It is unusual but, again as Slasher said, while it sounds like a teenager who’s just been papped off a burd be fancies, I do think it’s been done too try and ward off likely criticism by the fans of the deal not happening. Celtic feel they have offered fair terms, from other stories it seems the Turnbull side thinks that doesn’t represent terms which would guarantee him as a first choice pick. Which, IMO, is a wee naive. What money you get at Celtic and your transfer fee doesn’t really indicate how likely you are to start. That’s been shown this season alone with Sinclair and Ntcham, about £6-7m worth of fees and probably both near the top of the pay scale, being benched for the likes of Johnston and Henderson at times. If Turnbull, or his agent, thinks that a certain salary equates to a guaranteed start then they are both in the wrong game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I don’t think it’s a monetary thing, certainly not from Turnbull's point of view, probably is from the agent mind you. There’s no guarantee of first team football anywhere, but Celtic are reasonably strong in that area of the park. I suppose if he’s not being offered the going rate for a first team player, it might indicate he’s not considered a first team signing, although as you say they could pay him whatever he wants and still have him in the reserves. Celtic are shit scared of another John McGinn style saga, which Turnbull’s agent will be fully aware of, but I’d say their statement makes it very difficult for him to sign. They’ll look very weak if they back track and offer more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Paul Coutts is available on a free transfer. I reckon he'd be a good signing for some Scottish Premiership clubs. He does turn thirty one next month though, so not "one for the future". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutts seems to think he's got "another three years" left in England before "coming home". As ever, all depends what level he wants to play at our how much money he wants to make.

Toepoke Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) The meltdown from Celtic fans on the Clyde 1 phone in over Turnbull has been hilarious this week:- "He's dead to us now". "He should be sine died by Celtic". "No longer welcome at Celtic Park". "Jesus Christ I'd love to get offered what Celtic were going to give him".

That's 7 at my last count (if Kent comes back which seems to be quite advanced). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
