His development fee could be £500K … so that’s him moving on for a fee of £400K … … not for me would rather keep him

Still think a move to the tic is the wrong one for him in the long run

Its his decision but it all about ambition and reaching his goals 

Would you rather be playing in Dingwall or Perth for the 4th time in a season or strutting your stuff at Anfield, Old Trafford, Emirates or Etihad

As I say it’s his decision but if I had his ability I know where I would rather be 

I would much rather he moved to England than Celtic, but I can see the logic in it for him.

He is still a young boy so Celtic would offer him the chance to play with better players in a league he knows while testing himself at Champions/Europa League level giving himself more exposure and the chance to move south as an established first team pick, when he is mature enough to handle being away from home and his family.

If he moved now he is still probaly going to be a development player and have to fight his way into any first team. Every player will back themself to do that but it doesnt always work out for them.

Don’t disagree with anything you say

BUT  he would still be in the goldfish bowl that is the West of Scotland and all the hassle that goes along with that ( unable to go out and about socially without a minder being 2ft behind him )

As I’ve said previously look at the young boy Gilmour at Chelsea ( younger than Turnbull) if your good enough you’ll make it at any club.

A pleasant surprise there.

Good work by the club and player to work something out, credit where it's due to both of them.

Well done both Motherwell and David Turnbull, says a lot about the boy.

[twistandshout1983]

Excellent news

[GazzyB]

That is fucking superb news!!

[ScottW1886]

So maybe the video wasn't all about hooring him to Celtic...

Great news. 

[texanwellfan]

Credit to both MFC and David Turnbull.  Nice we boost ahead of the Aberdeen game !!

Humble pie for some on here.

[Yodo]

Great news well done to everybody at the club fancy he might start on Friday if Polworth isn't fit 

[Ped_MFC]

Second time the boy has signed an extension when others may have opted to let the contract run out and make more cash elsewhere.

Fair play to him, shows a level of loyalty to the club that is rare these days.

[joewarkfanclub]

Today is a good day!

Well done Motherwell.

Thank you David Turnbull.

It wont be forgotten.

This 100%

The video was still all about whoring him to Celtic. This just means we should get closer to the £3.25m offered last summer

Well done everyone! And especially David Turnbull!!! Showing a degree of loyalty sadly missing from 99.9% of todays players

[DunnyMFC]

Time to whore him out for £10M

That would be a shame for all the obvious reasons.

It was at the first St Mirren cup game that I heard he would be back before the end of the month and that he was going to sign the new contract. First one came true so holding out for the second....!

I want to see him at Fir Park for as long as possible. So if he doesn't sign a new one, and the offers are not great I'd be more than happy to watch him run the team for a season rather than cash in.

Edit: I should add. I was very surprised to hear he was even considering signing it. It's only, understandably, in the clubs interest that he signs it.  

I should never have doubted my own source. 

Great news.

 

[real dosser]

I was never of the opinion that we were trying to sell him by making the video. It was done (in my opinion) to keep Well fans up to date with his progress and to show the club and physios in a good light and if you listen to what he says in the video he expresses his feeling of being liked and supported by everybody connected with the club  when he needed support. Hardly saying he was desperate to leave. Well done the club and the player for today's decision.

Proves one thing: on a moral level, he is way too good for Celtic.

[wellowell]

Fantastic news and in this day and age great to see loyalty to a club who have stood by him at his lowest moment . Imo he will be a superstar in the game and has many great years ahead of him , so to protect the team that has nurtured him from boyhood by extending a year ,to put us in the same position we were in before his injury  is a testament to the boy . Well done DT well done MFC and I just hope he and Motherwell can have a great  end to the season .

[Yorkyred]

Best news we have had this season, a win, win for everyone and we are probably going to end up with a bumper transfer fee down the line.

[Kmcalpin]

A great bit of news. Credit to the club and the lad himself. Hopefully now he can concentrate on getting fully match fit and back to his best. 

[CoF]

That's absolutely amazing news. The club deserves huge credit for this, as does Turnbull for showing that loyalty. With just 6 games to go this season to 'prove' himself this, we'd have been heading into the summer in a precarious position - do we take the first half decent offer comes in or do we head into the January window with just 6 months left on his contract. That signature could potentially be worth a few million.
