TOMLIN DEAL ON OR OFF?

Anyone remember that bloke -Alan Foggon I think - that we bought from Newcastle and Jimmy Scoular made him lose about three stone ? He was a bloody good player after that

think you have that the wrong way around. he played just 17 games and piled the pounds/stones on.

was decent for Boro after we sold him

Possibly. It was a while ago wasn't it. I do recall Sir Jim commenting on the matter. When you say Boro, you mean middles as opposed to Peter I expect , but whilst I'm aware of the Saxon origin of that suffix, I wonder whether it implies some affinity for fat football players ?

he was one of my early { my time as a Cardiff fan } disappointments. followed by Friday, Ingram and too many more.

yes it was middles and Tumlin has played for them too.

I think if he lost a couple of stone in two weeks he'd be invaluable in the Premier league.

that ship sailed mate. quite simply run out of managers prepared to take a gamble on him other than league 1 pay peanuts clubs..

bit surprised really as there were plenty on here claiming he was tearing the championship up with Forest last season...

Well they didn't want to sign him so he can't have been that spectacular
It is a shame though for him and everyone else because hes a talented player but not the first one who couldn't overcome his personal problems
