Well this is a shitty start to the weekend

Maybe MFC should turn around and say. “We’ve changed our mind. He’s not for sale anymore “. Now that could initiate a bidding war although highly unlikely.

The media’s track record on this one has not been very good.

Is all of this based on Turnbull committing to Celtic or initiated by newspaper talk?

Our new bonus system should be “we are paying you to play football and win games. If you get beat we will deduct an appropriate amount from your wages”.

Thanks for the update weeyin. You think I would have learned by now.

Was expecting/hoping to see some sort of update today

No one has back tracked or broken a commitment or done anything wrong but yet this has apparently pissed them off no end. Isn’t it lovely.

Actually all they done was say something along the lines of “ a fee has been agreed with Celtic for the POTENTIAL sale of David Turnbull”. After that they have said nothing ...... and by doing that as you mention they have played a blinder. Sometimes it’s about what you don’t say. COYW and David Turnbull !!

Of course he still has to actually sign for them or has been confirmed already Gazzy?

So the answer is not yet then. If i had seen an answer I wouldn’t have asked so many times

So it’s confirmed now??

I believe it was St John. I can recall being in the stand watching willie Hunter play

Any official announcement from anyone at all?

So still in limbo I assume?

Have you been talking to his pals?

Agree but it could be awkward if MFC want him to go to club A but he wants to go to club B. I wonder if there was anything in the contract he signed that makes it his decision who to go to or is it as you say, the clubs call on where they want him to go? Not really knowing, I’m guessing that maybe Turnbull gets to sign for the club of his choosing as long as they meet some minimum amount? Which may be less than 3M?

And so joe from 30 years ago is so concerned that he suddenly turns up to offer advice and apparently knows that Turnbull wasn’t involved in the decision. WTF!! I’m assuming this is another piece of wonderful Scottish journalism pandering to the old firm??

Not sure how many were expecting a bidding war. I was assuming it would be a club that offered MFC what they were prepared to accept and that Turnbull accepted the personal terms. We now know that we will accept 3M (or perhaps less depending on other terms) so its pretty much all down to Turnbull, assuming of course there is another club that will meet MFC requirements. As someone asked previously though, what happens if some club bids, say 1M and no sell on clause but a great personal offer to Turnbull?

How do you know this?

While this has been entertaining (well, since he knocked back celtic) I’m hoping it can get wrapped up soon one way or another.

Nah! That’s too good to be true

I guess that could be allowed in any thread !

I think Johnstone started the rumor. FFS first McRae now Turnbull

Perhaps a move to Sheffield, or another championship team, would be a good stepping stone in his career advancement ? Plus give MFC a chance at decent sell on fee percentage.
