Take a step back everyone, he was always going to go at some point. I wish him well and I'll cheer on 'Boro now that they've got him, as I do Norwich. Our expectations for this season as it was last season is upper mid-table, nothing more. Those expectations are still realistic let's just enjoy the season knowing that we're probably a bit more financially safe due to this as well.

Two hours ago our expectations weren't 'upper mid-table'.

Gutted :(

I hope we got more than £150'000 for him though.

Weren't they? Well if so then some of us had expectations too high IMO.

Not so sure about the 150k fee being quoted, then.

Well I've gotta say I really thought he'd be here for a little while longer, didn't think he'd go this late especially with the new FL season starting tomorrow! But obviously it was going to happen sooner or later, I'm obviously extremely disappointed that we've lost such a brilliant player, when he was on form I know I wouldn't have been the only one to be just amazed at some of the things he pulled off, especially some of the goals he scored, the one he scored against Kiddy was world class. Suppose Tuesday's display was a pretty good one to go out on but I really didn't think it would be the last time we'd see him, still it should be very interesting to see how he does in league 1 though.

Oh and where has 150k come from?!

The phrase 'undisclosed fee' is such a tease. :(

I swear Tommo played against Gateshead? I remember him nearly chipping the keeper at the end?

Guys calm down, the boy was too good for the Conference, look how he took the Baggies apart. If this keeps the club afloat (which it will) and we still have a club to support we should be bloody grateful to Cousins for accepting the deal.

The club is on it's knees, no sponsor, hyping ticket prices, any other signs? Oh yes, no Radio Diamonds license, dipping into the Supporters Trust to plug holes in the budget, I could go on and on!

Tommo didn't want to go to Crawley, they could have offered £300k and he still wouldn't have gone. I think we should all be laughing at Evens for even trying to get him. :lol:

Basically we know have a club to support because of this deal.

The club is bigger than one player, if we can bring in 2 or 3 starlets from lower down this can help us a progress as a football club.

We are a selling club now, let's accept it.

Good luck Tommo, you deserve to be in League One, if not higher!
