He’s a championship player, why not just accept that Tommy and sign a new deal with release clause. Exactly! He has been severely misled over the last 12-24 months. Should not even have a release clause now if he did want to come back. Sure, he may get more money from these deals than what was on the table but basically hitting his financial ceiling with this deal. I don’t see potential for any higher than this level. 14 minutes ago, Glen hump said: All the clubs named have a better chance of promotion than us Burnley? Sure agree 100% but does he play there?

Capman Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It is an interesting reflection on the level of ambition of the club that Tommy appears to be on his way to another championship club. I have been saying for some time that I do not believe the hierarchy at the club have what it takes to get us into the premier league and nothing I have seen this summer changes that view. I fear another season where we flirt more with the bottom three than the top six. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, that could be a valid reasoning. It seems a bit uninspiring and unambitious though, especially if he doesn't go to Burnley (Sunderland are a very big club but they don't really seem to be threatening the next level). I do think the clubs that are showing interest are proving those of us that see Tommy as decent Championship level right and those that thought he was far better than that might have been over egging him.........
