Sounds like we pissed about with the deal and he got fed up and went elsewhere. Can't blame the bloke in fairness.

The player has to have his best interests at heart, which is fair enough. At the same time, the club must trust it's medical team. We've made the mistake of signing these sorts of players before. Would have been a risk IMO. Obviously I haven't seen his medical notes so we have to trust the club, if they say he's not fit, we must respect that.

Alright, so we might not have been paying his wages, but... - He's had free training with us to keep his fitness up. - He's had a free medical examination and report on us. - Maybe had free physiotherapy from us too? ... so sod 'im, I say.
The one bit I don't get though is DC saying: "“However our medical team were concerned about the nature of the injury to his arm and we were awaiting further tests before completing the signing. We won't take a chance on a player; they need to pass a very thorough medical before signing for us." Now, I can understand caution for leg or foot injuries, as it might affect performance, or even be career threatening, but surely an injury to an arm won't affect ability and it's just a case of waiting for it to heal? On that basis, if we were really keen to sign him, I would have thought make an offer while the arm sorts itself out.

But if the bone in his arm is particularly weak it may be prone to further breaks. If every time he goes to ground there is a chance he could suffer a recurrence then is he really worth it? I am merely speculating but it seems feasible. Eastleigh, in their situation, may not care about the risk with the money their owner is willing to spend and have signed him before he is fully recovered to ensure nobody else can. I'm glad we've taken no chances on him because we've signed crocks before and they've contributed the square root of jack to the Rovers cause and it shows we've learnt our lesson. It would have been nice to have a fully fit Jamie Turley on board but it wasn't to be - let's move on.

I wonder if he is truly excited by the prospect of playing for Eastleigh?

Not surprised at this news but feeling totally deflated nonetheless. Don't be, he's gone for the money, nothing more, DC doesn't want players like that, he's true to his word, he probably feels let down by Turley, but I trust DC and like the squad he's developing I think we're in pretty good shape myself and looking forward to the next batch of games, let's see how far we can go?? Simple equation for me I'm afraid,are we good enough defensively with Macca in the back line when injuries/suspensions kick in?A no for me.If Turley signed I think DC would have played Parkes,Trotman and Turley as a back three or Turley and Trotman/Parkes in a 4-4-2,which would imo been a defence good enough to have a great crack at going straight back up.Yes Lockyer can cover the loss of Parkes or Trotman in central defence but he won't dominate like a Turley type and that would also mean Leadbitter playing right back when the manager has shown that he doesn't trust him in that position at the moment.Cant help but feel this is a typical Rovers let down moment although the simple facts appear to be Eastleigh can afford the financial hit if the injury proves problematical and we can't,f###ing pub team.

I'd assume Turley failed another medical and took what was offered to him by cash rich s***house Eastleigh. Frankly, if that's his attitude I'm glad he isn't here. Or we kept messing him about so took a decent offer which was on the table rather than wait and find we didn't make him an offer and Eastleigh had also found another player. I can't really see you can blame Turley who hasn't been paid already for a couple of months. Still can't understand why we made a big issue out of a broken arm as when was the last time an outfield player had to retire due to a broken arm? Surely the experts we use can make a decision anyway? Although you do wonder if Trotman's & Parkes recent form plus McChrystal now being fit has made DC think twice about signing another CB, I'd sooner he sign another CM than CB.

I hope we sign someone else to play right back/centre back. I think our defence isn't good enough to get us promoted - yet to get one clean sheet away from home is one indicator. Just think we could do with at least one more defender who is comfortable on the ball and passes accurately. In my eyes we still give the ball away far too much and I think this costs us away where we probably spend more time defending.

Really disappointed. Definately IMO better than what we have got. Cant blame him if Eastliegh offer higher wages. What ******* me off is BRFC can not compete salary wise with either Forest Green, Eastliegh etc. ...

Personally would like to see us go for the Barnet winger Keanu- Marsh now. It's Keanu Marsh-Brown. And he is the last person that a club like you in the position you're in needs. Steer well clear.

Sorry to sound like a stuck record, but still reckon Ryan Higgins would be worthwhile for this - still don't think he's signed up anywhere. Lockyer, Leadbitter and Higgins as right back/RWB Parkes, Trotman, McC, and Lockyer as CB We'd be well covered. The only worry I have is who fills in at LB if Brown gets injured?

The world will keep spinning of course, but he is still a c**t for this. Still if Parkes can return back to the form when he first came here then we have a better player than Turley on our hands imo. Of course he's a c# nt , fancy looking after His family! what a s* it!

Looking at Balanta's photo I would suggest he is quite away from being match fit. Agree with the Turley thing but why are Barnet prepared to let a player like Marsh-Brown leave ? Still think the two positions we need to sign players for are Right Wing & Creative Midfielder.Maybe another striker if Brunt leaves. Personally I would go with what we have at the moment. If you get another midfielder in then two of Sinclair, Mansell, Ollie Clark can't play - so no real point as they are 3 very decent players at this level. Gosling looked half decent on Tuesday and deserves a crack, Balanta will get a game sooner rather than later, up front we can perm 2 from Cunnington, Taylor, White and Harrison - with Brunty when fit another option. Dont think we need to waste any more cash at the moment! Do we need anyone else? Let's wait and see how the next few games pan out. That could be Darrells view too! Inclined to agree, and with WCG too. Lets save the money for loan signings when we need them, or if some real quality comes available.

It makes me laugh how players apparently have to "pass a very thorough medical" before joining us, yet I've seen us sign some of the most unfit excuse for footballers in recent times.

So maybe at long last the club have learnt the lesson not to sign unfit players, that can only be good, I'm a bit disappointed that The Turley deal didnt materialise but frankly there are more pressing needs plus the form of Trotman will probably mean an contract extension.We have four very decent centre backs, onwards and upwards.

If it was a recovery from a broken leg then yes, but is an almost healed broken arm really a good reason to lose a player better than all our CB's? Also i'd say MM hasnt looked good enough, even in this league, and Parkes has not rediscovered the form he was in whilst on loan.

Perhaps after letting in 2 goals on Tuesday Eastleigh just decided to up their offer, and the second opinion nonsence is just a smoke screen to cover for the fact we miss out, if Turley turns out to be as good as posters have suggested he might be then we should really have had him signed up. Time will tell if we've missed out on a decent signing or not.
