Sometimes you DO know what you’ve got before it’s gone. Anyway, a very good move for him and he’s done well to get it. I hope he does very well there, will keep tabs on how he’s getting on from time to time. Well said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death in Vegas Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Would be pretty confident he is away from there by January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 He's much closer to home and is playing League football so I imagine that's mission accomplished for now. At least he's not rocked up at Thistle or Queens Park. Hope it works out for him. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I wish Tomi all the best and I hope he bangs in the goals for Swindon. Any mean spirited comments in the sea please. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Exactly! Some petted lips on here - I never got the negativity towards him (especially from the current manager...).Of anyone out there, the manager is the most qualified to speak about him. We have no idea what he was like behind the scenes but I can’t see why Bullen would make anything up about him. I wouldn’t have said he was being negative. Just honest about what kind of character he is. If the player had been willing to accept the wage we offered him then fine I’d have kept him but there was no way we should’ve gave into his demands and paid him way over the odds what he was worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen’s comments at the vision night about Adeloye were a bit coy, but he certainly left the impression that Adeloye does have an attitude problem of some kind. Maybe it was just a half baked attempt to scare off potential suitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was just a half baked attempt to scare off potential suitors. I don’t think clubs chasing him would’ve been paying attention to what was being spoken about that night. FWIW teams have their own concerns around his attitude as Strachan apparently called off Dundee’s offer for him due to these concerns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is utter conjecture. FWIW I find that pretty hard to believe given Dundee loaned Griffiths last season. Griffiths is literally the archetype of a player with attitude issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That's the away top bought. Didn't find much difference between the Large and XL actually so went with the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffiths is literally the archetype of a player with attitude issues. Half the rumours on here are utter conjecture. Griffiths is a pal of McPakes and I’m sure that would’ve played a part in the move. I’m inclined to believe what Bullen has said on Adeloye as I find it hard to believe he’d lie for no reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod1967 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Actually think that the comments made by Bullen about Tommi and Maxwell were totally unprofessional, regarding possibly behaviour, what they were wanting next in their careers and what he thought they would get, think he should stick to organising his current team/players and see if he can develop his own career ,which up to now in management is fairly poor/dire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about players and managing his own team aren’t mutually exclusive. He can do both. Some people are just very touchy when it comes to Tomi being criticised. It’s very bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look good, material is maybe a tad thin, at least compared to the Scotland home top, if you bought one of those. be interesting to see if the lettering holds up because they are all individually glued on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as touchy as you are about being called out for posting drivel about Dundee passing on Tomi because of attitude tbf. Tomi is gone. I get that some people are hurting and some never liked the guy for reasons. Just let him go. No need for the character assassination. Wish him well and move on. I find it bizarre to do otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
