Michael Turner

[sonofabee]

Surely he could match Hypia for pace?

Possibly but can't imagine Hypia being priced at £9M +

Greenholme could match Hypia for pace.

Sinton played for England. :love2::love2::love2:

So will Turner if he is at Liverpool.

 

[wanderer paul]

Now Spurs are adding their interest in Turner due to 3 of their CB's injured, £8mill plus a player or two!

8 Million plus Darren Bent...hmmm....would that make it 24 Million???

 

[Gee Bee]

He would have been if he was 10 years younger in todays market.

Bobby Moore would be worth what in todays market if John Terry is valued at £40m? Moore had even less pace than Turner, but like Turner (but better) read a agme well enough to gain a few yards in thought alone.

 

[North London Bee]

I wonder if Hull have ever made any approach to us to try and buy out our sell- on clause for a discounted immediate payment?

:no:

If they had it would have been on the GPG .......

NLB is correct.....the first that we will know there are real live negotiations going on is when I can email Greg Dyke and say that I've just read on the GPG that he'll be getting a call from the Hull chairman within a couple of hours and the deal is this........(continues for 327 pages)

Bobby Moore is possibly my favourite player ever...........however for all his positional sense I think he would struggle in the premiership if he was morphed here from 1966.

It's all hypothetical and so impossible for anyone to be right or wrong but as the game has moved on and become much, much quicker, the profile and DNA of players has changed. They are fitter, stronger, taller, bigger and quicker and there are very few "tricky little wingers", out and out goalpoachers, or strolling sweepers so we never see the likes of Best, Greaves or Mooro again.

The game has moved on, it's much, much quicker and players need to be

Moore would have been having that better training etc in todays game and would have been fitter, stronger and possibly even a yard or so quicker. It is hyperthitical, but I'm sure the likes of Moore, Best & Greaves would have been just as good today.

To a point - Greaves and Moore would have surely benefited from training developments that would have enhanced their 'natural' talents

I don't think anything - apart maybe from being off the sauce - could have improved Bestie one iota

 

[kempy]

Lets hope the price keeps spiralling.

I question whether he's worth half that even in todays inflated market, rated him for us and pleased to see him doing so well for Hull. Still believe he will be exposed for his lack of pace in the top division over time.

You don't need pace when you can read the game as well as he does.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

this is proper great news. 15%! well done brentford. come on liverpool or someone, buy him.

if we signed him back for £10 million, we would actually only pay £8.5 million?

I believe that there was one circumstance in January 2007 which was nearly calamitous (in hindsight). I still have cold sweats when I think about what might have been ....

a certain forward was coming here?

thank goodness that deal wasn't done, a Dickens or Finch 'jobby'? can't remember now.

Forster was coming to us from Hull and maybe we were willing to give up some/if not all of the sell on. He went to Brighton, we went down so all were happy.

This was under the old but younger regime.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

lol

 

[Jimbee]

Yeah, and we got Shipperley instead, what a relief.

All of the sell on from what I understand. It was only Forster doing a last minute turn around that stopped the deal going through.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

and extended Leary's loan and sent back Simon Cox.

 

[FlyBee]

Ah, thanks for the clarity. Could have been an expensive signing.

We stand to receive an attractive lump sum almost three years later (assuming a deal happens now).

What would the financial benefit to club have been during the period since then if Forster had scored the goals to keep us up?

Not £1.m+, that's for sure.

So, Liverpool has "offered" £5.5m Hull want £12m is being reported at the moment....

 

[Les Beeavinu]

£7.5m anyone?

 

[rebus]

Not £1.m+, that's for sure.

Well not with the BFC board as it was at the time, but let's face it, we were down by November.

Turner's News Updates and Graph....building up nicely

[FlyBee]

Well Everton were reportedly keen and there's a good chance that Lecott will end up at Man City for £20m ish so they could be in a position to get Turner for say £10m and bank the rest. Sounds like fair business to me.

 

[Alan D]

Evidently Hull are saying nothing less than 12 million, which probably means anything from 8 to 10 million will do the trick.

 

[Deleted member 2202]

£5.5m is an insult for a young English player in the current transfer market. I think Hull are right to hold out for £12m, but anything over £10m would be nice.

If it's anything to go by Turner was left out of the starting XI for Hulls pre-season tour match against Tottenham in China this morning.

[Billy Hunt]

Hmmm, too valuable to risk? Jolly good.

 

[Wouldbee]

And he was seen in the stands wearing an inter-milan top and lighting a cigar with £50 notes.

Nah not really.

He didn't get on the pitch at all.............

 

[Sweepy]

This is turning into an excellent day.

 

[Wouldbee]

Don't count your chickens Sweeps. The dust hasn't even been kicked up to be able to settle yet.

He played against Beijing a few about 14 hours ago, I think.

 

[Billy Hunt]

Boo! Hiss!

 

[Wouldbee]

Yeah I saw that too but presumably so did other chaps who started the final...? Brown said before the game that the tour was about squad rotation but still.............

 

[Westlad]

This is turning into an excellent day.

 

[maddogging]

Anyway, if you listen to the interview, it is confirmed that an offer has been received for Michael Turner. It is also fairly clear (to me, at least), that Duffen intends to sell him.

BBC Northern Monkey news was the source

This thread is too long!!!!!!

Could someone please post a message below this stating how much we stand to get from a move for the lad?

Is it fixed or a pretty percentage?

It has been mentioned many times, but I think it was 15% of the fee above the £375,000 we received for him

 

[wanderer paul]

It has been mentioned many times, but I think it was 15% of the fee above the £375,000 we received for him

it's 15% of the fee once £375k has been taken off.

ie £10 mill fee minus £375K = £9,625,000. 15% of this = £1,443,750. as an example.
