The young lad Turnbull

Saw he got on the scoresheet yesterday. I'll tell you something he's as natural a goalscoring midfielder that I've seen coming through up here in a long time.

Gets into goalscoring positions for fun, very composed in front of goal, clean striker of the ball & not afraid to take a dig from distance. Would love us to add this boy to our squad.

You watch motherwell much ?
 
If Turnbull ends up at the chamber of secrets (having watched what happened to Scott Allan and Greg Taylor) he should add a psychiatrist to his phone book.

He looks a talent but I trust our new recruitment team given their track record thus far.
 
Ask any Motherwell fan mate and they will tell you Hastie wasnt their best player. Turnbull was by some distance and most would argue Campbell was 2nd after that.

That wasn’t what was said at the time , I know several Motherwell fans .

Can’t say I know much about Campbell but I heard they weren’t impressed he was dropped.
 
Folk don’t want Kenny McLean but want Turnbull this place is nuts .
Can put me firmly in that camp. I don't think McLean is a bad player but he's on a similar level to Arfield who has started the season as a regular off the bench. Turnbull on the other hand is the best goal scoring midfielder in the country who is also good at creating chances for others, he isn't just some set piece specialist who had a lucky year. I just think Turnbull's strengths are perfect for what we need in the midfield. There's also the fact that McLean is 28, turning 29 through the season while Turnbull has just turned 21. This isn't a debate over Kenny McLean on a free or spending 2-3 million on Turnbull, they would likely cost a similar fee.

He'd be competing against Hagi, Aribo, Kent and Roofe in our squad.

Not convinced he's close to that level.
 
Jake Hastie has never been Motherwell's best player. He had a few good months after struggling on loan at Alloa.

That’s right he was shite , I must have made up the stink they kicked up because he signed a pre contract with us .
 
We do need a back up for Hagi to keep him on his toes, would I take Turnbull yes I would but not at the stupid money those fucking hammer throwing wanks would want.
 
My mate who’s a Motherwell fan raves about him. Most exciting talent they’ve had in a long while, he truly believes.

Would Motherwell be interested in taking some of our players who aren’t going to get a game for us anyway? Worth asking the question.

My mates been watching them since the early 60s and rates Turnbull as having more potential than the likes of Pettigrew, McCulloch, McFadden etc. at that stage of their careers.

He’s a better player than Aribo,Hagi, McGregor ??
 
I think Campbell is decent but not for a Gerrard team. Not sure about the ‘Golden Boy’ comment either, their fans were up in arms recently when he was dropped.

Think you misunderstand. Robinson fucking loves him. Was saying last night (or maybe the night before cant remember when they played) he wants a team of 11 Allan Campbells after being fed up by the shite served by the likes of Hastie.
 
Aye they rate him highly mate. Turnbull wherever he goes with have a good career if he is over his injury troubles.


Campbell definitely leans our way, whilst Turnbull is a Well fan.

The problem I see with Turnbull for us is he's very much an attacking mid.

We've already got Roofe, Hagi, Aribo and Kent all fighting for those 3 (sometimes 2) positions.

I'd be reluctant to pay big money for someone who won't start.
 
A poor mans Greg Docherty.
Turnbull is about the same level as Greg Docherty.
Utter, utter pish. The Docherty love-in amongst our support confuses the life out of me. Turnbull can play, proved it at a higher level (scoring the amount of goals he did in a poor Motherwell team and in the space of time he did is better than winning a player of the year trophy at Shrewsbury) and at a younger age than Docherty, would be happy with him signing

That’s high praise indeed. If we’re not interested in him, I hope he goes down south.

At 21, to have the stats he has and appearing to be over his major set back with the injury he’s definitely got potential.

I was more thinking he would play with Jack or Kamara in the middle of the park in certain games when 2 defensive minded players arent needed.

Docherty was going to be a superstar and the best young midfielder in Scotland apparently when we signed him so it’s not utter pish .

Campbell works hard and did so again last night. That should be expected of any player but isn’t always delivered, hence players like that tend to get a bit of leeway regardless. Of last night, I think Robinson said that his team were ‘playing with 7 men‘ which is throwing a big chunk of his team under the bus. That was specific to last night I think though. Campbell was dropped for their game at Ross County recently.
 
Aye, we've never signed any dross recently.

See: Grezda, Eros. Sadiq, Umar. Jones, Jordan. Lafferty, Kyle. Ejaria, Ovie.

If he wasn’t a stand out for Motherwell we wouldn’t have signed him ,

Lafferty was a stand out for Hearts , Sadie is now worth 20 million :))

And look how that turned out...

Docherty at Hamilton was a better prospect than Campbell is at Motherwell and Docherty is miles off being a Rangers player now. Anyway, we're going round in circles here - Campbell isn't of the required standard, and I'm pretty sure Gerrard knows that.

He's very much an attacking midfielder mate.

His defensive qualities are minimal.

Gerrard has moved from 4-3-2-1 to 4-2-3-1 against the so called lesser teams, but I don't see him going with another attacking mid at the expense of one of his central/defensive mids.

He likes his team to have control of the midfield, in and out of possession.

If Turnbull came to us, it would definitely be to compete in the attacking mid positions.
