the season but still get maximum value next summer. Sound fair? To me it does- although Turnbull could obviously tell us to f**k off which he’d be quite entitled to do, having now seen what’s on offer to him out there. No idea if it’s true or not however it’d make sense from the clubs point of view to at least ask the question. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I take it Turnbull can't just play and take his chances with this injury he has,if he plays will it be worst than 4 to 6 month? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one you could see going down a similar path is Hastie but Turnbull will go all the way. Hopefully you're right and he fulfils his early potential. So many variables in a young players career that can affect things though, only time will tell I guess. The injury is a real sickener for him when his career really seemed to be kicking off, hope he makes a full recovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I think Turnbull "making it" is as close to a sure thing as possible tbh. Some young boys burst onto the scene because of one or two attributes only to be found out as one trick ponies after a full season, but Turnbull's all round game is so ridiculously good that barring external factors like injuries or him turning into a total zoomer he's guaranteed to reach the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the season you are talking about is when Kenny Miller scored a load of goals for Hibs and got Young player of the year so he wasn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller getting young player of the year was 99-2000, he signed for rangers that summer. Not pretending I knew that, just looked it up. Parker had his spell at the start of 2000-01 season, scoring 10 goals by Christmas at 18 years old and getting an under 21 cap. He faded away and didn't score again that season. Can we now move on from the Keigan Parker chat?! I only mentioned him as a throwaway example of a young player who had a great spell in the premier/ ship and got talked up for a big move, only for it to be shortlived, and them possibly not fulfil potential for one reason or another. Every club will have an example of this. There are no guarantees in football, great opportunities don't always come back around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
