thisGRAEME Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 2 minutes ago, gannonball said: I still think Morgan is a player but he was one that was most likely have to be developed for a few seasons first like Christie and Rogic. Turnbull development wise is way ahead than they were joining so will probably get about 15/20 starts this season and go up and up from there. I'd agree with this as well. Any time I've seen Morgan he looks good, but doesn't have as obvious a place in a team as Turnbull does. Morgan's versatility as a player is great at a lower level, and allowed him to exploit weaknesses in teams wherever he could, but McGregor aside, Celtic players have a far more obvious role in the team. Happy to be corrected on that, but very much my impression of Morgan. I'm still not entirely sure Christie is quite the project he is made out to be either. Celtic didn't really seem to know what to do with him until he took Hearts apart in the second half of the League Cup semi and never looked back, and that appearance came out more of necessity than plan, for me. Odd one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 f**k him, he gets no good wishes from me joining those b*****ds and to anyone that upsets, tough...put it in your pipe and smoke it. Any other club I would have been fine with, but not that shower. I will seriously need to consider avoiding the first home of the season against that lot, as no doubt the usual mugs in our support will applaud him, then he'll score and we'll have to listen to their hoardes singing One David Turnbull or whatever. I think I'd blow a fucking gasket. As a club we need to forget about Turnbull and move on to the new season. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Turnbull signed a contract in January which has allowed us to secure a deal which ensures the clubs financial future for years to come. Anyone saying "f**k him" is a fucking idiot. HTH. Edited June 21, 2019 by Londonwell 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure MJC will also boo every player Motherwell are able to sign as a direct result of the money this deal will bring in, just to make sure he really sticks to his principles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 My first instinct when this first came out last week was that I was disappointed that he was joining Celtic as the sell-on would be less than we'd likely get if his next move were between English clubs and that still stands. But - given that we have a sell-on in the deal with Celtic, it's not as simple as "f**k 'im" - we have an interest that he does well enough to earn a decently big move next time and so for the sake of our bank balance (and to a lesser extent, for the sake of the national team), I hope he does well. It will still be a massive downer to see him score against us at the start of August, as is surely inevitable.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon really rates him and was his #1 target, Lennon is also a stubborn c**t so I reckon he will get plenty of game time even if he's not playing well.. We paid around £3 million for kouassi he hasn't kick a ball even outwith some of his injuries. Celtic play over 60 games a season if he signs for me there will be two options out on loan or taking the work load off other midfielders. If he gets 20 first team games he will be doing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd one. That's fair enough, how true it was he was close to leaving last season remains up for debate but I think Rodgers told him to bulk up more and he put on a stone in muscle which seems to have transformed his ability to play more central. But I didn't see the contribution he made last season coming and I doubt any of the coaching staff did either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please explain why you hate Celtic so much but don't seem to mind Rangers? I am intrigued as frankly I hope both of the vile institutions fall victim to a very localised Nuclear disaster. For a variety of reasons. - as a Motherwell fan, they are the club with the support whom I have suffered most grief from. I find their support, particularly their travelling support far more intimidating and prone to violence than any other in Scotland - as a club, we have lost more players to Celtic than Rangers over the years - it's happening again here. Naturally that annoys me. - I have nothing but contempt for a club who's support regularly sing about the death of a former Motherwell FC player - I hate them for their faux victim mentality, which they shove in everyone's faces with one hand, yet use the other to shove their sense of entitlement and arrogance in everyone's faces. They use this to bully and manipulate everyone in Scottish football and it works for them. They portray themselves as downtrodden victims yet on the other hand smash up away stands, carry out political demonstrations for any left wing cause they decide to hijack for their own attention seeking means. And they get away with it all Celtic FC are the playground bully of Scottish football and they have shat on the club I support time and time again over the years, therefore I will wish no player well who leaves us for them and I don't care if the sale nets us £3M or £10M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
