Michael Turner

[bees 1992]

who else to celtic have a centre backs

 

[Mr Cynical]

think he means Hunt was lucky to get into a prem team

Well Reading have supposedly refused a 4.5M offer for Hunt!!!

Fair play to the lad, great player though he was for us you could never have forseen that one!! It's all been through hard work, something a lot of lower league players could learn from..

Especially when you hear what the likes of Emile Sinclair are saying, always liked Hunty and really pleased for him.

In yesterdays Sun (must be true), "Celtic can forget landing Hull defender Michael Turner for £1m the
Tigers want £2m"

If we do get a percentage of any sell on fee, the more the better.

 

[Hanwell_Bee]

could it be argued that celtic are in the scottish premier league so would still constitute a premiership club.......we could try cant we!

 

[chippendale]

He scored for Hull today. 4 goals this term so far.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

We cream ourselves over Heywood and yet two years ago were signing potential Championship players from Premiership reserves. Heywood wont be sold for £400,000.

 

[Willo]

I always thought he was better than Sodje

 

[Jimbee]

We may have sold him for £400k but that's not what we got for him is it. Unfortunately taking punts on the likes of Turner has a lot to do with why we are in our current position.

 

[GP200]

..........good luck to the man,hopefully will get to show his worth in the Premiershite........................

 

[Holysmit]

He was the only thing he lacks from being a top top player is pace.

 

[sonofabee]

Agreed, and unfortunately the premiership requires athletes nowadays which is why I doubt Michael will ever hold down a regular place in a premiership side.

Now a pre requisite for young defenders to be extremely quick and strong before they are looked at for their ability to defend.

While it probably is a better standard than in days gone by, I would still love to see the type of players like Bobby Moore, who wasn't big and strong, certainly wasn't quick, but had a brain and genius like ability to read the game and remove the ball off forwards feet.

Turner is a similar pace to Ingimarsson, and a similar type of player.

Ingimarsson has become a Premiership regular and I don't doubt Turner will too if Hull go up.

We'll see and I'd argue that Ivar was certainly quicker and physically a bigger build although no proof

 

[bees66]

Turner is a similar pace to Ingimarsson

I'll have to say that no way did he have the same pace as Ivar but Turner reminds me more of Terry Evans pace

 

[Holysmit]

I always thought Ivar was quiet quick personally but maybe my minds playing tricks on me.

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

I always thought Ivar was quiet quick personally but maybe my minds playing tricks on me.

If not a greyhound, I think Ivar was quicker than MT, and his reading of the game helped him out even when facing the quickest of forwards.

Best wishes to Turner and the rest of the Hull team, but if they go up, they'll be challenging any records Derby set this season (as would Bristol City and probably Stoke and Watford)

The team that always seems to hav ethe most problems are the one that is promited via teh play off as they have one less month to prepare.
Hav alook at the current premier and there are plaenty teams in there that have won promotion and have survived a few seasons or more.
Fulham & Bolton likely to join Derby in relagation and they have been in the premier for a number of years now. Before that you can site, the likes of Coventry, Southampton Leicester etc

Few comments from a couple of Hull City fans...

"Brilliant news. Best centre-back in this division and every bit as vital to the team as Fraizer Campbell, if not more."

"Great news. He is so often the solid platform for the rest of the team"

"Turner will be a Premier League player, whether with us or with someone else. May not be next season, but it will happen."

Proud to see one of my favourite bees of recent times seemingly doing very well for himself. "OOOOH Michael Turner"

I'll never forget Col Utd away when he cleared 3 efforts of the line

 

[Matty D]

I don't think Phil Parkinson did either - hence signing him for Hull.

agreed a 3 year deal making him one of the highest paid players at Hull
Celtic planning summer swoop

Dust off that that contract to see whether they class as Premiership then. I bet I know the answer.

Any benefit to BFC from a sell-on windfall is not limited to transfers to Premiership clubs.

That is very good news.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Excellent news - let's all hope that Hull don't go up then. What's the sell-on percentage that we would get?

 

[Hairy]

I can see Hole going up as there on a good run and the others really dont seem to want to go up!

 

[wanderer paul]

Turner to Celtic for £5 million !!! minimum!!

how much would BFC's 'cut' be?......................probably £5k !!!

Well done Mr T, a great player for the Bees (esp Colchester away) and proved some Bees supporters wrong, especially at the first match v Chesterfield when some were saying how slow and how poor his reading of the game was..............clueless, absolutely clueless!!

 

[davido_i]

Not sure I agree on that one Les, I think the potential benefits to us are far greater if Hull do go up this season.
They then get relegated next season, ideally with only Michael Turner standing firm & avoiding even more severe beatings.

He has then had 9 months to showcase his talents to the fat cat audience & is sold still as a Premiership player with 2 years left on his contract.
In this scenario, he will go for a lot, lot more than just today's promising Championship defender

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I remember MT not having the best of ganes at Charlton for us and snooty home fans typing that the hype surrounding him was OTT. I told them on the rivals board not to judge him on that game but they suggested in a "Prem" way that he wasn't good enough for them and he wasn't one that got away.
They knew better, would they want him now?lol

 

[GP200]

.............another good goal...........................

 

[Jimbee]

Any goal against that lot is a great goal.

 

[Salford Bee]

Especially in the last minute

If Turner does go up with Hull - very possible now after beating Watford, is their any finantial benefit to us?

 

[Canadian Bee]

Turner was so immense when he was with us-far better then Sodje.

 

[bees66]

no one would have ever put money on Hull being anywhere near the top off the championship let alone the Premiership... who ever goes up and by the looks off it Bristol City V's Hull final gives Brentford some hope

 

[Edmundo]

There was some extra money if Hull finished in the top six - but I suspect it only applied to the first season.

If he goes for 35 million then you will see a very happy markbfc for the summer.

 

[maddogging]

that sun got to you, I think you mean £5million

 

[rebus]

I meant £5 million.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

What's the deal Mark?

 

[Edmundo]

My recollection of the deal is that the sell-on clause is 15% to Charlton and 15% to us. So if he's sold for £5m, we must be looking at something in the region of £700k.

 

[Hairy]

shame we didnt have a promotion clause

 

[Pixelator]

Excellent performance from Turner in the playoff final, including a match-winning block with 10 minutes left. Got to have increased his market value.

 

[Hairy]

dont think he'll leave now

 

[sabigai]

Well done michael you deserve it,Great to see ex bee in the premiership.

 

[GABS]

Well done michael you deserve it,Great to see ex bee in the premiership.

I find it depressing seeing Mr T and all the other ex Bees in the Prem over the last few seasons

 

[JTofBFC]

Well done michael you deserve it,Great to see ex bee in the premiership.

Well done to Michael Turner and Hull who probably deserve a shot at the Premier League after all this time. (I've just about forgiven them for their lucky 5th round cup win 37 years ago !).

Hull fans all seem to speak very highly of Turner so I expect him to be first choice next season and it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Maybe if Platini brings in the new rule about 4/5/6 home grown players per team one of the big 4/5 might be tempted to take him on and give us a windfall !

One of the good guys who will always be welcome back at Brentford whatever happens.

 

[chippendale]

Listened in on the BBC World Service and they said he played well and his stop with 10 mins left was worth $120 million to the club. They also said he will do really well in the Premiership.
