The story behind David Turnbull’s meteoric rise

Whatever happened to players who have just broke into the first team hanging around for more than a year before seeking their fortune? Different times I know, however, players like Brian McClair, Tom Void, Phil O’Donnell etc at least gave us a few years before jumping ship. These days they are barely out of nappies before Celtic come calling. We never seem to get to enjoy these once in a lifetime players anymore unless they are scoring against us.

Where’s Dortmund when you need them?

Always good to prepare for what the future may bring.

You also have to wonder what the young players coming through the ranks at Celtic are thinking about the Turnbull situation, especially if they play in his position. A few may be disgruntled that Celtic are looking to other clubs rather than bringing through players from their own academy.

Unlike Hastie who has already faded into obscurity at Glasgow Rangers.

That’s the only certain thing in this saga.

All over bar the shouting...

What’s the famous film quote from the 60s film Psycho? “A bhoy's best friend is his Mother-well”. They must love the player conveyor belt at Motherwell. Line them up we are coming to get them.

Yes that’s one ‘WHAT IF?’ ad you won’t be seeing on our official media.

WHAT IF... WE SOLD YOU EARLY BIRD TICKETS, THEN SOLD OUR BEST PLAYER TO CELTIC?

We appear to be a training academy for Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.

It will be an undisclosed fee that will be lucky to reach half of that

Fee agreed with Celtic.

I would imagine that our first Hall of Fame inductees will be bonafide club legends that no one will have an issue about. I don’t envisage that controversial former players like Mr Boyd will be on the inaugural list.

Admiral ad

I’d vote for him in that category. He’s a grade ‘A’ wanker who has zero respect for the club that gave him the stage to perform. He’s not fit to grace a Motherwell hall of fame. In fact we should tell him that he’s being inducted but send him the wrong date and venue. I’ve renamed him ‘Tom Void’ as he’s nonexistent to me.

It’s got to be £3M cash in an unmarked brown paper bag or he’s going nowhere.

Ian St John should definitely be in there.

Aye, he’s no a great time keeper. I suspect it’s the main sponsor that is holding the release up as the kits are ready.

I have a good idea on what one of the designs will be and one of those collars would kind of suit. Although, I’m not a big fan of the fussy collars on some of the Macron shirts. Also... From Twitter

We should just be blunt and say to any potential buyers that they can have him now if they pay £4M in one instalment. No negotiation, £4M or he stays put. £4M is loose change down the back of the sofa to English premiership sides. They are buying potential and at £4M he is a bargain. Look at Robertson at Liverpool, how much did Dundee United get for him?

Macron at their very worst. My one complaint with them is that they always try and over complicate their designs, there is no need for it.

Not fit to grace the hallowed community based shirt. I wish we could afford to go down the ‘Save the Children’ charity route like Hearts but no doubt finances dictate our choice. Money laundering it is then.
