If there was an issue, surely they'd just pull out.
Its not like buying a scratch and dent fridge.
Sounds like a pisstake trying to negotiate down a fee based on medical (if rumours are to be believed).
Not sure if its been posted earler, but Alan Burrows said on Twitter that there was an issue at Ross Hall and the medical is taking place in Manchester.
A similar issue is preventing us getting a signing over the line.
...Andy P beat me to it
The bidding war stuff is a bit fanciful.
Its not football manager.
Clubs, agents etc will all be in the loop with whats going on and know what the craic is with fees etc.
This has been my thinking for a while.
Bigger aspirations than playing in Scotland.
More wages, but playing the same teams, give or take European qualifiers.
I'm not sure Celtic will win this particular battle either.
Any deal with a sell on % from down south (potentially) adds exponentially more value than what Celtic could put together.
Look at the current Ryan Fraser situation. Looking at £6m for sell-on alone.
Think Turnbull's ambitions may lead him elsewhere also..
