Going to the Flansiro i mean not the town itself!!!

Heard today that Turner is still our player and there is no clause in his contract. Shams want to sign him and we are looking for 20 k for him but they don't want to stump up the cash. Wether its true or not I don't know but it seems to be comin from a good source so make of it what you like i suppose.

Stall the digger, Alan. If Turner is gone to Shams it's for the same reason that Raf went to Bohs - money. If he was made an offer that we couldn't/wouldn't match, well that's that. Not good riddance though as he is the best midfield player in the country. Mind you, it's odd that he has only been able to show that when playing for Humpty

[Shedzer]

Is Turner gone any word from the club?

[ARooney28]

AFAIK, Turner has a couple of days off. I presume this would go for the whole team. Would explain him "leaving"

Still an awful lot of ifs in this story, but if he is gone, then I'd be inclined to agree with Alan, as it would seem that despite signing a contract with Rovers Turner had little interest in giving 100%. I somehow doubt he was going to starve on what Rovers were paying him.
Best midfielder in the country? Potentially, but if a lad is on the field for you, but constantly wondering how to squeeze out an extra few bob by moving elsewhere, he's not worth the hassle.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I've always thought that the "professional" in the description "professional footballer" should mean a bit more than simply "getting a full-time wage". This kind of messing wouldn't reflect well on him.
Maybe it's all a false alarm, but if he's gone under these circumstances, good riddance, and better to be shot of him now.

[foxfordred]

if hes so good why did bohs pay up his contract and get shot of him

[Rovers1]

IF Turner has signed for those lot, does it mean he owes us back his signing on fee and any wages/ Do Shams owe us compensation?

[Rover'n'out]

Perhaps there are developments today that I am not aware of, but this is getting ridiculous ......... he is training, no he is gone to Shams, will he, wont he. The sooner it is sorted we can move on one way or the other. If he goes then perhaps hopefully we can focus on signing some player who may want to genuinely play for this pretty decent club of ours before it is too late. He is a good player, no doubt about it, but personally I am getting a bit pi**ed off with his attitude.

[Only1Rovers]

...personally I am getting a bit pi**ed off with his attitude.

But we've not heard anything from the player apart from a quote from him (in the Sun a few weeks backl) saying he wants to stay.

[rovers100%]

dont know how true this is but i heard turner is being paid 200 less than contract he agreed. the board are playing up again and not willing to pay the original contract he was offered. also heard cook offered his resignation over it. again all i can say is only a rumour and prob all bull but its what is going around rumour wise..... hopefully is sh1t talk

It is sh1t talk. Do you really believe that the board would let Turner go for 200 yoyo a week - especially if that was what was agreed in contract?.

that 200 yoyo is only his match appearance fee, you can put another 900 yoyo with it which is the contract he signed, anyway he is Shamrock Rvrs bound,can't believe he has a whole thread dedicated to him......
