CSI Fc have just won 6-1 in a friendly, might make them think they don’t need Turnbull.
Any idea why? Injury or wear and tear? The boys only 19 so it doesn't bode well that he is needing a knee op already.Supposedly needs a minor knee op to clean up some loose cartlidge which would rule him out for 6 weeks. Can see this going through

10-12 weeks out with no pre-season and then trying to break into the team. Don’t see this working out well for him. So that’s good.
Given the general standard of the folks making comment on any subject in this country these days he fits perfectly well.It is amazing the amount of no-marks that get a platform to comment on the game up here.
we can but hopeThis situation has happened through the mentally challengeds complete disregard for the proper way things should be done in football. Chelsea have publically made it known they will never deal with the mentally challengeds again, west Brom complaining about the same . Norwich now complaining .
If this was us the press would be trying to get us sanctioned for bringing Scottish football into disrepute.
The boy Turnbull I've no bad feelings for his agent should have deleted the filths phone number after the immature tweets they posted. Hope Turnbull find a club down south and has a good career.
Posts saying we should sign him to piss them off ,he's not good enough ,we have better .
Makes me wonder if the filth ever had any intention of signing him or was it a crisis management call to get the groan brigade of their backs after our apparent success in the transfer market to date.
They are in huge turmoil and I think the cork will very very soon be out the bottle with What's happening in the knew dome.
Btw McGregor wants out of the cesspit asap him and popcorn teeth don't even acknowledge each other and Lennon has had to get rid of the sports scientist and nutrition guy not because he doesn't need them it's because he has been told to make drastic cuts for whatever reason.
That and McGregor situation is Fact
Mushroom cloud over the knew dome imminent
I like MF and Jason’s stuff in particular, but those guys aren’t professionals. Their metrics are interesting but a lot of them are new and lack data. Statsbomb are a more established and professional company.https://www.modernfitba.com/blogs/2019/6/12/xw9d633xku355aocbm34s17kxie0pa

This blog is pretty good for going over and breaking down what the advanced stats mean. It’s also fairly impartial. If anything often seems to have a soft spot for us, possibly because several of our players lend themselves to advanced stats.
Confirms that the goals are utterly unsustainable but is very impressed by the rest of his play.
Personally, I’m not at all convinced by some of the stats and they can miss a lot. Watching our games against Motherwell, he didn’t stand out at all and that means more to me than these analytics. I think he’s been bought purely because of the goals and this is very mistaken.
But it’s not true to say that his advanced stats are bad. They are very good. I’m just not sure that they are the be all and end all.
There is some hysterical pish in this thread I’m afraid, McGregor doesn’t speak to Lennon, they are firing all sorts of analysts and nutritionists and all the rest, they are cost cutting, the players don’t like Lennon, they are skint, it’s all about to implode etc.
Yet they are about to splash over 3 million on a player, they are bidding for another at 7 million?
See if folk are making up shite rumours about Celtic, who cares, they’ve been doing it to us for years.
lescott didn't fail the medical, he passed it ,and then demanded another 5 grand a week to sign,he was then promptly told to do one

No he didn’t.
I'm with youSee if folk are making up shite rumours about Celtic, who cares, they’ve been doing it to us for years.
Are you saying they will spend 20-30m net on 5 or 6 players Jimmy ?
This to me is about dropping their wage bill & securing a profit on the basis of missing out on the CL Group Stages mate.
I might be wrong, but this is my take.
I hope they sign Titbull. It’ll take a chunk out of their budget
They are reneging on the £3m bid for Turnbull, otherwise the deal would have already been done.There is some hysterical pish in this thread I’m afraid, McGregor doesn’t speak to Lennon, they are firing all sorts of analysts and nutritionists and all the rest, they are cost cutting, the players don’t like Lennon, they are skint, it’s all about to implode etc.

I doubt they will spend that, I’m sure they will bring in maybe 4 players though, will spend a fair bit of cash.
Haha, against the Austrian equivalent of yoker athletic! Hopefully though aye, racking up the goals against amateur teams may indeed delude them into thinking that they don't need to strengthen.CSI Fc have just won 6-1 in a friendly, might make them think they don’t need Turnbull.
Agreed, I’m optimistic things will turn very sour over there this season but based on what we know in reality. There’s enough to laugh at them for that we don’t have to make things nice up on top of it.There is some hysterical pish in this thread I’m afraid, McGregor doesn’t speak to Lennon, they are firing all sorts of analysts and nutritionists and all the rest, they are cost cutting, the players don’t like Lennon, they are skint, it’s all about to implode etc.

It would appear Rodgers was dragging them kicking and screaming into modern football.
Now it's slipping backwards.
They'll be back molesting youth players before you know it.
How do you know it’s not fact?This is true, but folk on here are posting it as fact, despite the fact it is anything but
Regardless of what the Villa Chairman said at the time, after Lescott signed for AEK Athens “The 34-year-old defender suffered a detached cartilage in his knee while cycling in his apartment. The injury ruled Lescott out for the remainder of the season.”
Personally I can’t help but think he failed medical given how things turned out at AEK.
A 19 year olds knees surely shouldn’t need tidying up
I hope they sign Titbull. It’ll take a chunk out of their budget
They're really useful predictive tools. In America, you will notice that a lot of the fantasy sports community are also heavily into analytics because they're so predictive.
3 million pound for a guy with only a few games under his belt.FFS he was a definite prospect we should be buying 4 weeks ago. Grow up
Listen childbear name calling like that best left for playground.3 million pound for a guy with only a few games under his belt.
Grow up indeed.

Irony alert.Listen childbear name calling like that best left for playground.

It is clear Lennon has poor man-management skills; the West Brom outburst , plus the hasty departure of Weah shows that Lennon has not matured or mellowed or whatever other false claims he has made about being a changed man; you only need ask Lee Dempster.
As for their splashing some cash, Lawwell will be jumping off the Kingston Bridge if he doesn’t move on Tierney, Ntcham or McGregor (or all three).
Part of the equation is to keep an eye on our rivals though no?13 pages talking about a potential deal for them. Jesus.
As others have said, can we not just concentrate on ourselves? For all we improved last season and we laughed at their loss of Rodgers and employment of Lennon, they still won another treble and finished 12 points ahead of us.
Lennon or no Lennon, we’ve got some catching up to do again this season.
All the ‘this is our year’ chat just sets us up for failure again if we don’t deliver. Let’s just get our business done, focus on ourselves and take it game by game. If we do that and we keep picking up 3 points, there will be plenty of time to laugh at these cunts thereafter.

I was on the runway at Manchester airport craping my pants as it was first time on a plane and the wife and myself were flying to Orlando. Had an English Sun to read acting the big man all relaxed (was I fook) 3rd page from back on sports pages a small paragraph stating Maurice Johnson would sign with Glasgow Rangers later this week. Told the mrs look at these silly English press clowns can’t even get Scottish team signings correct. The date was Monday July 6th 1989. Phoned home on the Thursday and my dad said you,ll never guess who we have signed? Told him who it was, he asked how the fek I knew? Told him it was headline news on all the Yankee news stations and they said all hell had broke lose in Scotland
They finished 9 points ahead.

Whilst they continue to downsize, balls up transfers and generally fall from grace, Rangers fans are entitled to enjoy a wry smile.
I really don’t think many Rangers fans are unaware of the challenge ahead.
I think it all hinges on them getting CL qualification and the £35m that comes with it. Failure to do so, they need to sell to balance the books.
FFS he was a definite prospect we should be buying 4 weeks ago. Grow up
Timfool, will play a handfull of games for Celtic, spend 2 seasons on the bench then find himself on loan to a bottom half Championship team, before returning north to sign for Hibs, "career" over, the end.Listen childbear name calling like that best left for playground.
Lennon's "people" played a blinder with that one.
By all accounts he completely lost his shit (and not for the first time).
The guy is a complete liability, regardless of the bum-rubbing he gets off the local media.
I can't believe you just bumped it back up again with your post.I can’t believe this thread is still going and also on top of the page .
