Lee Tomlin's Not a Blue

Any longer..

Club statement, gone by mutual consent.

Gutted in lots of ways. Just hope we can reuse his salary to pick up another playmaker, but one that stays fit....

 

Was on the cards - best of luck to him and us.

Best footballer at the club and I wish him well.
In any other industry he would have gone a while back. I think the club has been more than fair to him.

 

Had to be, he can't play hoof ball.

 

I guess it at least stops us from waiting and hoping for a long awaited return to fitness.

Next up Vassell maybe?

 

Why not get rid of the lot and start again with a new management team,as there are not many left now.

 

Must admit I was expecting the "left the club by mutual consent" statement to refer to someone else.

 

"Expecting" or wishing?

 

He was a square peg in a round hole.
A quality footballer but we saw too little of him.

 

I was thinking the same, on both points.

Tomlin was an enigma.
Plent of skill and a good football brain.
Prone to carry a few pounds and get injured.
Saw him give what he was capable of too infrequently.

A shame, but at least theres certainty.

 

Let's face it, Tomlin has been a passenger for a long time and hopefully we can get someone younger and fitter in to replace him.
I think his contract is up this summer so if we have to pay the remainder we may not have the spending power in January.
However I wish him well for the future.

 

True, but partly due to his inability to maintain a playing weight and also injured too often.

Good luck to him wherever he goes. A very good footballer, unable to achieve a level his ability deserved.

 

Left a nice parting message.

I think he may like us more than Bristol

 

Are you saying that Bristol don't like us?

 

He got mad with us - after Steve Lansdown refused to renew the Greggs franchise at Ashton Gate
