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. It must be a done deal already - he surely wouldn`t tweet what he has if it wasn`t - would he? I can see him getting some major stick if he is just on the wind up.

Jacki Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's not impossible at all that it might be a wind up. He's always been a bit of a berk on social media and this could well be the next instalment. It's all very tedious, he obviously just loves the the attention.

... Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 One positive if Tommo goes: the groundsman will be a happy man. It's a great pitch, but playing Tomlin can't do it any good long-term, can it? tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDziek Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Both Tammy and Taylor Moore have responded to him on Instagram. Be surprised if they would have if he was on the wind up. great player on his day. But those days were rare last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think this could backfire on him, he basically said he's off or made it read like this. I expect he thought people would be saying 'please don't go' but instead he's mostly getting 'bye then', at least on here. Lots of players have responded, weird if they know he's staying. Surely he won't be here next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Tomlin one of our best, or the best player. Like him and think hes got more football in his body and brain then the rest of the team. Sorry for him and City it did not work out. Great footballer but dont know how we can get the best out of him. Probably best what happens. Feel sorry anyway, he is hell of a player. Our long bad run was not good for him. He is one moment before the other players. Think he will do ok in a team that is top of the table. We where running and fighting to avoid relegation. Dont think thats Tomlins coup of tea. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs entertainment when you can get results. To think we criticised Wigan and their predictable 1-0 wins !! Yep, the available evidence suggests our Coach gets the best results playing old fashioned 4-4-2 with a team of instantly forgettable triers. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. Hey-ho.

REDOXO Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 If Tomlin is off its not his decision unless he put in a transfer request. Has He? Anyone? Has he been told he is surplus to requirements or has an acceptable offer been made for him? Who knows? Anyone? All we have is a picture and a quote.

Assembled a team that couldn't get the best out of him .

Andy Horsman Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Good luck to him!! BCFC was here before LT and it will be here after he goes, whenever that is. I like the player, he's certainly not short of skill and when it gels he's a match winner at Championship level, but he does, frustratingly, lack consistency. I suspect his short tenures at other clubs are an indication that he either outstays his welcome, or he simply wants a fresh challenge (admittedly that's an expansive range!) regularly. Given what he cost, in terms of his fee and wages and the season we just had, and his impact during that season, it's not unreasonable to think we were short-changed. I'd be happy if he stayed and we saw more of his positive attributes next season, but if not, much like LT, I'll quickly move on.............

Paterson can play the Tomlin role, I believe Taylor can play behind a striker and Brownhill- well he's versatile isn't he. It didn't seem a pure old fashioned, straight 4-4-2 to me.

Ivorguy Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 The club fought hard to sign Tomlin this time last year. In one year a player considered outstanding at this level doesn't become useless a year later unless one of two factors come into play; one, serious injury, two poor management. Clearly the first factor does not apply in this case therefore ........ Furthermore we will be lucky to recover more than a fraction of the fee paid 12 months ago. Well messed up, City.........

I still don't see that the formation was anything like as rigid as that and still think Paterson and Taylor played just behind Tammy. Presumably in your view Paterson would be the fourth midfielder, playing on the left of the four yet he seemed to me to be more central than that. The best comparison I can come up with is Pedro and Hazard playing just behind Costa rather than on the wings. Though they are of a marginally higher standard.
