Including Turnbull after 6 good months is a bit out there.

 

ETA; I know how good he was. I am just mixing it up, I don't think he'd make mine though.

This team would cause absolute carnage, bodies everywhere. Was surprised at the lack of Big John Sutton incomeing chat on the Patreon FWIW.

He always speaks well but bloody hell...that's an absolutely superb listen.

Given the club get a lot of plaudits for their model and strategy it's interesting to hear him talking about being conscious of being left behind by other clubs and what they're doing.

Oxford paying Columbus a million for Cadden six months after they refused to pay us significantly less in compo surely crosses the line between exploiting a loophole and like, literal money laundering?

Did Aaron Mooy not have the same situation?

Signed for Man City then less than a week later was off to Huddersfield. He just happened to be signed from one of Man Citys "sister" sides, Melbourne, who aren't allowed to receive mega fees from abroad.

No. The issue was that Oxford were going to pay Columbus a nominal fee that was lower than the compo we would receive. However if they are bidding in the million pound range it justs shows they were idiots to not pay up in the summer.

Wouldn't surprise me if Cadden had other offers from bigger clubs than Oxford in this window. The MLS season is still over a month from starting so there is a chance he won't go to America at all.

We get 5% of any fee for Cadden. So hope he goes for over a million.

My TOTD 

Randolph

Tait  Hutchinson  McManus  Hammell

Ojamaa  Lasley  Turnbull  Murphy 

Moult  Higdon 

Arguably Kipre should be in infront of McManus but the big man was an important player for us for many seasons this decade especially in our key years.

So.. is there any noise about when Davie Turnbull is expected back yet? Is he away with the squad to Tenerife?  I would have thought the Tenerife break would be a good opportunity to get him up to speed for a return all going well.

On paper it is going to be absolutely wild when he is back to full fitness in this team. Watching Turnbull last year was some of the best skill I've seen on display at Fir Park. This isn't just like a new signing, we will be gaining the best player in the squad by some distance. I can imagine the likes of Long and Scott will be relishing the potential chances created with him back in the middle of the park.

If we could get Turnbull + new striker + new winger we could have a realistic chance of pushing Aberdeen all the way for third.

From speaking to other folk I think I am a bit higher on Cole than most, I think he offers us something different and has a real presence up front. Clearly though his wages must be miles out of our reach as it sounds like we have all but gave up on trying to retain him.

It's going to be difficult to replace Cole but hopefully we go for someone with a similar presence as I thought against Accies our attacking options looked a bit exposed. I mentioned another winger for the same reason. Illic has barely kicked a baw so difficult to judge and Seedorf apart from a couple of bright spots doesn't really seem to be arsed. I can see why we signed him, he definitely has great pace but his lack of tracking back, any sort of fight, zero positioning sense strikes me as someone who is finding the transiition from u20 football to the senior game quite tricky.

He’s certainly in the squad going to Tenerife according to the official website. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’s back in training right enough. 

Even if/when he’s given the go ahead to get back to training, he’s not kicked a ball since May. Will probably still be another 4-6 weeks from being anywhere back near the first team.

Might be wrong but I’d be pleasantly surprised if we see much if anything of him before March.

Is it just me or others also getting bad vibes about Turnbull 

He was not carrying an injury the procedure was  precautionary to prevent further damage in the future

I know someone who had operations on his ACL and meniscus 

All went well and after rehab he can do most thing

ONE THING HE HAS BEEN TOLD HE CANNOT DO IS TAKE PART IN CONTACT SPORTS
