O Shame. I  wish him luck.

O Let’s not let sentiment cloud our judgment! Decent money for him and Bilic knows best.

O Disappointed to see him leave but in Slaven we trust
O Tomkins will always be a Hammer, Good luck to him.
O Twenty eight –  never had a look-in for England… £10m plus add-ons… just goes to show that we are pushing on now and want a better player than Tomkins in the team.We paid roughly that much for Ogbonna and Payet!

O Great servant but he really made some boobs at times

O Great news – no more Tomkins at right-back!!!!!! 😀

O £10m good business

O Best of luck at your new club tomo sorry to see you leave

O This is the worst day of my life.

O Wish him all the best. A Hammer through and through just never pushed on to that commanding CB we required. A good solid player in his day and did brilliant at RB when asked recently. Good luck Tomo

O Head and heart time, for me! Heart says “good, loyal player, always liked him because he was brought up a Hammer” However, head says, “Great piece of business – there are much better defenders out there”.
O Put the money towards a 20+ goal a season striker 😉

O Ten million  for a player who would have hardly got a look in isn’t bad business. It was clear last season he wasn’t in Bilics plans. Win win all round and gives two of our younger players a chance

  1. “This is the worst day of my life”.Whoever said that is definitely in the frame for an Oscar!

  2. We do seem to have some very overdramatic fans don’t we Antman.
