Why would we consider selling Turnbull?
I wouldn't want see any of the current squad leave, the way they have performed so far this season.

No! And I think this has been more than adequately addressed in other threads!

This one in particular, where most agree to sell anyone would be both daft and counter-productive; unless BBM wants it, which I’m confident he doesn’t! :ayatollah:

absolutely not sell whatsoever. Hes very important to this squad. He is clearly popular with his team mates. He understands his role and is a good pro, never complaining or leaking anything. He tries his best every time he plays and has skills that are valuable to us.

Scored a beauty on the weekend, and loves it in Cardiff (why wouldn’t he? ;) ) and he’s finding his feet more and more, as games go by! :ayatollah:

I’m glad to hear he loves it here Chris.
I always got the impression before that he’s not too fussed here - maybe he’s just a little shy.
Certainly since the Chelsea game he looks well happy :thumbup:

I've always had that impression too, that he's not fussed and doesn't really want to be here.

Thought on the weekend he was excellent though. He's one of those players that is just effortless with both feet. Can always seem to get himself out of trouble, no matter how many players are around him.

Here's hoping he kicks on and adds to his goal tally.

Defo wouldn't sell.

I don't rate him. Yes scored a couple of good goals but doesn't like tackling, looks half hearted and doesn't bring enough to the team. Would he really be missed if he left? I don't think so. Probably on a decent wage too.

100% NO.

He is a quality player. We need his experience and ability this season and next.
