    Thanks Lee, it was a pleasure to watch you when you were on your game. Worth the entrance money on your own!

    Pleasure to watch the guy but I'm honestly not gutted. Our best run of form at the end of the season was without him, and if we can get most of the fee we paid back, we could reinvest that in Watkins or someone with potential to be better than Tomlin is. Think it would be wise business to let him go and save a significant amount in wages.

    Expected but a shame- Game changer and just like JET could produce moments of magic that took your breath away- Will be missed for sure- Initial rumblings appear to be Boro

    Great ability, great skill, will be hard to replace, a cheer raiser, could never fit in playing for a manager like Johnson, I'm not suprised he has gone.

    The deal hasn't broken my heart and I wish him well but just another player in my books who would always leave when it suited him. Let's move on and find a better replacement.

    Good on his day, but like Tiger says those days became to far between.
    I only like to see players who play as a team and unfortunely I don't think he wanted that. I won't lose much sleep over this unless the bastard plays like he can against us next season. Hopefully he goes to Celtic.

    I have a sneaky feeling that with Tomlin doing this on social media before any rumour anywhere else that any club is even interested in him. That this could be Tomlin himself trying to engineer a move away.

    I'd be surprised if this isn't confirmation of him having wrapped up a move. He was utterly fabulous when on loan, but last season he was honestly a bit underwhelming. When your contribution to the team is on the basis of skill/genius over hard work (perhaps over-simplifying) then you need to come up with the goods enough to justify it - it's something that held JET back. Still bet your mortgage on him scoring against us though.

    Perhaps he is signing for the gas and is being paid in pasties.

    He will soon sweat off the pounds if he goes there. Fantastic player on his day but not consistent enough for us and does not get on with LJ.

    There was a major rift at the gate,the majority at one point were not behind LJ.

    100% untrue. I know of a particular rift. Tomlin was not involved.

    That's not what a fringe player was saying,the chap behind me has a son who is best mates with this player.
    Only passing on what i was told Rob.
    I certainly believe what he told me:emoticon-0127-lipss:emoticon-0127-lipss

    Tomlin was amazing in his first season but a bit of a luxury this time around and we could not afford that. Undoubted quality but is his heart in it, especially as he knows that LJ doesn't start him just because he was expensive? We need more output from that position.

    I've really enjoyed watching Mooy from Huddersfield when I've seen them play but I'm sure he's top of their permanent signing list now.
