Stellaboz Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The way I see it is that we've said to Airdrie that we'd actually like to keep MacDonald but they've asked for someone else as a gesture of goodwill. I think this confirms that there's been something happened behind the scenes as you just don't loan out a guy like Turner with no reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrpar Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 There has to be more behind this than has been revealed. On the face of it it is a "you cant be serious" moment. Turner is our best ( only) attacking central midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we should have sent them McCann, Todd or O'Hara. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I must be in the minority but I just don't get the fuss around Turner. Apart from a few games in the early part of this season, he's been pretty much anonymous. He is clearly destined for a move in the summer but so is Murray. Murray plays nearly every week, Turner is loaned to Airdrie. Obviously there's been words said & the player doesn't like what's been said. As usual, once dropped he transforms into Rivelhino in the eyes of some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks. It's not even close to being anything like that utter madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but if he's unhappy and it's causing unrest for the rest of the team it could be a no brainer. Pure speculation mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Am I the only one to see why this is possibly a good decision, we need to keep their loanee defender. Turner needs rehabilitation and match fitness following his injury win/win. Proves himself at Airdrie gets a decent contract renewal. Pretty simple, or am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would’ve thought he’d be someone moving up the way come summer. Been rumours for months Hearts have offered him a deal. We've been linked by some fans for years too. He'll definitely be moving up from Dunfermline this Summer, guess someone at the club has thrown a wee huff about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having any insider knowledge at all... I reckon clubs have approached him in the January window offering a decent payrise plus a move up in a level, obviously Turner would've been very, very, very keen for this, we have rejected it reckoning we'd be better keeping him for a few months, Turner wasn't happy, to what extent he's then taken that unhappiness has then ensured Crawford doesn't want him around the squad. He'll be away in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 You can see why we’ve worked with airdrie to come to a deal so we can keep MacDonald. That seems a rational thing to do given our defensive injuries recently. However Turner going is clearly down to something off-field. It can’t be as simple as him refusing to sign a renewal, that’s something that happens all the time, and something our captain also has done apparently, there must be more too it than that. Had there not been something happening off-field then players like McCann or Todd and o’hara would have went instead, possibly even 2 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
