Turnbull not even on the bench for first game. His knee must be worse than first highlighted by Celtic.

Regardless of what is actually happening, either sign him per original agreed terms or don’t. To paraphrase Nike “FFS get it done”

I think most people are worried that a “fee they are happy with” will be less than originally agreed. Which would mean we let them shaft us. We shall just have to wait and see how it pans out. I would say though that I think MFC should be driving this to a close much sooner rather than later.

Agree, no sign of that so far. Let’s hope that’s true tomorrow. I see no reason why it shouldn’t be. I would expect the board’s reaction to be the same as the fans, sorry, OWNERS !

While not agreeing with original decision to sell him to Celtic. I respect the choice made and have no complaints about how the board have handled this as it has dragged on. However, if they do not resolve this by tomorrow then my opinion will change drastically. They best show they have some balls and just tell celtic “full amount, original terms. I’ll give you 1 hour to decide. Any answer other than yes means Motherwell will not be selling Turnbull to Celtic.” Then it’s all over and done with one way or the other but it has to stop and no reason for it not to end tomorrow.

Not assuming that but it’s still a possibility. I’m hoping it kills the deal and that he can stay with us then get a better deal or at worst still leave but get a better deal.

I think this may be one time when everyone on here is in agreement and I hope the board realize the position of the fans. We cannot and should not even entertain any reduced price or change in terms. We need to step up and tell them to complete this deal now or else there is no deal. Not now and not any time in the future.

Negotiations???? It will cost you this much to buy him. Negotiations done. We move on

Looks fine to me anytime I’ve seen him. Make your mind up Celtic. Pay the money or GTF. Would love to have him back playing here, show Celtic what a cripple he is by banging in a few against them and then get even more money for him in January.

So now got the attention of a few clubs ?

Who is shankland and who does he play for?

I thought that’s why we started down this road. Although I think the wording was “a fee” which is possibly different from terms? But you would think it would have been sensible to have terms all agreed prior to them moving onto personal negotiations

Other than that we're fine

What’s king Luis doing?

The owners of the club should implement a business process that states we never sell players to SPFL teams

Of course had he stayed the cash might have been morer hugerer when he did leave but then of course there’s the old “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” philosophy.

Would rather all that cash coming from another source

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.
