What would we say if Ashton came on here and said, we agreed a deal, and Tomlin's agent wanted a bit more. That could be what happened. This is a forum, so we can carry on the debate, but we are all guessing, well 99.99% of us are. I'm not speculating at all. I'm assuming Tomlin is telling the truth.

Sounds like he's getting a bit fed up with it all to me. Can't blame him either. Bottom line is if we can't/won't pay what he wants, we move on now else we're going to end up in the same stupid situation as last season. And how do you know its true! Any reason to slate this club.

No- he really really shouldn't but here's my take on it: I think Tomlin has absolutely LOVED all the attention he's received from us fans and BCFC. He had a good time here, played some great football and was really appreciated by all. City are a club well worth coming to and I think once it was obvious that no Prem club was in for him and Bournemouth ready to let him go then he made his mind up to come to us..... So long as we pay the c.£1m per annum he wants. The negotiations which he has left to his agent may not have gone exactly to plan so far and his temper may have risen and had a temporary hissy fit. He wants to get the deal over the line too but he's a young footballer and impatient to get going.T weeting his frustration to the world is a tad worrying on a number of levels and this may not have been lost on BCFC officials. Or us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcchris2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Do feel that looking at Lee Tomlin's messages. He is deliberately trying to annoy all the City fans to make the board and Mark Ashton feel bad and putting pressure on them to pay what he and his agent wants. Really is rubbish from him really and putting such unnecessary negativity around the club when we should be looking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I say clearly NO to Tomlin. He's shown himself addicted to social media, more so it seems than to football.

Red Rag Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Great player but Jesus he does talk a lot of bollox on that Twitter. Going off this lad big time. Either sign or stay put in the Bournemouth stiffs, it's as simple as that. Time we moved on, I sence he is going to be too much trouble for Bcfc.

Ivorguy Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 City policy of signing players who want to play for us is the right one - think Brownhill, O'Neill, and our very own Bryan, Reid and the kids, etc Remember Sir Alex got shot of Beckham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rag Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Modern day players do seem to have very big egos. At what point in their career does the fact you kick a bag of air for a living impact on their ability to see the world quite so differently from what are useually humble beginnings. If a lad of mine behaved in the way these guys do theirs ears would be ringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all the stuff about short career and dog eat dog etc but I really do struggle with the protracted financial demands of footballers in general wanting more per week than most individuals earn in a year often working in unfulfilling jobs. I have to say that Lee's (deleted) tweets have made me question whether this move is as good for us as I have previously thought. Crap night though- maybe I'll feel different tomorrow when he signs.

Red Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Its about time the club made a statement as to what is going on, they either want the player or don't! Just to end the moans and groans on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm quite sad sad about this as I think he would have been great for us but I can't believe that Johnson and Ashton would put up with this stupid stuff on Twitter, maybe the Bournemouth fans were right. I'd personally go and tell him to do one, but with regret. To bust our wage budget on someone so truculent in public would be a massive mistake in my opinion. Let's just thank him for his time here and wish him luck for the future on whichever highly paid bench he's sitting on. I maybe fickle but the love has gone for me.

City37 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 LJ and MA must be questioning his DNA credentials and quite rightfully so. Although a class act (on the field) would it be right to break our wage structure for him? ..... I'm not so sure it is now - imagine what his ego would be like after getting a big fat juicy contract. Two weeks ago I was all behind this signing .. but now I'm thinking this could be all wrong for us and time to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Tomlin suggesting City had a package accepted then changed the goal posts?
