One good season with Motherwell and he thinks he is Lionel fucking Messi? Prove you are worth 20k a week. Then you may get it.. Fuck him anyway.. Messi gets paid £500k per week.

No point going to a club where he is not valued. I understand what you are saying mate. How much would the likes of Mikey Johnston, Ryan Christie, Tom Rognic be on a week? I have no probs paying someone 20k a week, but hey pal, this is not Motherwell you are walking into, its Celtic. Big boots to fill kiddo.

Football is a gamble for clubs but evidently Celtic do not want to gamble here and they will miss out just like they did in different circumstances on Andy Robertson.

Me speaking purely from a Scotland supporter's point of view Turnbull going to Celtic would mean one Scotland international midfielder not getting regular first team football. Celtic have Ryan Christie, Callum McGregor, James Forrest and Oliver Burke already there battling for starting spots which they are missing out on. Turnbull moving there would be detriment to at least one potential Scotland international. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sooner he did that at a club where he wasn't keeping fellow Scotland internationals out of the side stinting their development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Apparently Barnsley have agreed a fee of £2 million with Stoke City for Liam Lindsay. Seems more reasonable than the £1 million Brescia were offering. Could be a good move for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I don't think Celtic rate him highly enough to spend 2+million. They could of bought him from Partick thistle for 400k a couple of years ago but never bothered then. Stoke might be a good move as they are usually in the epl and could push next year for promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have been caught for pace in League 1, so that probably explains his low valuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Lots of press linking Turnbull with Sheffield Wednesday over the last 24 hours. Would rather see him go there than Celtic, as every game's a challenge and he's likely to be a starter. Wednesday did well under Bruce the last few months of the season, so are probably dark horses for promotion. Would be great to have another young Scottish midfielder going up to the big league. Only problem with the story is i didn't think the club had anything like 3m to throw around.. but maybe at 19 they figure Turnbull's enough of an investment to be work finding the money from somewhere.

It does seem fairly likely he could be sold on at a big profit if £3 million is the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say he has been caught for pace in the English third division, He looked pretty good in the SPL though, but then it is a totally different style of play we have in Scotland, a bit more like Serie A perhaps. I'm not sure if a £400,00 SPL player being sold by an English third division team for £2.5 million is a drop in value but I guess we will find out if any one in the championship wants to spend much more on any of our central defenders.

I think this also explains why he’s not been in squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the SPL team of the year before his move down south as a 21 year old and helped Thistle to their highest finish since god knows when. He hasn't been dropped by Barnsley in his two seasons there. He's only a year older than our promising and capped youngsters, lets see how many of them get moves to a league that can afford to pay over inflated transfer fees and double the wages of the SPL clubs and the German second tier sides. Not sure a prospective Scotland cap adds much onto a players sell on value. McLeish and Clarke over rate the SPL just as much as Strachan under rated it. Having said all that £2 million probably is peanuts and he will spend half the season on the Stoke bench, so maybe not a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace is not the be all and end all, but it will affect the value of young defenders. Lindsay may yet attract big fees if he can show he has the nous to deal with quick players, and that can come with experience. McKenna, Souttar and Findlay are all quite fast and may well attract biggish fees sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
