Turnbull Timing Bizarre!

Wouldn't it have been better to tie him to a deal when he was number one following Mark Schwarzer's departure for Fulham.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed a very good season but was dropped on Saturday as Brad Jones was preferred ahead of the draw against Blackburn.
Turnbull, though is out-of-contract in the summer and could leave The Riverside on a free transfer.
Southgate: "Ross has been terrific for us. I think we've made a very good offer and it's up to him.
"If he wants to sign it, brilliant, if he doesn't, that's his prerogative."
Hardly words of encouragement.
