If Hastie does get dropped for the last four games, I'm really going to start questioning her influence on things at Fir Park.

Archie McSquackle Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/david-turnbull.72945/ If anyone fancies a good chuckle, here is how Rangers are going to take David Turnbull from cash strapped Motherwell for between 500k-1M and loan him back to us for two years but they aren't sure if he is better than Greg Docherty.I can't believe I'm saying this, but unusually some of the posters there come across as quite reasonable. Like any football forum though, there's plenty of numpties although they do have that special brand of arrogance that other clubs don't seem to have. I shouldn't be surprised but a good few seem to have the opinion that anyone who supports another club still has a 'Big Team'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil86 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) There are some reasonable posts, unfortunately overshadowed by the utterly ridiculous. I feel sorry for the fan who thinks they have our real prospect. With regards to the arrogance, I can't stand the ' if we want them they will come ' attitude they all have. fortunately for us the one crumb of comfort about Turnbull leaving, when the day comes, is that he is destined for far bigger than the SPFL, old firm included.

Wonder if they'd give us Greg Docherty. 100% on the button with Hastie, we'll settle for a low amount with a sell on I reckon. 1 hour ago, Archie McSquackle said: 4 hours ago, Neil86 said: https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/david-turnbull.72945/ If anyone fancies a good chuckle, here is how Rangers are going to take David Turnbull from cash strapped Motherwell for between 500k-1M and loan him back to us for two years but they aren't sure if he is better than Greg Docherty.

capt_oats Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I'd be surprised if it went to tribunal as well tbh. Is Stewart Robertson still their MD? Either way we've been extremely public about the compensation and consistent with it. The only way it goes to Tribunal is if there's irreconcilable differences in valuations. Aberdeen offering £80k and Accies wanting £900k for Ferguson being a pretty extreme example of that. Scott Mullen mentioned a figure 'over £300k' in a Tweet (that's aged badly) back in February, that was before Rangers were even being mentioned. I'm guessing he'd been briefed by the club on that. The figure of 'around £400k' surfaced after Burrows did his bit with the press last week. It's not like anyone's been blindsided by us being due compensation, we've spent the past 3 months highlighting how much we're due and showing our workings. In terms of comparable Tribunals you're looking at: Charlie Telfer (2015) - £204k - Rangers to Dundee United (11 years, 1 appearance)Lewis Ferguson (2018) - £237,950 - Hamilton Accies to Aberdeen (5 years, 14 appearances) Jake Hastie's looking at 10 years, 17 appearances and 2 u21 caps...so £355k seems roughly commensurate with those. Ferguson's in particular has recency. Ultimately if they're able to be chipping in for Jermaine Defoe's wages then they're able to pony up for our compensation. I agree with @Desp I think a there's every chance a sell on for Hastie will be as much use as the one we have for DT23 but equally I wouldn't be surprised if we were to deal and shave a bit off in exchange for a sell on as an insurance.

Tbf every club forum is a bit like that. Aberdeen fans have been discussing signing Matty Kennedy from us for £100k. Hearts fans were on about signing Jason Kerr for similar in January too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I still don't understand is that if things are set down clearly why could Aberdeen think they could get away with a derisory offer of 80k? I think the main issue was the fact Accies were after ~900k for him after playing around 12 games for them. Completely coincidentally, Accies had kindly donated close to a million to a Nigerian Prince on the phone a few weeks before... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Carton Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's good to see Hastie doing well, he seems to have really benefited from having a run of games at Airdrie last season - I keep a lookout for the loanees that pass through. He could be stunningly inconsistent but showed real potential, either as an out and out wide player or no.10. We don't have enough exciting Scottish players like that. He needs more games though. Going to the Old Firm at this stage in his career is madness (see Watt, Tony for a promising career squandered sitting on the bench). Spend another two years playing week in and week out for Motherwell, iron out the inconsistency and if he's the real deal then go to the English Championship / bottom half of the Premiership ie the Andy Robertson route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
