If, as it looks he is going this early then I would assume someone has actively pursued him. This would imply that we have got most if not all of our money back - IMO.

Fordy62 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Well. Arguably our most marquee signing ever is now gone it would seem. Seems the end of the season hasn't ended the disappointment. I was really hoping that LT would outlast LJ so we could see what he was really capable of. You just know that he'll go somewhere and tear us a new one next season.

Whitchurch1966 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Strange, no solid rumours about destination, no comment from club, very early in the window, maybe just a throw away comment by Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete waste of a massive wage, we are a considerably better TEAM when he's nowhere near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Trundle and Tomlin were given every chance to succeed, and both failed. Neither delivered at the end of the day. Not the fault of the manager in either case. We do though have a very poor record with people called "Lee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive loved watching Tomlin but I think it's going to need all the planets to align for him to see out a couple of consistently good seasons at one club. Anyway, best of luck Lee. Thanks for some fantastic memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the only option to get him away from our starting XI where he seems untouchable then gladly - part of the problem and not the solution.

BRISTOL86 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 How people can blame LJ for Tomlins own failures is beyond me. Fourth club in 3 years is it? Presumably it was also Eddie Howe's fault that he thought he was a lot better than he was at Bournemouth too? This league isn't the one for individuals who aren't interested in being part of a team. Certainly not unless you're in an absolutely fantastic team. He'd be incredible in League One like JET was. Half the problem this season was the fact that we tried anything to accommodate Tomlin at detriment to the team as a whole. LJ has learned from that mistake it would seem.

Dolman Block B Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Personally im sad the lad is off. He brought us some great moments. He has undoubted quality and if played in his correct postion and being fully fit he would be the best player in the club by miles. He obvioulsy fell out with LJ whenit went public and was on TV. Shame the club cannot keep hold of him for another season, but they work with the lad every day of a season and would have more reasons to allow him to go than any supporter would. Good luck Lee, please dont it come back to bite us on the as when he is in anothers clubs colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Another exciting, high profile player in the world of Bristol City that we just can't handle. Such a shame.

I'm purely speculating here, but getting Russell and Diedhiou early in the window would be a good statement. Part if me thinks we will lose money on selling Tomlin, but part of me think a top-end Champ club might see him as the missing piece in the jigsaw, and be prepared to pay £3-5m.

He'd be an asset in the right team that are good enough to have 10 players carry him for the 80% of games that he's not at the races. But we're not that team. Russell is the opposite of Tomlin - limited technically but will work his bollocks off for the team ten games out of ten. I know which I'd rather have all day long.
