What else would ya expect from a scouser?
And he'd have to be a striker.
Everyone is aware of the rumours that have been flying around about Turner for some weeks and its about time that an official clarification should be issued so that the long suffering supporters would know one way or another what the actual position is. Personally I hope he settles in with us as he is quality and most exceptional players tend to have a little baggage.
Why would we pay 20k? If there is a problem with the contract I presume he is not your player and any other club could get him for nothing.

Bohs are going bust.
He was one of Longford best players last season according to some of their fans...I do agree he's not good enough for Premier Division though.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
The thing is, as I understand it, he IS our player as he has signed a 2 year contract. How could any club get him for nothing?
Your right. It's only been media speculation that the situation is anyway different. if there was a problem with turners contract he wouldnt be training with us, and from what i've read here he's turning up to train. I dont believe Cook with stand for bringing a player in with some half baked clause in it. pparently he turned down shams before signing for us so why would he want out now. I'm biased but i think the best thing turner could do is to play with us and have a good settled 2 years on the field.

just because he's training dosnt mean hes not interested in leaving.
Granted i was only at maybe 3 matches last season in the Flansiro and maybe i caught him on bad days!!
That's true, but i was coming at it from the point of view that if there were contract issues then he wouldnt even have to train with us. If he's going to training then there probably isnt an issue with the contract. Also, If Cook knew he wanted to leave then he wouldnt have him at training i'm sure.

Having read that Connor has admitted speaking to Turner about the possibility of a move to Galway isnt this a case of "tapping up" a player who is under contract (if of course the contract is valid) and are there any laws in the game against this?

Yes there is and tapping up is a serious offence if proven but remember Turner's famous 'Sean Connor' clause so that probably allows them to talk.
I can't believe the club and Paul Cook would sign a player with this type of clause in his contract did they not read it first before he signed and who wrote it up for him Sean Connor and Turners agent just sounds a bit un real if you ask me. Sounds like Connor has been telling porky pies instead of eating them.
Cheers Redie, My brain is like mush today! Totally forgot about the clause.
They were quite comfortable with the clause because no on believed that any club in it's right mind, would employ Humpty.
I like the nickname Humpty, it reminds me of the time Danny Devito played the Penguin in Batman Returns.
I was told by someone close to the players that McCartney was staying.. if thats the case that he will be signing for ye I will be very disappointed...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
carrickfan the next time you are over in flansiro dont be shy come over to section o and introduce yourself!!
