Jerseybean Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Anyone else remember mention of a significant personal signing-on fee for LT when we got him on a permanent deal? Wonder if (1) he did receive a personal sum and (2) if there were any claw-back clauses attached if he did. Can anyone on here provide more insights/info?

Londoner Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 To put it simply I would MUCH rather have Reid and Paterson in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartockRed Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 5 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said: He wasn't available on loan. I read this as he was available for loan. The thing is Tomlin still had substantial market value for a club like us, which would have depreciated rapidly by the end of a season long loan. I assume that's why they were made to dig extra deep to secure a loan, so ended up buying him in the end. Sounds like we've recouped most if not all the transfer fee for someone who didn't quite fit into our way of playing. Fantastic player to watch at times, and a little sad to see him leave, but seems like good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club seriously need to sign some players now. He is an excellent man manager and an excellent football manager. As for us, I really now have lost all faith that we will ever be anything more than a yo yo club between the Championship and League 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My piss is at boiling point. you want to build a team around a player who will perform week in week out, not someone who only plays when they feel like it, Build a team round Tammy, hourinhane or Cairney, some one of that ilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me yesterday that he received a £1.5m severance package from Bournemouth and a £300k signing on fee from us last summer. It wasn't a particularly concrete source but I wouldn't be amazed if it happened to be true. Modern football has gone mad, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JammyOne Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 The plan was to build a team around Tomlin. It turns out that Tomlin is a dreadful professional so that's no longer the plan. I can't see why anyone would complain at Tomlin leaving for a fair fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Good result for all concerned. I always saw Tomlin as part of the problem rather than part of the solution. The number of times we sent a side out designed to play to his strengths and he didn`t bother to turn up really got on my nerves if I`m honest.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Shame he's gone in many ways. He was a fine player on his day, and of course the memories of survival. Not too surprised though, wouldn't surprise me if Colin gets a good amount out of him- example that springs to mind, Taarabt at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Funny all the plaudits coming Warnocks way now they've got Tomlin, when his name was put around to do a job for us before LJ he was scum and useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The churn last season was too much- if it's say loanees go, couple more out, 3 or 4 in I can live with that. More than that go and yeah dicing with failure.

The_Don Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Can't be bothered to trawl through all the pages to see if it's already been mentioned but of the replies to Tomlins tweets are cringe level 100. Some people should have their fingers removed so the can't type such drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
