We're looking to loan out most of our development players due to the uncertainty over how much playing time these lads are going to get due to Covid.

Is there a limit on how many can be loaned by Celtic in the top league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is or at least there was but I'm sure I saw something about the rules being relaxed? Anyway it makes sense to get these kids out playing regular football somewhere.

sbcmfc Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It’s a shame the other clubs will end up giving Celtic’s development players game time rather than their own. Not really Celtic’s fault if they have all the best young players I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Celtic just go around buying all the best young talent in the league then loan them out to other clubs so that they can't play against ......eh......Celtic. Seems like a plan.

slasher Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I can't think of too many we've bought from Scottish clubs who've made any impact at Celtic recently. Maybe Stuart Armstrong was the last? We've lost out on a fair few down the years as well if you think about it. Robertson, McGinn and Snodgrass spring to mind. Anyway for what it's worth I think Turnbull has every chance and will do fine for us 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) More pathetic business from Motherwell. We should actively have been touting him to English clubs. I can only assume he didn't want to leave home. £15 M for Kent ffs. I'd rather have Turnbull any day.

Turnbull is probably the most gifted player I’ve seen in a Motherwell shirt. On a level with only Cooper and McFadden, he really is that good.

That's a bit of an urban myth perpetuated by fans of other clubs. The only signing I can truly say baffles me in every aspect and could qualify on that count would be Scott Allan. Any of the countless others you could name haven't been good enough or worse total wasters like Riordan or Slane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Paul Slane not the one who was given money by Celtic to go and have an operation on his injury by a top continental surgeon .... But instead pissed off to Amsterdam where he filmed himself coked off his head whilst shagging a hooker ? Lovely boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it shows Celtic hoover up their opponents best players, weakening them, but with no real intention of putting them in their first team, so stifling the competition. Id say Taylor is in the team by default. Although he’s taking his chance it seems... Edited August 25, 2020 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say Taylor is in the team by default. Although he’s taking his chance it seems... It's a nice theory and one I've seen pushed on here before. I've known a few people that have worked at the club over the years and it's just not something that happens imo. A better argument would be as @Och Aye posted for Motherwell to have used their considerable marketing talent to hype the boy up to the English market. Aberdeen almost successfully managed this with McKenna a couple of years ago until they spectacularly overplayed their hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen almost successfully managed this with McKenna a couple of years ago until they spectacularly overplayed their hand. Agree with that. If Kent is worth whatever they are saying this week, perhaps we could’ve got more. I know Turnbull (despite not being a fan) was pretty keen on the Celtic move for whatever reason and the club owe it to him not to hold him back given he’s signed new contracts to ensure we get a fee when he goes. I don’t know exactly how they come up with an acceptable fee, but I suppose the value of his existing contract would be a factor, hence why bigger clubs command bigger fees for players that are not necessarily any better. (Provides they have 18 months plus on their contract). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Paul Slane is entertaining to a point on the podcast, but he is definitely a child who has never grown up, Im sure a shrink would love him. He cant escape the Amsterdam debacle, even though it was 7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
