I think he is mulling over whether to stay for circa 1k every week or join a small time part-time outfit with financial problems for 200 a week plus unlimited Papa Johns pizzas and supermacs.

Would be a shame if he does go. I really think with him in midfield we could go places this season.

At this stage it might be better he does leave.
Hes a very good footballer, but the lad has obviously got issues, this whole clause thing with Connor is a bit strange to put it mildly. Hes not worth the hassle.

As for Galway signing him, thats madness. How much of their budget are these two guys going to eat up.
So much for steadying the ship and living within your means. With a double act of Connor and Turner mayhem is never too far away.

Its not his football ability that I'm questioning.

if he wants to go he can F off. We dont need idiots like him playing for us if this is true

Have we been giving him a wage since his signing was announced?

**Boo_Boy** · 13/01/2010, 2:10 AM

So this ''clause'' is in his CONTRACT. Surely that means Galway need permission to talk with Turner?. Could someone from the club tell us if they were given permission to talk with him?.

This whole ''clause'' deal is beyond weird. I have never heard of anything like it before in my life.

Taken from yesterday's Belfast Telegraph

Shamrock Rovers manager Micheal O'Neill revealed he is still interested in former Northern Ireland under-21 international Chris Turner, who agreed a deal with Sligo Rovers after parting company with Dundalk, but there have been suggestions that financial issues at the Showgrounds could make the midfielder available again.

“He was a player that we spoke to at the end of the season and we were optimistic,” says O'Neill. “If Chris Turner is a free agent he would be a player that we would have a big interest in again.”

Leeson was telling a local journalist down here that a local unnamed businessman (Apparently Pat Mc Donagh of supermacs) has made a significant contribution to the club which will see the club not only satisfy the revenue board for this coming season, where will obtain our PL licence, but also increase the budget for the players coming in this season.

Now, as everyone knows, if there is a bigger mouth than Connor its Leeson, so we will just have to see if it is true or not ? Things though are looking much rosier this week than last week for GUFC and I personally can only hope it is just not some kind of dream/nightmare !
