Say what you like about Tomlin and the type of player he is, but those types of players keep their value i.e. Balotelli (not to the same scale but you see where I'm coming from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Although I posted earlier that I had heard he was off to Cardiff for a rumoured £2 million, there remains a puzzle. I have been given to understand that LTs problems last season stemmed from him still living in Leicester as, supposedly, his new wife wouldn't move. Cardiff hardly solves that problem, albeit if he left the problem would no longer be ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 If we can't find a formation to use Lee and he is not going to get a game he just as well move on. Invest the money with players that fit into our system. Great player as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 £2.8m is excellent stuff. I see us playing a hardworking 4411/442 next year and I don't think Tomlin fits. For me the front 6 should be: Brownhill Pack Smith Paterson Reid/Taylor Diedhiou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appearances/promotion etc form the rest of it. Was only way could agree for Cardiff to take on his full wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see Tomlin fitting into how we're likely to play. However, I think he'll be replaced- either with a central midfield player or someone to play in that '10' in the hole position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he generally just didn't settle here though, I don't think he liked or respected the head coach. I think Warnock will be good for him. Maybe Warnock will allow him to spend more time in Leicester as he himself infamously turned down a job at a Championship club because the owner wanted him to live near the training ground but Warnock wanted to live in Cornwall Mon-Thurs and just come up for the weekends. Maybe 'the marital problem' has gone away? Who knows, but his time effectively came to an end at BCFC some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Think the problem last season was trying to find a style of play to accomodate Tomlin, sadly I think we will be a better side without that headache.

SuperDziek Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think signing a player like Tomlin for a team like ours is always a gamble, in that we're not one of the top teams who can afford to carry a player, we need the XI pulling together for the cause as at the moment, we're at best a mid table championship club. Some gambles pay off, some don't. This one in theory is the latter, but if we get £2.8m back as a result of the gamble, then it's not worked out too badly. Was it Paul Jewell who said about JET - One day a world beater, next day a panel beater. Well, LT was like that and he was at least consistent in his inconsistency! Surely he was a dead man walking since the bust up with LJ though, so the news is no real surprise. Good suggestion from @Woodsy to through in Engvall and call it £5m - You should be our Director of Football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
