According to The Star this morning 26.01.07 ' Bohemians have pulled the plug on their move for Chirs Turner - but manager Sean Connor insisted it was not because of the Northern Ireland Under-21 midfielders weekend arrest.
And Connor remained hopeful yesterday that they could yet land the Sligo Rovers man before the close of the transfer window'.

Connor is playing games not going to meet the asking price. This is what he is good at, knows all the bullsh it Turner will get around the town.

When does the irish transfer window close?

**Bravo** · 26/01/2007, 11:28 AM

I think its a UEFA (across Europe) thing & shuts at the end of Jan

Also against Shels in the rearranged game their first goal game from a corner he should of came out and collected. He is the type of keeper that makes your defence nervous actually I would rate Brush better than O Hara as a shot stopper, his reflexes are top class.

ur right about the examples you said there, but a keeper with a run of games behind him would deal with such things easier than a keeper out of first team practice. i'd still disagree with o'hara in terms of crossing but hey that's football and we each have our own opinions.

we've two keeper's in squad now so that's sorted and we need a good few more outfield players at this stage.

connor prob try leave it to the last minute to see if rovers cave. from other posts seems turner is on for going, so seems just a fee to sort. hopefully rovers wont back down but cud be difficult situation if players does want to go. what to do ?

We will have to wait and see. Its results on the Pitch that will show wether Rob is up to it or not. Lots of the players that come to the Northwest are unheard of. You get the best you can for the money you have. Some so called Good Players have come here and been very poor. Just hope Rob isnt panic buying to bring up the numbers.

If that is true, serious questions have to be asked! thats just throwing away money, which in this league, is badly needed by everyone. They should be trying to get as much as possible out of bohs who have been boasting about the large wind fall they are getting.

Better than a professional club run on rumours.

**Rory H** · 27/01/2007, 4:50 PM

it was rumour i heard but it does sound hard to believe....connor saying they cant agree a fee does sort of quash it now though!

**red arrow** · 27/01/2007, 7:28 PM

lets get things clear here. firstly the hasty departure of connors (breaking his contract) the club solicitors are currently going for compensation. turner will not go free
and sign s situation is being investigated.

What are these chaps likely to be on in terms of wages? I assume it would have to be at least €300 a week to be worth going full time. You'd probably pay less for a better player like O'Grady. I don't understand this attitude of full time for full time's sake. A talented player training several times a week part time is going to still be better than an average or poor player training full time.
