What, you mean he's not going to Celtic? Imagine that, ya bunch of presumptuous prematurely perma-raging tits. Season ticket back on again then aye?

Some of our support are absolutely miles out. David Turnbull is a Motherwell fan. He signed an extension with us to ensure the club would benefit from his sale instead of doing a Hastie. Ok

Despite the fact he was going to join Celtic I am genuinely sorry that this has happened to young David Turnbull. It must have been hell for him and his family to suffer such a disappointment and to h

No one has back tracked or broken a commitment or done anything wrong but yet this has apparently pissed them off no end. Isn’t it lovely. 

Exactly. We just followed the standard process for the transfer of contracted players.

A buying club has to agree terms with us on a fee before they are allowed to speak to the player. If they speak to the player before that agreement then they are guilty of tapping up.

Once the transfer fee has been agreed it's then up to the buying club and player to agree on personal terms. If talks fail, then it's no deal.

The only thing that's unusual is that we have a player of sufficient quality to attract multiple suitors. The fact that we are in no rush to sell, and Turnbull is in no rush to leave, just gave us and Turnbull even stronger hands in any negotiation.

What if they loaned Turnbull to Celtic :lol:

There is no way Sellik fans would want him even on loan seeing as he had the bare faced cheek to turn them down.   If he went on loan up here I think we would be only team he would consider.    Let's all just wait till deal all confirmed...COYW

If I was Norwich, I'd be playing him, not loaning him out.

Exactly. It may take him a bit of time to break through to starting eleven, but I think he's got the ability to do it. I also don't think that £3 million is quite as piddling an amount as some up here seem to think. Clubs like Norwich aren't really paying that for a guy who they won't use.

I wouldn’t go reading between the lines with the squad number announcement. Turnbull has a number because he hasn’t officially left yet. Cadden is out of contract, so wouldn’t have a number.

You and your facts.
