So regardless of the rumoured falling out, and variable form, it makes sense for him to go. I hope he gets a good reception when he comes back. I am sure that he will as long as he acts with some dignity and does not look to wind the crowd up, which might be at all order for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Glad he's gone. Let us all down badly. A 'professional' on good money that stops trying and lets himself get out of shape is not needed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think im actually relieved we have got 2.9 million back, I just hope I dont eat my words when we play them. Its now written in the stars that Lee will play out of his skin v us,and be the player at Cardiff we wanted to see here...right deal/move at this time for all parties-thanks for some great memories Lee....

Eastside Moonwalker Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 So what are we doing with the money? New goalkeeper perhaps? I haven't paid attention to pre season other than the scorers of the 11-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame it didn't work out as he is a very talented player. I hope we manage to find a player with a similar amount of flair to replace him.

MartockRed Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Quote from Colin: "It's funny how things work. You think you've lost a player and you're disappointed," Warnock added. "And out of the blue your number one target becomes available. That's fate at times and let's hope they've played us a good hand. "Although Jonny Hayes was top of my list, he was more of a wide player. This player (Tomlin) specialises in that middle area, creating something for our wide players and strikers. "I've been looking at certain areas and certain players because we need goals. We're a difficult side to play against, but you still need a player who can unlock the door and get the you the three points. "He was top of my list at one stage. But I didn't think we'd be able to get him from Bristol City at the time. "We were going to have to pay a substantial loan fee for him. But in the end I don't think Bristol City fancied that idea, so Mehmet (Dalman) decided to go in and buy him." He's not available, then he suddenly is. We surely have some sort of replacement lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonsRed Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 An extremely technically gifted player that for me every side needs to get out of this league. Unfortunately in this case we found one with a bad personality. Wish him all the best. Warnock will get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yozzarian Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 My view on all this. Tomlin didn't perform last year. Something went horribly wrong with the manager during the period where LJ was all over the place and some will say the two are connected, that it was more bad management. What is equally true is that a model professional would have pushed through this and any personal problems, proving themselves right with performances on the pitch. As someone who sang 'sign him up' to Lansdown in the City bar during the club awards following the final game the season before, I find the whole situation awfully sad. I also think that sadly it is the best thing for him to move on. Johnson takes some of the blame but so does Tomlin. Time to move on and re-invest funds in another quality signing now.

Monkeh Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I expect a midfielder will be in by the end of next week for around the 3 million mark. We seem to play hardball with transfers and tend not to let someone go until the replacement is at least lined up, Whether that replacement is any good remains to be seen but getting deals done or selling players for profit seems to be Mark Ashton's strong point, we'd of let him run down his contract or sold him for 500k before ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 17 hours ago, Jerseybean said: In time we will know if there is any truth in this. A simple view from a fan who has never met LT would sum him up like this... Pros: Maverick, able to produce magical goals / moments, good with a dead ball Cons: Maverick, disappears during games, not a team player, questionable work ethic, egocentric, may have 'issues' Certainly a marmite / maverick character. On balance he is not my kind of player, so provided we can broker a reasonable deal I'd wish him well. So time has told us the truth. Good move for BCFC and LT, whether it's good or not for Cardiff remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Deal worth upto £2.9million is great business. I didn't think we'd recoup anywhere near what we paid out for him. Some good memories but ultimitely, too inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Well. Let's hope we re-invest some of the money in new batteries for our much-acclaimed (by Club Officials) DNA test kits. Mystic Meg could've done a better job last Summer...... Tomlin, Matthews, GON, Engvel. No doubt MA will be back in front of the cameras in late August acclaiming his work in the transfer market. Let's hope he does a better job this year 'cause this is LJs last chance and I still have no idea of our best eleven, pattern of play or even the spine of the team. Please, no more for the development squad, foreign punts, just solid Championship players from now on. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
