Taz Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Could be just him on a wind up, it wouldn't be the first time... Probably is on his way, which I don't think anyone is actually surprised at if we're all being honest. The way he is doing it though if that is the case is unprofessional, but after all of the Twitter drama with him last year, again, are we surprised? Shame if/when he goes because, as others have said, is unplayable on his day. Unfortunately for us though, that wasnt nearly enough this season. Whichever system we seem to be playing now, he doesnt fit. He's either not good enough for the system, or doesn't do enough off the ball to warrant him being in the team. I'd say so long as we get a good chunk of what we paid for him, if someone else wants to take him on then let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I worry as much about LJs ego as much as Tomlin's. Clearly, LJ tought he could do better than Howe and get Tomlin to work for us. He couldn't and it nearly cost us a Championship place. Would have loved it to work out as he is a sublime talent. Notwithstanding MA blathering on about 'the right DNA', Tomlin 's DNA was badly misaligned with LJs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 34 minutes ago, Bullbag said: Would be lucky to 500k. He isn't very good, Left back, no Left midfield, no Central, no. One of those players who doesn't have a specialist position. Can get away with it in league One, but not in this division. Not good enough and needs to be moved on, bristolian or not. Left back signing(s) is one of the priorities this summer, along with other positions. The more I read your posts , the more I realise you know very little about football and even less about trolling. Keep trying . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I don't understand how we can never "find a place" for players with skill. Our squad lacks any type of flair, no skilful wingers or craetive midfield players. Our two main strikers are lumps. Huge summer required and its going to cost.

Kid in the Riot Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 For his own good LT should really delete his social media accounts. His signing has to go down as a pretty big mistake given the fee and his wages. Will have to see what we can recoup in terms of the fee. The loan arrangement was perfect for us but after seeing his antics on twitter last summer I would not have signed him. Looks like our top two goalscorers definitely won't be at the club next season then. Really got our work cut out in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 He was our best player for the first part of last season. He always contributed to the team and was by far our most creative player. Tomlin always looked to create and make things happen , believe me we will miss him. Also no Tammy we are really going to struggle if you think Matty Taylor is going to step up. We have lost our other creative player in Freeman and some of you want to make the same mistake we did with Ayling last year and get rid of a very good full back in Bryan. There is no point in getting rid of players if we are going to replace them for players of lesser quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Knockhaert is really skilful, probaby better than Tomlin, but his tracking back and defence is superb. He is up and down that right side all game long and he energy levels are amazing.....puts Tomlin to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 We do need skill and creativity but you need some work rate with that too. I prefer my tricky players to be wingers. O'Dowda and Paterson fit that for me and always room for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure part of it is just him being a dick on twitter. But he is clearly going IMO and will be gone by the end of the summer assuming a club meets our valuation of him.
