CWC 383 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 To expand on Vectors post a little as we've got the same story (I posted it on FMTTM earlier this morning) but slightly different info. I've been told that Tomlin has also been told that we have received an offer, in confidence, that was being considered. He proceeded to talk about the offer to the squad, along with the bit about his agent. He was hoping for a new contract, but has been told by Neil Bauser that this won't be coming which is why he's now rocking the boat. As I was saying. Gazette are struggling. Can you give us any names that are coming in? Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Anyone else think the Rhodes thing has been off for a while now and we've maybe been leaking story's out to cover up what we're actually working on? I think 'plan B' is well underway and we will see a player in in time for Preston. Hopefully we will find out who this mega signing is aswell. Link to post Share on other sites
boroinferryhill 8 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Oh for goodness sake. More journalists claiming to have spoken to people that I know for a fact they haven't about players they don't know. This is from Victoria Gibson fella .. Something going on Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 447 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 @spallett87 @DMAC102 Boro have accepted a 3.5m bid from Bournemouth for Lee Tomlin, can he make the step up you reckon Darragh? Darragh MacAnthony @DMAC102 @spallett87 Easily imo & a complete bargain if that fee is correct! Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dissapointed with the initial figure. I was hoping for 5 mil. But I guess Bournemouth would have been aware that we wanted him out, hence the low price. Just praying now that we don't waste this money by not investing in our attack. Tomlin (dispite what people say) was a good player for us last season and he will be hard to replace. Link to post Share on other sites
Dxmge 0 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I honestly can't believe how many fans are devastated he's leaving. First off all he came back for pre-season overweight which is a complete disgrace, which I'm sure most of you will agree on. Second of all we have replaced him with possibly now the best player in the whole of the division and not to mention we also have got in another player just as good and if not better than him just for back up. And if rumours are true he was starting to become a slight sower grape in the squad which we all know Karanka would certainly not of put up with and at the end of the day we are getting 3.5m to add to are transfer budget, which will most likely be put to a striker something that we need rather than having extra money sat on the bench. Don't get me wrong he was a very very gifted player but if we are all honest he was never consistent enough in any case. I couldn't of put it better myself, I called him a disgrace for being well overweight for pre season and got hammered by this forum, so they won't agree with you but you are right.

Now that Tomlin in going I wouldn't be surprised if we put in one last bid that is somewhat bonkers. Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Would have liked more Add-ons for Tomlin, but £3m in the hand is better than £5m not been paid and having to sell someone we actually want to keep.. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Again with the negative vibes man... We didn't want to keep him , some on here were calling him a disgrace and we have made a tidy profit. We have to assume that Gibbo is happy with the deal or it wouldn't have happened ansd as ABH said who is to say that the reason we took the deal is because its an up front type of payment. I quite liked him but in crunch games (Watford away / Wembley) he was annonymous and will struggle to get in the team ahead of Downing/Stuani. Suspect he will be plying his trade in the champo again next season when we pass Bournemouth on the way up. For me its simple we either trust the self made multi millionaire chairman to do what is best for the club or we don't. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 And what's up with this Andujar keeper? jHalden has been talking about him all day and mentioned 700k and that he is nearing a move to Boro. Is there anything substantial in that rumour? Sounds like a player that is way too good to drop into the championship and a very low fee too. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 BTW there is a sell on clause on profit owed to Peterborough for Tomlin Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Pebble 10 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Would have liked a bit more for Tomlin, but I suppose someone has to go if we're to continue spending. Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 313 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think its cheap. If we were a Prem club and bought a player with Tomlins ability and record I would think £3m was a good deal. But we dont know the ins and outs of the whole situation, and a whole revamp of the forward line is what we had been promised... Link to post Share on other sites
