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.
Is there an echo on this board?Quote:

Hope this spurs d lads on for the season.The way I see it Raf and Turners exit to "win medals" basically says to their former team mates ye arent good enough to win anything, arent good enough players to win d league so I'm off.
**** them
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 HumptyQuote:

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.Quote:

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

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?.Quote:

I'll be giving him plenty of abuse when he lines out against us for the dirty shams next year and I doubt I'll be on my own.
Jumped up nordie *****.
I do wish that posters on this board would get down off the fence.Quote:

Heard he is gone ! Signed for Shams Saturday.........Mercenary is polite term for this fella Im afraid.Good Riddenance to him!Quote:

A comment or press release from the club would nip any rumours in the bud - by not doing so they are allowing the situation drag on.
id say we will be waiting till sundays forum, if he gone just come out with it. the longer they leave it the worse it will be on the club because they should be keeping their fans updated. hopefully no news is good news. maybe they are not releasing a statement as he is still a rovers player. wishfull thinking from me.....
Got a text froma shams fan yesterday saying he was up but hadnt signed (said if he had isgned he'd know) today got another text saying he was up along with 3 Cork players and signed.Said Turner said he "didnt undertsnad what he was signing with us" figue that whatever way you want.
So lets wait and see.Maybe we will get a definite Sunday.
Is he here is he there, who knows ,anyway we are set up nicely regardless.
Jus keeping ye informedish
Any word on Russell?
I'd say there's a few things Chris doesn't understand.Quote:

Yeah your right there. If Turner has agreed a two year contract then Rovers are entitled to keep him to it unless an agreement is reached with another club or a mutual termination is agreed. There may be a clause in the contract so that he can buy it out, but that should be set quite high anyways.
I'm a bit disappointed by the amount of abuse the lad is getting on here. As far as we know hes our player. If and when he leaves I'll be the first to condemn him, but its a bit uncalled for until then.
Might well be confirmed tomorrow officially that he is Tallaght bound from what Ive heard!
bhs
hopefully he's gone. dont need tossers like him at the club....
Red 4 Eva...do you still have that banner you made for connor? X out the connor part and throw turner in i reckon
like that banner lads.. what game did that make its debut in?
( From Rovers website. They couldn't have lied to us, could they???:rolleyes:)

Sligo Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of Chris Turner on a two-year-contract. Turner joins after a year at Dundalk and previous spells with Partick Thistle, Bohemians and the Bit o' Red.
Turner had a very successful 18-month spell with Rovers between January 2006 and July 2007. The midfielder was recently named in the PFAI team of the year for 2009. He will be unable to play in the FAI Cup final with Sporting Fingal due to being cup-tied.
Far be it for me to question the word of someone who obviously knows everything about the affairs of every club in league but with my very limited knowledge of such matters it is my suspicion that registering a player and signing a contract with a player are two different processes and IF he signed a contract with us last November for two years then he has signed a contract -being registered to play is a another argument.Quote:

When last season finished he signed a contract with Rovers for this year/season and next year/season and we can only assume at that time he was out of contract with Dundalk but anyway make that two clubs for last year/season.
Are you saying that if he now signs for Shams he will be with three clubs in the same year/season?:confused:
