    "Bidding wars" don't exist.

    Teams will accept £xxx, The only bidding wars after that are for the players wages. Clubs have a price. More than one club are able to meet and and negotiate with the player & representatives.

     

     

    Also I still believe he will sign for Celtic.

    You’ve mentioned a few times now Busta that you think he will sign for Celtic....you know something so spill the beans.:P

    comments from Burrows, Wilson, and our friendly journalists about how great a deal this is and how lucky we are, and why we should be grateful,  to be really cringeworthy. 

     

    Huge respect to @Alan_Burrows and @MotherwellFC board on an outstanding deal. Never good to lose our young talent but leadership is about choices and the long term health of our club. This secures a generation of talent to come. Well done!

    Next season instead of squad numbers let's give the players price tags on their backs.  Really show the World that Motherwell's only purpose is to provide footballers with a platform from which they can be sold on to "better" things than Motherwell and wherever they came from previously.

    Let's try and get E-bay to sponsor us to complete the message that our overarching ambition is to be a selling club.

    This. 100%

    Not sure why the rage. Fee amount accepted. Player offered terms. Terms knocked back.  That’s how it works, right. I suppose they arrogantly thought that their offer to the player wouldn’t be turned down. 

    Correct. Not the first time two clubs agree a fee only for the player to knock it back.

    You know me Busta, I've been going since the 80s. I'm more than aware that we need to sell players, every now and again, and that Turnbull was never going to play for us next season. 

    However, I reckon I've just about had enough of watching us sell every decent asset we ever seem to get a hold of, just as quickly as a larger team gets the cheque book out. The selling of Turnbull, to a team in the same league, a team that continually decimates other teams, a team that continually shouts about lack of a domestic challenge, a team that is supported to the neck by absolute wankers, and many from around here.

     

    This isn't just a knee-jerk reaction to Turnbull leaving for Celtic (if indeed that happens), its years and years of the same sort of stuff, and years of watching our pish poor, unequal league. No doubt I'll end up buying my season ticket, but this constant rebuild year on year, is getting on my tits, as is dealing with a Club, who I wouldn't pish on.

    Absolutely !!

    If the deal goes through, I suspect the timing of it will work in the club’s favour. Early bird season tickets have already been completed and there’s a relatively long time before the start of the league season, in which tempers may cool. 

    Mine probably won’t :lol:

    No as far as I’m concerned ,I never renewed mine and the way I’m feeling I won’t be  ,in fact I won’t be back for a while  ... if they ARE selling him tae Celtic . This would also apply if it was Rangers.

    Not wishing to rake up old arguments here Jim but to fast forward on a wee bit .  My point is that although the transfer window isn't even open yet the signings we're making suggest that Robbo is not intending to revert to a 3-5-2 formation but rather is intending to stick with more adventurous and attacking line ups.  Signings such as Gallagher, Sloth, Polworth and now Hylton suggests that we will continue with a more attractive style of football.  Also, Alan Burrows' recent comment that we're looking to acquire more strikers and wingers simply reinforces that view.

    I think we'd all be far happier to stick with a formation that produces more attractive football.  Thats not to say we couldn't field a 3-5-2 formation if we had to.  The signs are looking promising even this early.   

    Absolutely Dave early days but the signs are looking good for next season .

    Indeed. Particularly given Robinson's interview when he made it clear his system will always be dictated by the players he's able to bring in. Wouldn't be astounded to see a return to 352 next season....

    If we go back to the  352 formation they can stick it , football has been great of late but I’m waiting till the transfer window closes before I decide on renewing my season ticket.  I’d rather nail ma baws tae the floor than go along and watch hoofball again.
