Tell that to your missus in the event that you lose your job. Even better, tell it to your mortgage provider when they foreclose on your house.
Here's another newsflash, say hypothetically that Celtic matched or even bettered the offer, all that happens then is that the cash rich club with bulging pockets just offer more.
It's apparent the boy is more interested in pots of gold than silver trophies, so where does it stop?
These boys should be walking over broken glass to pull on Hoops, not getting their arse bent oot o' shape for a few dollars more.
If it takes £20k a week to buy potential then that's what we have to pay,what's the consequences if we don't get the players we want because we won't pay the wages? i know every business has a wage structure but to be successful you have to take risks.
Celtic can afford £20k a week if they think a player is worth it no problem, my point is they won't pay it because they don't have the ambition that the supporters have.
Last season we got the treble treble,but the league was just a wee bit closer than it should have been, this coming season if we don't recruit properly and get the right players in it might be even closer.
Fuck money in the bank, get it spent and win ten in a row and without risking our future, reasonable success in Europe provides a massive income on its own, so why not speculate to accumulate?

thats not taking risks thats destabilising entire club for a nugget who wants money
We can get better value than Turnbull for those wages and transfer
the wee boy doesn't even get close to first tea in 10 in a row side
he doesn't even make sevco better team never mind the treble treble champions
Club will buy players to strengthen
Buying potential at over the odds destroys the value he adds and possible ever will add
Money in bank is only useful if you transform it into quality additions on park.
The boy Turnbull didn't even push Motherwell to top six
I rate Liam Henderson and his wee brother much more then turnbull
And Turnbull must be more into money than development
mulumb miles better than Turnbull and he aint good enough
that money we have in bank must be used to buy first team players we have enough projects waiting for an opening already.

I remember the boom n bust era of a certain club the banking systems etc.... thank fuck Lawwells at the helm than somebody saying fuck it spend the lot.
People that advocate how Celtic spends its dosh should put their money where their mouth is, sell up everything they own and spank it on a horse then give winnings? Ano! To the Celtic Cause. Show us how to make risk advantageous or fuck off

Aw come on fella........20 grand a week to buy potential?
I doubt there were many art enthusiasts rushing to buy a Van Gogh in the hope that he might cut his lug off and become a visionary.
If there were assurances and guarantees, then fine, but no insurance company is going to give full coverage on a player who's played half-a-season.
At least with a known quantity with some level of pedigree, then even in the worst case scenario where he gets maimed, Celtic still wipe their faces on the insurance.
It's still a risk, but it's a quantifiable risk.
Turnbull is a shot-to-nothing at the moment. He's played the majority of his games against teams in the bottom half of the SPFL and there is no way to measure his quality unless he was playing regularly in our first team.
20 grand for potential? Do we offer the young boy Morrison that much now to stop him from going to Bayern Munich?
Get a handle on it, Timbo
In my opinion any young footballer that doesn't go and play for the team that pays the best wages is a fool.
it's too short of a career not to secure your future, playing for the Jersey doesn't happen now it's only playing for money that counts.
medals, cups, caps, nothing else matters only money, that's the reality of football, ask most ex pro's who are skint if they'd rather play for the Jersey or money, and the ones who aren't skint just ask them what they played for?

Then by that analysis you must be advocating that the majority of our first-team just jog on to pastures new, as they can be paid more by other clubs.
That's the type of attitude that will kill the game stone dead. Not one boy or girl who ever kicked a ball, done it with the intent of ever making money.
Those ex-players never played in an environment where the wage divide was as vast as it is now, so that argument is a false proposition in the first instance. Every ex-pro had to find a career after the game. The modern player, if they are prudent (that's a singular variant on that word prudence) can live comfortably beyond the duration of their playing career. Modern players also pay super-annuation and footballing pension plans are unmatched in any other sector.
You support a team of fools by your own description, Timbo.

Aye sound like a good Celtic fan
Should Tierney Calmac and Forrest all go where they could easily get 80k before bonuses
coz they quite clearly are better than some who get those wages and they could easily get it
Its all about the money
Gimme the money
Fitba honour virtue, love of the game, family all mean nothing
money makes it all wothwhile
Who cares if you waste value
Money
There is a club in Glasgow who likes that system
cloaked finance and criminals right through its spine
They are called Sevco and they wear the rainjurs tap that cost them a quid

If you wanna pay 20 grand a week for Turnbull on the basis that Norwich can afford it,you're aff yir fukn heid.norwich will get for one season in the premiership what it'll take us years to accumulate. Obviously you don't have a fkn clue about finances. We're all critical of lawell at times and rightly so but nobody in their right mind thinks we should be paying 20 grand a week for him ffs.
Tet, it's not particularly the Turnbull situation I'm on about its the mindset of our board, they just don't see the views from the supporters, does the average punter really care if Turnbull was getting 10k or 20k per week? wether or not he was good enough for the first team or even if he was the next Messi was irrelevant, your average supporter just wanted him signed but big Peter wasn't paying above what he thinks was a "magnificent offer"
Was that the same magnificent offer he offered to John mcginn? You keep saying stay within budget or words to that effect and i get that, but paying over the odds for something is done in business every day sometimes it's what you have to do.
If that mindset continues then the standard of footballer we've got just now is as good as it's going to be for the foreseeable future, but that might still be good enough to get to ten in a row, but i don't think we'll see us in the champions league last 16 again until Lawwell goes (just my opinion)
