So the first instance of an agent putting a player before there needs admiral. Well done that.?The lad was misled by his agent. He is not even in Scotland apparently. Let's not rush to petulance. I sense an element of "How dare he turn down an offer to play for the mighty Celtic." A typical 19 year old tends to be somewhat hedonistic and self obsessed. Hearing that Celtic are prepared to spend $3,000,000 for your services can inflate the ego of a young Scots lad who might be infatuated by the smooth talking glibness of his agent. Simmer down. Do not choose to feel offended because it is a choice. He has been told that a better offer will soon come along from England. It either will or it will not. If it does he will head South believing that his agent was correct. With every passing day without an offer he faces the prospect of another 6 months or more at Fir Park. Motherwell do not want him. They have already planned a future without him and with all their debts paid off. Peter Lawwell should not resubmit the same wage offer. He should resubmit 90% of the wage offer. (not any less for that would petulance) That would send a clear message of strength. I reckon the chance he will sign for Celtic is still 50/50 so lay off the harsh critical comments. He could still sign and any player who wears the jersey deserves our full support. (I remember applauding Alfie Conn who I jeered in Blue but cheered in Green)
Think of a football agent as a real estate agent in reverse. Real estate agents (at least in NZ) work for the vendor and only get a cut on a sale. Vendors want top price but agents want a sale at any price. Some do not work in the best interest of the vendors only themselves.So the first instance of an agent putting a player before there needs admiral. Well done that.?
Sorry that's my point,agents always never lose...never. Good luck whatever they decide but you Can't get better on your CV..than CELTIC F.C.!Think of a football agent as a real estate agent in reverse.

Football agents however want top price but players want to play at any price.

On to 9..10 and beyond....☘☘☘he got the offer it was refused,good luck to him,he does'nt want to play for us,we move on!
it's still the players decision,agent's represent the player, not the other way round,if his career rises or falls due to an agent's advice,his problem,what the phuq are his parent's saying to him!Think of a football agent as a real estate agent in reverse.

thank phuq! DILLGAF,mountain out of a feckin molehill! david who,move on!I've already heard far too much about this kid Turnbull
It's droning on, like the Tories & their Brexit
Move on, there's players out there who would give their right arm to sign for Celtic, however, having only one arm, might be detrimental to their playing prowess and aerodynamics
Personal opinion, too much hassle
We move on

I take your point, Doc, but I tend to think of legal representation when considering these matters.Think of a football agent as a real estate agent in reverse.

Jeez S.P,ah wiz jist aboot tae say that!!!!!! geeza phuqin Stella, hic, jist sayin....I take your point, Doc, but I tend to think of legal representation when considering these matters.
Regardless of the Brief's brief, they must always be instructed by their client whilst undertaking their duties.
The only time that this rule can be overridden, is when that instruction would interfere with the law or justice.
The young lad's representatives would have sat down with their client and discussed the client's want prior to taking any course of action on his behalf.
Therefore - it's safe to assume that the offer made by Celtic failed to meet their client's expectation or explicit instruction and hence we have this current set of circumstances.
It would not be the first time that Celtic have been used as a stalking horse and it certainly won't be the last; however - if Celtic have made a reasonable offer which has been declined - then the club cannot afford to look weak, unless it is for a player of time-assured quality who would be a vital component in the first XI.
There are instances in South America where agents part-own their clients, that puts a very different slant on the earlier comparison; however - this doesn't appear to be the case in this instance and I don't think that this practice is approved in Europe.
Rather than simply moving on, I would hope that Celtic set the young man and his reps a deadline by which to make a decision. If this deadline has passed, then Celtic must prioritise elsewhere.
