Looks like a better offer than the Celtic 2.8m plus add ons.

Maybe not a bidding war but definitely a skirmish.

Confirmed by multiple sources including the BBC and herald. "Significant" sell on also mentioned

[Richie]

Where are you?

Let's be having you.

[FirParkCornerExile]

if true our club owes a huge debt to David Turnbull he signed a 3 year contract when he didn't need to but basically to ensure the club was taken care of 

[grizzlyg]

It's confirmed on BBC Norwich by Alan Partridge...AHHHH HAAAAAAA

[postiejim]

Cheers, was only following this so missed that announcement 

[stv]

Got us £3.2 million minimum AND tells Selik to fek off ya cheapskate barstewards. Then gets them to put out a magnificently embarassing statement and their team captain begs him to sign .   The answer is still no thanks .   Three statues at least and a named stand please.

[weeyin]

Remember that the club accepting an offer just means that Norwich have the right to sign him if personal terms are agreed. It doesn't make it a done deal.

You'd have to think joining a "smaller" EPL team, however, would be an ideal move for him. 

(You'd also have to think that maybe his agent knew there was another offer brewing and intentionally stalled the Celtic negotiations. But that might be the cynic in me).

Both from Motherwell supporting journalists I think so likely to be reasonably well informed.

Absolutely delighted for the player and club. As much as I detest agents, kudos to him for doing his job well. He’s also got us almost £1/2m more than what Celtic were giving us,  and I’d imagine £5k a week more for his client. I have no doubt we have a good sell on agreed as well so the boy has done an incredible turn for the team he supports.

The nonsense spouted from the likes of brown this week about trophies etc made me want him to move down south even more...treble treble, 10’in a row...... boring average league with a bang average Celtic being the best of a bad bunch. Clearly Brown believed he wasn’t good enough to go down south to play and win trophies there. Turnbull by moving there has shown more ambition and more desire to improve than Brown ever has.

I’ll look forward to seeing him progress with a team other than one of the ugly sisters.

[Richie]

Away at Anfield for his first game

Fri night as well.

With the crazy money down there the sell on could be worth more than the initial fee.

Gives me a reason to look out for English scores now.

McCarthy went to Everton for £13 million in 2013. If Turnbull progresses at his current rate, he must be worth that.

(Not counting any chickens yet, though, until Delia puts him on a tractor for public display).

[Hope Springs]

I am pleased that Norwich exceeded Celtic’s bid and, if David agrees terms with them it puts him in a better position to move on to a bigger EPL club given the coverage they get. Better development through playing better teams than Celtic ever will, better chance of a bigger move and thereby a bigger sell on cut for us and (maybe importantly) a metaphorical punch on the nose to Celtic who systematically have bullied other Scottish teams in so many ways and arrogantly tried to use a supine and submissive Scottish media to twist David’s arm when clearly Celtic , A’s is their won’t, failed to show enough respect to Motherwell and in particular a young man with a very big future that most football minded (but not Celtic minded) people could easily recognise. 

[Busta Nut]

Where is this info the Norwich offered more than Celtic? (to Motherwell) All I am seeing is they offered the same.

[robsterwood]

Why would  bid be more if club accepted bid already? Think maybe club could have got more as its so early in widow.

All the best David.

Hope you got a magnificent offer and we all move on.

[Suprawell]

Woke up in the night to see this and still think I'm dreaming!  GIRU the puddle drinkers.  Fingers crossed this goes through.  Jackanackanory!!!

And the English transfer market has escalated considerably since then. Any young British player who has one good season in the premier league and is sought after by a top 6 team is likely to be valued at a minimum of £30m, probably more (Longstaff, Rice, Wan Bissaka and Maddison current examples). 

Norwich appear to have a very good infrastructure and ethos for developing young talent. This has lead to their sporting director being courted by Man United. They are obviously a bit of a yo-yo club but with an exciting brand of attacking football on display last season, it looks like a good fit for David should he opt to accept their offer.
