Cowshed Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 7 minutes ago, Eddie Hitler said: Lee Tomlin was supremely talented, that goal above where he sest up the ball for himself by putting spin on it is amazing, but some players, in line with a lot of people whatever their job, want an easy and enjoyable life. If you can be paid millions, show off a bit, but generally take it easy then that's an attractive option. Chritsiano Ronaldo lives his life in the gym and on the training ground in order to be the absolute best player he can be and one of the best ever. That works for him. Lee Tomlin can earn more money than he can ever spend whilst enjoying his free time doing whatever he wants. It works for him. I thought the same of our own Tommy Doherty - the guy was very talented and could have gone a lot a further, he could have been a Northern Ireland international legend. He chose instead to have a hugely enjoyable and well paid ten years. Whilst most of us think that if we had the chance to be a pro footballer we would do everything to be the best possible I think the reality would be that there would be as many Dohertys and Tomlins as Ronaldos and Bales. The reality is that most people do not have the mind set to give themselves a chance. That chance starts in childhood. While the rest of us did what we felt like Lee Tomlin would have been practising. Football talent is not accidental, it is focussed practice. For various reasons Peterborough may be Lee Tomlins level … Bale and Ronaldo not only have a work ethic they also have genetic advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew Tommy Doc liked a beer and a burger but the difference between him and Tomlin is clear, Tommy was popular with the lads, staff and fans. Tommy also wasn't a complete ******/arrogant toerag/thinking he was God's gift etc. It's pretty much common knowledge now that Tomlin caused rows within the dressing room with players and the staff. Wilbs was the only one that could get a degree of sense in to him but even that didn't work often. The bloke needed serious help with his people skills but when you've got that sort of cash floating around the ears, he was not open to criticism or keeping feet on the ground. Add his bad attitude into the mix and it's a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 A terrific player on his day but toxic the rest of the time. As others have said, if NW couldn`t get a tune out of him there really is no hope - for all his faults Mr Warnock can usually sort out a prima donna. Also, if the rumours that were circulating at the time of his sale about bullying of younger players had any truth to them, he needed shipping out in any case. And if anyone thinks he didn`t miss that penalty v Burton on purpose...……………………….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the great moments in his loan spell were soon forgotten when he was poor in his permanent spell with us. Ended up at Cardiff, h'es overweight the list goes on.

Tomlin and others like him are cheating the fans with their insincerity’s and dishonesty. There are plenty of others that can offer far greater talent but didn’t get the opportunity because of people like Tomlin. True he has a talent but means nothing if you don’t use it.

Warnock now knows what he’s got on his hands and has got shot of him twice already since he’s joined, with the payments they get just for being in the Prem even if it is only for 1 season, then parachute payments on top of they do come back down, paying off someone who even Warnock can’t handle will be a pittance.

It may be a subsidised loan until his Cardiff contract is up, it could be a "mutual" termination. Either way, I think its obvious that Colin doesn't want him around though, especially after shipping him out on loan already before this. You listen to the "rumours" from his time here, and then read between the lines since he joined Cardiff, and let's be fair it doesn't look good for Mr Loyal Love, or whatever that crap brand is. Has to be one of the most frustrating players of modern time. All the talent when he wants to show it, which to be fair isn't very often (or until he wins a permanent contract with a huge signing on fee!!) Providing he is still living in Leicester (couldn't care less tbf), then Peterborough isn't a bad move for him. At least from the living arrangements situation...
