[Link] David Turnbull

The first time or the second?

 

It was unprofessional tho..

 

It is to me buddy. I remember us getting the runaround from Mark or Marco Viduka as he was at the time and his people and I thought * off *.....I feel the exact same with this shower too.

The semantics may be slightly different but my feelings when people are at it with my club are what they are.

If he scores a goal' I'll cheer because that's what I do when Celtic score' but he will always be that * * Turnbull to me.

 

Motherwell's David Turnbull is set to sign a four-year Celtic deal after choosing the Scottish champions over Norwich City.

Norwich were favourites to capture the midfielder due to Celtic pulling out as both parties failed to agree terms.

But despite the 19-year-old travelling to Carrow Road on Wednesday, BBC Scotland has learned the Glasgow side have made a new and successful offer.

Both clubs have had fees worth £3.25m accepted by the Fir Park board.

The deal between Celtic and the Motherwell starlet seemed dead in the water on Tuesday, with the treble treble winners stepping back as the Premier League newcomers swooped in.

Prior to that, initial stalled talks prompted Celtic to release a statement, saying they would "move on" if the player would not accept their "magnificent offer".

However, despite having the chance of signing an attractive deal with Norwich this week, Turnbull has decided his footballing future is at Celtic Park.

Last season, the Fir Park academy graduate scored 15 goals in his breakthrough season, netting a third of the Scottish Premiership club's goals.

 

The window has just opened and Turnbull and his agent have explored all their options, rightly or wrongly * us about.

Viduka signed and then went in a huff for months before joining us.

 

I hope not, but sadly you're probably right.

 

Maybe just maybe all along he told celtic he wanted to look at all his options before making a decision and the media especially the rags have blown it out of proportion

If he wanted to be a Celtic player he would've demanded it happen at the very latest after the tweet was out. He knocked us back for a 2nd time, started retweeting Kennedy's tweet, goes down to Norwich then still pulls the strings with us and asks for us to put the deal we allegedly retracted back on the table so he can accept.

Fair enough if it was David Silva we were after not David * Turnbull.

Horrible start to a Celtic career. People will be on his back at the first whiff of a bad performance or attitude after these antics.

 

Probably the case. He must see something he likes as Norwich would pay him more and many players would have that ahead of trophies

 

Is this back on?

If it gets done then it's ultimately a good signing. If he wanted to explore all options then fair enough - not everyone is a Celtic fan. Makes the roasters giving him abuse on social media look worse.

 

Kids gonna need to go some to get the fans all on board if this now goes through.


Absolute joke of a saga this has been.

This agent has been a right bawache too often to us now and I can see him being a * in 12-18 months again.

Either badgering a move because turnbull isn't getting game time, or begging to be top earner or he hands in a transfer request.

See it a mile off.

He obviously rates himself and has a bit about him character wise, which are important traits for a Celtic player and should make him a good acquisition.

 

You are factually correct matey but it doesn't matter to me what level of a * you are, the facts are they were both wanks and I for one don't want Turnbull anywhere near a Celtic Shirt.

If that's his attitude at 19 what kind of monster will we have when he can't get a game, or has half a good season...nah * him.

If there's two players available with equal talent, the one with the right attitude will always do for me.

 

Maybe the structure and size a sniff at European football if he goes to Norwich fight a relegation battle if they fail he stuck with championship football or come back up to a spfk team doing it the other way play for celtic perform play in Europe... He will get a pick of eol teams after him and command a even higher contract

Agree with you, although he might have been offered £20k a week off Norwich. Im sure most English teams work it players wages are doubled when they get promoted and then they are halved when they get relegated, so he'd maybe get £20k a week but it would go back down to £10k when they get relegated which they probably will.

I also think as you said, Norwich would never give him a game in the EPL, they probably want to sign him and loan him to the Championship and maybe use his next season if they are relegated back down.

It could be he just wants a settled team and to play as much as possible, at Celtic he knows he might only get about 15 starts but overall could play 35-40 games with a lot as a sub. At Norwich he'd need to go out on loan and going out on loan can be a gamble, if he struggled to get a game out on loan which could happen he'd probably keep being loaned out and thrown about like a dog toy in the English lower Leagues until he is 21/22 and capable of first team football.

 

Okay

 

He’s certainly need to have a good start
