I thought Ben Turner was top drawer before he left us, and his sale (for £750K I think) was a shockingly poor bit of business. However, if he’s had an ankle reconstruction and not even played a full match of any sort since, it would be amazing if hits the ground running for us.
But TM watched him last week, and I trust his judgement.
(Astute) You never know he might stay if everything falls into place .
Where's my prize for predicting this in the thread yesterday morning? :claping hands:
No, the headline I want is....the headline i want today is....
"Turner signs season long deal!"
you shouldnt say things like that - because if that was to randomly happen today - you would be looking at a long term insideNo, the headline I want is....
"Turner signs season long deal, Wasps throw the towel in on their Coventry project and Otis' wife crushed to death in tragic steamroller incident (mystery driver disappears without trace)."
Was only playing premiership football a couple of seasons a go and held his own in that division! As long as this loan isn't just him using the move as a form of fitness camp, I'm happy!
At 27, he's bags of experience and is what we need
But let's bear in mind, the club haven't announced this signing yet............

no that was the argument when we were both still on GMK!!
This move for Turner is absolutely about him getting back to fitness. This will only be a month or two loan. Should work as a stop gap for us.
Mmm...not sure about this.
Glad I'm not the only one!
Isn't he just coming back from long term injury?
That makes three then. It just doesn't seem to add up - he's just recovered from ankle reconstruction, played a few U21 games and we're getting him on a short term loan.
Seems a waste of a loan to me, 'cos we're assuming Turner is the same player he was prior to his reconstructive surgery.
If they have sent him here for a couple of Months at their cost. What's to loose.
At the very best we have a big centre half at the worst he goes back.
Most people get over these injuries so it's all about how fit he is.
If TM has seen him play then we need to trust him on this.
We are only the league below Cardiff (and we're top of it). Posters on here make it sound like we're playing at an amateur level. Lack of match fitness shows at every level, look at Cole for example.
Hopefully the reserve games he's played will stand him in good stead.
Good points, but every opinion is conjecture till we see him action. In contrast, if he performs wonders at the back and then leaves after a month or so, we'll all be gutted and his absence will be felt defensively.
