Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

The main issue is that Celtic won't generate the type of sell-on that an English club would have, so I would argue that we've blown the "transformational" part


This is it in a nutshell.

Armstrong, Wanayama, VVD all went for c. £8m-12m. A sell on of 15% from Celtic might see us get £1.5m extra if he ends up as the top player in the league.

A good season with a decent championship club down south and that sell on could be doubled. Fingers crossed this is just to flush out the interest from others.

The overall package isn't going to get a great deal better for Motherwell, but willingly flogging him to Celtic is a shite decision from the club and I can only hope that this sparks other sides into action. Of course, Turnbull himself could have his heart set on Celtic, but that would be a really, really poor move for him to make for a multitude of reasons. 

For the sake of £3m and the inconsiderable wage he would command, you'd imagine that a host of clubs down south would be willing to take a shot on Turnbull rather than some of the duds they regularly splash crazy money on. John McGinn is Villa's PotY, cost a similar amount and was far less of a prospect than Turnbull is, ffs, and arguably operating at a pretty similar level.

Fucking mugs.

Best young Scottish midfielder to break through in absolute decades.

Accept less than Celtic paid for that Koussi character they signed from Russia.

You've been robbed, and sticking a price tag on his head last week was a huge mistake.

I for one am already looking forward to hearing how Celtic, having signed another of the league's best players from a club in their own division, aren't challenged enough domestically after they crash out in the qualifying rounds to the Bosnian league's runners up.
