Jersey Canary 143 Posted July 29, 2013 According to one of the papers Turner is going to Hull on loan with a view to a permanent deal. Is there any truth in this?I would have thought that the way Bennett played towards the ned of the season and the fact that we are looking at expensive centre halves I would that thought this might have legs as Turner is too slow for modern PL football although he did well in the end after a shaky start.

Morisons Prozac 0 Posted July 29, 2013 3 bad games does not equal a shakeup start. And if he struggles with "modern Prem football" ten why was he one of our stand out performers and Player''s POTS? There is no truth to this whatsoever, Turner is one of our better players and we''d be idiots to let him go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excited Canary 19 Posted July 29, 2013 Which paper? Can''t see it being discussed anywhere. Would be very disappointed if true, I felt he was better than Bassong for the most part after Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted July 29, 2013 Yep all this tabloid rubbish, can''t trust any of it........look at the Hooper rubbish they reported on, Going to Norwich, then joining QPR......... But they all get the story from somewhere and if Toby reports (more tabloid rubbish - Dutch this time) have some legs and he is considering a move to Norwich if Liverpool don''t come in, then I think this might be one to keep an eye on. To be honest I would not be devestated to see Turner go, he did a great job once he settled but Bennett was outstadning the last few games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jersey Canary 143 Posted July 29, 2013 Plus Turner is 29 yrs old I think so age is not going to be kind on a slow CB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted July 29, 2013 Well Bassong''s not particularly quick and Bennett is definitely not quick. So we could be in trouble. Other than that, Turner was absolutely immense last season. He''s probably the best defender at the club and is much better than Bennett. If Turner goes we would need someone very good to come in because Bennett is not the answer, not for a full season in the Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 29, 2013 I really can''t see Turner moving unless we have someone else in first. We need two very good centre backs and while Bennett Martin Ayala and Barnett are good back ups, we need Turner in there - unless someone else is coming in who would displace him from the team.

Green and Yellow fellow 0 Posted July 29, 2013 I''ll get slaughtered for this, but I don''t understand all the Turner hype. He''s not that good! He did have a shaky start and a minority of fans we''re on his back. But that''s only because he actually did make notable errors which may of cost us points. Nobody can deny that, and the minority of fans did have evidence to support their view. But credit where credit is due, he did improve, get better, looked sharper and did put in some MOTM performances. I also think Turner is player who improves throughout the season, the more games he gets the better he gets. Saying that, I think Bennett would be the same if was given the chance, he proved he is more than good enough towards the end of last season. Personally I''d prefer to see Bennett start games over Turner, and hopefully if we do buy another quality center back it will be interesting to see where he is in the picking order.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted July 29, 2013 Load of Bull.We only have 3 decent centre halves and he is one of them , he had a good season after a difficult start and and it was this manager that signed him, no way he is off to Hull in any capacity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 29, 2013 I think ''Ayala to Hull'' is much more realistic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted July 29, 2013 There is no way Tuner will go unless we sign someone better (Alderweireld ?)Question: How long has he left on his contract - 2 years? - if so last time to see profitably, and put the money towards another CBIs he good enough? - generally, yes, -he certainly scored some useful goals, though perhaps we don''t need them quite so much now we have at least two good strikers. He is, however, slow, but not more than Bassong.Is he too old? Probably not and will probably not deteriorateIs he committed to the cause? - without any doubt, a loyal, courageous and whole-hearted player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 29, 2013 A handful of performances at the start were poor. For the rest of the season he was our best CB. No way we''d let him go. Even if we got Toby A in it would just push turner down the order Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 29, 2013 I think Turner has developed into a top player at Norwich; he rarely lets anyone down. Be a shame if he moved on at this point... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,234 Posted July 29, 2013 He was imo our best defender after Xmas, Hull wish they could loan him! Would be more upset than Holt moving on if he goes and that''s how good a player I think he is. Holt at least I can make sense of the situation, this would make no sense whatsoever.

ryanncfc 0 Posted July 29, 2013 There is not a chance we would let one of our two best CB''s go out on loan to a potential League rival!! For the last 3/4 months of the season he was probably our best defender! Can''t see any truth in this at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
