Celtic fc was pleased to agree a record-breaking fee with Motherwell FC for David Turnbull and we have quickly followed this up with a fantastic offer to the player through his agent.
Currently, we have been unable to come to an agreement with the player’s agent.

CelticFC is content that it has made a magnificent offer and it is now up to the agent and player to decide if the player wants to join Celtic.

If not, we move on.

Agreed kev, he's good but he's not worth breaking the wage structure for.

Steph that's the statement from Celtic.
Good to see them coming out fighting.

Surely he didn’t seriously think he’d walk in here and immediately become one of our top earners? If that’s his attitude then we are better off without him.

I think I sounds like it's his agent LM67, statement seems like it's aimed at letting the player know what's going on to me.

I think that the way Celtic have come out and made a statement straight away tells me his agent is being totally unreasonable to deal with. I wouldn’t imagine we would make a statement if we have made a low ball offer.

There’s two sides to every story. The offer on the table from Celtic could have been very poor.

Ice man he's done next to nothing to warrant a big wage, he's a 19 year old with half a season under his belt, aye he shows promise but so do a lot of young players and it comes to nothing.

Ice man it's been in the wage structure as the club have said.
Do you think he's worth breaking the structure for him?

Bhoys I’m just playing devils advocate. What if the lad is on £900 a week at Motherwell and we have offered him £1000. We don’t know the story. But to answer your question Kev no I wouldn’t break the wage structure for the boy. I’d be happy if he signed but not gutted if he didn’t. My priority would be 2x centre half, Rb and a striker. We’ll see what happens.

I'm guessing the " fantastic offer " is about £3000 a week, about 4 times what he was earning at Motherwell. He will get more down South, but who wants to live in Barnsley, never win a medal and never win a cap.

Who is to say what we offered we might have offered 10,000 a week we will never know.

Is say it would be more than 3 grand for a first team squad member. Id think he's been offered similar to morgan.

Great to see Celtic come out with the statement and tell what's happened.

Scott Allan was signed for £275k and earned £10k a week 4 years ago and football finances have soared again even in that short period.
A £3m fee and you would expect upwards of £15k to be offered certainly £10k plus incentivised bonuses.

Morgan seemingly is on around 6 so if think he was close to that.

Surely the lad needs to realise if he produces the goods that 18 months to 2 years down the line he can get a better contract. That s how it work. No guarantee he is going to be first team starter straight away either.

I think we should never have went for him, as we have a great academy system, surely we have lads at the same level or even better.

Ice man . It would be very unusual for us to go in low on wages . Our excess baggage every season would tend to indicate we pay at the higher range.
