Admin Ian M Posted March 12, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just watched the Lee Tomlin interview on Player: "This shows what we can do, we got to stay up this season then next season we got to do this from the start!" Sounds like he's keen to join us permanently then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'd love it, but be surprised. It's media training talk. Even on loan, they will still use 'we'. Didn't he say when he arrived he wanted to use the loan to earn himself another chance at Bournemouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he should use the word "we" but he started talking about what "we need to do next season" like he was gonna be around then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Tomlin doesn't sound like the sharpest knife going, so I'm take it as that he sort of gets a bit confused when doing interviews.

I hear what you're saying, still think it's just media training. I remember a caretaker manager talking in a similar way once, even though the new manager was lined up. Strange, I know. As I say, from what i've heard and read, I would be surprised if he signs permanently, but would love it if he did. It would be a fantastic coup for BCFC of he did.

He was easily their best player when we played them. Including probably the best attempt on goal I've seen all season when he had a nice touch with Ayling on his back, turned and smacked a volley of the bar with his left foot from about 30 yards. Not to mention his goal. Think he will be in the prem next season as well. Much like King at Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Think we should be pushing to make it happen. It shouldn't be in our(the clubs) minds that it couldn't happen. He's here and playing well. Looks like he's enjoying it and he's playing. Keep talks quiet and get it done and ready to be announced when we are safe or the first day of window opening.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Only 27? You could get a good few years out of him, he's clearly a class player. Plus he could pass on expertise to the younger players and would be ideal to help guide them as I firmly believe a lot of our squad who put on that brilliant 14/15 season. The best is yet to come, fairly near start of that cycle and not near the end unlike our 07/08 squad which was quite experienced..in those circs Tomlin could be perfect.

He is on a ridiculous amount of money compared to what we are paying / willing to pay & if he's out of contract, he's going to be looking to keep that wedge going as there will be no transfer fee paid for him. As for Tomlin, he said something similar in one of his earlier post match interviews, that made me sit up & think maybe there was a chance of us having him here next season (depending on what division we're in).

And Its Smith Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Sure he will want to play as high as he can and if bigger clubs than us want him then he will go there. He's probably on too high a wage anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Tomlin is a class act…and I'd certainly rather have him in our team than have us playing against him…which is never a bad test of a player. It's a test that Ross McCormack passes…I loath the prospect of him in the opposition ranks! And to be fair to Lee's media skills he's been put up for interview after almost every match he's played and has always had something interesting to say. He'd be a great signing and just the sort of experienced play maker we need to do more than survive in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking would it be worth going for him in the scenario that we stay up and Fulham go down? Undoubtedly there would be others after him too, but if you don't ask...

samo II Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 One thing is for sure; he won't be playing for Bournemouth again under their current gaffer, who clearly is going nowhere, so whether it is to us or someone else, Tomlin will be moving in the summer. If we could afford him, I think it would be a move we should make; with a summer to settle and perhaps a focus on building the team to suit his forward thinking style, Tomlin could be a very effective player for us. He's already 'won' two games for us with key goals, and demonstrated his capacity to generate chances, such as his excellent pass for Kodjia verses MK Dons. Glad he's clearly pushing for a prolonged stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 It is a bit worrying that many of our best players are loanees who could be going at the end of the season, our recruitment will need to be spot-on this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It is a concern as the likes of Baker & Tomlin are very good players at this level. I guess the only positive is LJ can rebuild the squad his way. I would love it if we can sign Tomlin on a permanent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
