Don't worry, if this gets pulled off then they look like the idiots.



That is not true though is it?

The criticism of the opening poster was not the accuracy of the claim made elsewhere beforehand that Tomlinson may be signing for us but that he regularly pinches other people's posts and passes them off as his own in an apparent attempt to be " in the know"

I have been told its its Lee Tomlin Midfielder Bristol City, 28 years old, having medical with us now :thumbright: :thumbright:



Well I said Warnock would pay one big fee and people didn't believe me. Haha






New signing today

Pretty sure there will be many pretty mixed reactions.. he has been a quality player in the past, some might not be too impressed about where he's coming from,but so what!

Should be confirmed today/tomorrow - subject to passing his medical at Cardiff City

Re: UPDATED ' New signing today '

A mate of mine is a Wurzzel, and he's suggesting it's a fee of around £2.9m.

Additional comments from him about the player:

"Phenomenally talented on his day. Our best player in many ways. He was an absolute hero when he was here on loan two seasons ago. But...last season...he often doesn't show up, he can be a bit lazy and infuriating, and tries to beat too many men on his own. But when it comes off it's amazing! Basically drifted out of our team last year as we got our act together in the last third of the season - not a coincidence. Also tricky to fit into the team as he's not really suited to a midfield four and not really a second striker either. Will be sad to see him go in many ways but then I think most of us are over him now. Certainly that's the feeling on our forum. Although we'd rather he wasn't going to your lot! Be interesting to see how Warnock deals with him as he's tricky to manage."

Cardiff City fans delighted with the speculation Bristol City's Lee Tomlin could become a Bluebird
The midfielder is rumoured to be on his way across the Bristol Channel

The future of Bristol City midfielder Lee Tomlin has been uncertain for a few weeks and today that uncertainty has been increased that bit further.

Today it has been speculated that Tomlin is in talks in with Cardiff City, and could even been having a medical in Wales.

Regardless of how true it is, and the rumours are certainly not dying away, the very opposite in fact, it seems the Bluebirds fans would welcome him with open arms.
The Cardiff City Stadium faithful seem to all want him to sign on the dotted line for boss Neil Warnock, despite it being for very different reasons.

Some want him for his character, some for his ability, others are just pleased their club seem to be making moves to fill their current number 10 hole.

Warnock has been busy behind the scenes compiling players for a squad he genuinely feels is top six material as the Bluebirds boss seeks a personal career record of eight promotions.

The original post may have been edited since i logged on but i dont see how anyone has claimed to be in the know here - just speculation and rumours.

If the rumours were broken on a different site then great. Those who logged in to that site knew about this rumour a few hours before me.

I dont log onto other city cited so i appreciated the info.

Anyone concerned abour inter forum bragging rights needs to realise there are far bigger woŕries in this world than who spreads the latest gossip about possible ccfc transfers.

As someone who lives away from home it is good to have somewhere to come for all news city and for that i thank Annis and all the mods.

I really dont care if the news is second, third or fourth hand itS all news to me and this forum is where i come for it.

i dont see the ITK bit here at all as most of us have no idea who he is..
yes he finds Cardiff City things to post from elsewhere that he cant be bothered to change, but its hardly crime of the century especially as most rumours are wrong...{sorry 1927 but most rumours are ,not just yours }

The forum Wars is a bit daft really. I come on here to see if there are any "genuine" updates rather than be a slave to various other official or news outlets, I am a bit of a luddite so I find the whole twitter, facebook and RSS newsfeeds a chore (so don't engage).

This forum tends to get scarily close to far right racism even though I would consider myself centre right and CCMB is just a bit too luvvie dovey for me, and I feel that you need to be on the "in joke", but on Sunday mornings there are some good well thought out posts over there. I read, but generally rarely get involved in the debate.

One issue for me is the ad's. On my works extremely locked down PC I can't use ad blocker or anything other than explorer and the site is almost unusable, at home with all the add ons its fine.

Onto the main story with a night to think about it, I prefer this rumour to the Ledley rumour and he is a good player if he can get his act together and maybe the penny has finally dropped now he is about at his peak physical powers. You don't sign for Warnock if you want a holiday, so I live in hope. I watched the highlight last night of the Brizzle game and he was involved in everything, and it was a cracking goal. But, he still didn't look like a footballer taking it seriously.

He is a footballer, so I am happy :thumbup:

I think your spot on and I would rather them stay on their most of them have no life, we don't need sarcastic/ belittles on here, they can have them :thumbright: :ayatollah: :bluebird:/quote]


I'm 'bi' then as I like and post on both sites.


Me too.
I'll talk to anyone about City.
Life's to short for bickering with people who are basically on the same side


Me also, I don't get this them and us attitude, we support the same team! Most of us cross over anyway without taking childish swips


Tim, Cobra, African Bluebird and Eddie

I agree, I would rather City fans all get on, if you notice though,this forum hardly ever mentions the other one, in the past its never even slagged it down, we just want to talk football and I would rather it stay that way.
Its the usual suspects from over there who come on here to wind other City fans up, I have always kept this forum away from slagging other City fans down and it will continue that way :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:


I also respect City fans if they want to post on both forums or just one of them, its a free world and its good to have a choice :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Within the last 30 mins the most reputable source, so far, has popped up on Twitter.....

Still not confirmed though.

If the 2.5 or 2.9 mill is accurate then he must be happy with Saadi up top with Zohore and Ward covering ? Also Healy when fit?

Tony, this is the problem right now we've seen some good incoming action but I honestly think we're going to struggle to shift these players or we would have already. Hope it's not more paid up contracts.

It's official

I stand corrected!
