I picked him for my dream team because I was certain he would go to a Top Six side.
I hope he ends up at Aston Villa or Liverpool.

Titus Bramble is like sh*t off a shovel but I know who I'd rather have in my back 4.

His reading of the game allows his lack of pace to pretty well go unnoticed. As Jimbee says being quick doesn't make you good.

Ingimarsson was never that fleet footed but excellent positional awareness :yes:

i bet he won;t be leaving after the Hull defence let in 9 goals recently!

even £5 mill will do!

£750k, or there abouts, will tide us over the summer! I doubt if AS will see any this side of June 09!

Another good performance last night against Villa and made a great run to have a shot on goal (well nearly on goal!!)
Come on City get your money out early in the window so that we know where we stand

Didn't we increase the %age of the sell on fee that Charlton get to reduce the asking price they wanted when we signed him?

30% sell on fee but that was split with Charlton so we get half (15%)...

As I understand it.

From the GPG interview with Greg Dyke

To what extent was Leroy consulted about the player sales?
He was involved in all of them. No, he wasn't involved with Tabby, because Tabby had effectively gone already. We all knew, didn't we that he was going. If we'd gone up last year, Tabby would have stayed but we didn't so he left. It's a shame that we didn't have him under contract because we would have got significantly more for him, but he did a great job for us. Turner, none of us wanted to sell. We would not have sold Turner if we'd had the choice. But Turner had a thing written in his contract which said if someone comes in from a higher division, he's got the right to discuss it with them and go. It was a strange negotiation because the bloke from Hull got Charlton to reduce the amount of money they were going to take.

I would have thought you'd have called up Michael Grade?
I didn't need to. The bloke from Hull rang up and said, “If I can get it reduced ... will you sell?” And I said, “Yeah.”

They have a large sell on now from Hull.
We went down from 20% to 15% and they (Charlton) will also get 15%. My view was take the cash now. Who knows what happens in the future?

at this rate Hull will be in the championship next season and Turner may go for a pittance

It would seem odd to me that Turner would sign a new contract at Hull 4 days ago ( when he still had 2 yrs left on his current one) and then leave the club straight away.

I really don't think he'll go anywhere til the summer at earliest.

Imagine, Turner clears one off the line in the 90th minute on the final day to keep Hull in the prem, he gets an England call up and then leaves for a cool £15 million in the summer, netting us an even cooler £2.25 million.

But since he said that, they've lost 5-1 to Man City and to Aston Villa, leaving them looking over their shoulders. With one win in 11 I believe, things aren't looking rosey there right now.

The way Hull have been shipping goals lately probably means that his transfer value is now closer to three million.

They kept a clean sheet yesterday, and Turner almost scored, or did he?

think it was a goal, but from the very short clips I saw he didnt play well and could have given Owen two goals

Bad news here boys, apparently Turner is talking with Hull to sign an improved deal today...

Not necessarily bad news alonger contract makes him worth more. He could be off in the summer. :idea:
Wayne Bridge signed a new 4 year deal at Chelsea in July, where is he now? ;)

That's what I was thinking. I reckon that all they've done is persuade him to not leave in January and as a return have upped his wages. Let's hope that Hull sink like a stone now - but not Turner's form of course. :sorted:

I've always believed that Turner would stay at Hull until the end of the season. However, if he continues to perform at the same level, then Hull will be very hard pressed to keep him next season.

As much as I rate him, Hull have concededthe most goals in the premiership and Turner's played almost every match. Yes he's scored 3 goals it's surprising the interest in him.
 

Michael Turner

and if you check out the papers on a sunday/monday he has been the highest marked/star player in the Hull side most matches, since their dip in form.

That proves absolutley nothing. The quality of those playing in front of him leaves a lot to be desired. His class is putting him in the window, these big clubs know who to buy and who not to buy.

How many would they have conceded without him?

probably about 8 LESS............................ i don't see your point. :wave: Nobody would know, would they, from the reports and reading about his exploits up at Hull, Turner has been the one shining light.

Despite some stiff competition in this thread - which has been very interesting to read through - this post stood out more than any other. :sorted:

:imwith: The Chelsea - Hull game was broadcast live in Czech Rep today & from the 60 mins I saw Turner was really excellent. Strong in the air, positioned himself well at the near post to cut out a couple of dangerous low crosses & starting to use the ball like we know he can, one left foot pass in particular when it would have been easier to just hoof it.......
At some point, Hull WILL be forced to sell him & we WILL make a mint:cool:
