I hadn`t heard that before but it just goes to show what statistics can be used for. Didn’t the same method show Paterson as a more affordable lternative to the much admired Knockeart?

Well you were in a minority I guess, considering the impact he had the previous season, and if the likes of Warnock wanted him too it was testament to him as a footballer, his persona was not an issue then, and only became known after we signed him on a permanent. If you had doubts as to his worth to the club then good on you, I like to think I can suss out a wrong 'un, but you deserve a round of applause, did you confide in anyone as to your concerns?

If you can be assed find the signing thread, a lot wanted him to sign (me included early on), but as it dragged on and he kept putting more stuff up on Twitter quite a few went off him. He really made that window all about him and a few could tell it wasn’t a good sign, ffs he’s Lee Tomlin not ******* Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bristolcity Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Funny how memories fade, there was so much pressure on SL to sign him, sure it dragged on a bit, but it was like well ''that's us sorted'' when he did. We all knew he was a Maverick, but we loved him for that, just as long as he was City, as soon as he was off well he was fair game. Fickle eh?

luke_bristol Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 From the cardiff city forum: “I thought our midfield was woeful. Damour and Bryson in particular. We are so static when in possession. No movement at all. I was at the game and Tomlin wasn’t asked to warm up once. Not even before the game. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone in the window.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevP Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Well done Agent Tomlin. Your presence is enough to **** up Crapdiffs roller coaster ride. The bubble has burst and I just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 However it finished at City with Tomlin one thing that his signing did do was lift the whole club . We succeeded in bringing in a top player in competition against other clubs and gave us the belief that we were going to compete in this league .

Bristol Rob Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Owning Tomlin seems to be one of those things business people say about owning their own plane. Delighted on the day they bought it, even more delighed the day they got shot. Strikes me as a difficult JET. All of the ability, occasional application and the wrong attitude.

We all knew he was a Maverick, but we loved him for that, just as long as he was City, as soon as he was off well he was fair game. Fickle eh? Maverick?. Off of the top of my head in my time in supporting BCFC I recall IMO 4 players who fall into the 'maverick' category (apologies if I have missed any others). Keith Fear, Jacki, Jet and Tomlin. The big difference is with Tomlin it is all about Tomlin and can only ever be about Tomlin, he has an ego the size of the principality of Wales and when the fairy dust settles and then totally wears off there is little or nothing left of any use, the fans, the manager, the coaches and his team mates see him for what he actually is and then it's usually time for him to move on and ultimately disappoint another set of fans. The lesson here is hopefully SL will never bow to fan pressure to sign another 'egotistical' maverick in the same way that he never bowed to fan pressure when many including me advocated sacking LJ. Everybody is entitled to their opinion but hopefully SL will make his own decisions from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
