    Give him a ten year deal.

    The boy is class! Such a danger from long range, he seems to always find a corner of the goal when shooting from outside the box.

    Vision and passing are top notch.

    What’s everyone’s thoughts?Is he better playing deeper or better in a free role behind a striker?Im not sure.If Howe is manager in waiting,he used to set his team up in a 442 or tweaked it to a 4411,if that’s the way we were set up,would Turnbull play in the 4 or the 1 behind the striker?

    Might get away with him in a 4 in Scotland, but would probably have to drop McGregor and use Soro next to Turnbull, I’d imagine.

    And in Europe, there’s absolutely no way he should be playing that deep. Yes, you need someone deep to get the ball forward with speed and accuracy, rather than just overloading the midfield with ball-winners, but McGregor can do that.

    To me, Turnbull is a no.10 all day long.

    He has to go to the Euros, it would be utterly mental to not have him in the squad.

    Interesting stat.

    More impressive since he didn't play much in the early months as well!

    He's well ahead of anyone in the League.

    Minutes per key pass

    23.5 D.Turnbull
    35.3 R.Christie
    35.4 K.McAllister
    39.4 B.Barisic
    39.9 J.Mullin
    41.6 N.McGinn
    41.6 D.Wotherspoon
    42.7 L.Polworth
    43.0 C.Conway
    44.0 R.Hedges
    44.7 J.Tavernier
    44.9 L.Griffiths
    45.0 R.Kent
    45.5 M. Gardyne

    They're the only people averaging about 2+ per 90 minutes

    He rarely gets 90 mins either. So would be higher if he did.
    Managed properly he will be an absolute star for us.
    Wonder if this is on Strachans laptop,doibt it.

    It absolutely will be. It’s the exact sort of things that are being tracked.

    Showed up well for me..

    Some lovely flicks first half that should've led to something and unlucky with his effort..

    Turned them inside out on more than one occasion..

    Decent first 60 mins. Faded as second half went on.

    One of the very very few positives from a stinking season. Looks as flabbergasted as me at times with decisions from management.

    Get some players with pace and actual intent around him, and this guy’s contribution will be frightening and season-making for us.
