    Indeed when he played for West Ham, which is probably the only reason his name is cropping up in rumours now he has been released by Palace.

    Only for five weeks. Made less than thirty appearances in the last four seasons combined…not one for me.

    A Tomkin is actually an archaic British weight / measure for the sale of cheese. 1 Tomkin = 2 Firkins = 112 pounds.

    And however mature the Tomkin is now, it's definitely not worth investing in except to bait a mousetrap

    Here's a post from "Ghost of Clough" on a Rams forum. He's done some homework on this and come up with some suggestions

    QUOTE GK
    Replacement for Wildsmith IF he doesn't sign a new deal
    Possible options: Chris Walton (Ipswich), Matt Ryan (AZ Alkmaar, Netherlands)

    CB
    Cashin and Nelson to remain as starters. I think we'll stick with 3 at the back next season so would prefer a new starter in the middle of our defence - an upgrade on Bradley. Nyambe, Bradley, and Forsyth (assuming his contract is extended) acting as cover. Rooney loaned out.
    Possible options: Cameron Burgess (Ipswich), Filip Helander (Odense, Denmark), Syb van Ottele (Heerenveen, Netherlands), Shawn Adewoye (Waalwijk, Netherlands), Hasan Kuruçay (Braunschweig, Germany)

    RWB
    Ward and Wilson to have 6 months to prove they can step up and remain injury free. Review in January

    LWB
    One of the tough decisions to make. We have Elder who had a horrid season with injuries, Sibley (if he extends his deal) who is still learning the role, and Forsyth (if he stays). Depending on budget, I would be looking at a new signing, but could leave it until January
    Possible options: Sam McCallum (Norwich), Marc Nielsen (Hvidovre , Denmark)

    CM
    With Adams, Smith and Bird leaving this summer, our end of season midfield 3 needs completely replacing. If Hourihane has triggered an extension and we keep Thompson, it means those two plus Fornah our our backup mids. I could see us loaning out one of those younger players and siging a 4th CM this summer
    Possible options: Will Vaulks (Sheff Weds), Freddie Potts (West Ham), Joe Williams (Bristol City), Alan Browne (Preston), Ebou Adams (Cardiff), Connor Barron (Aberdeen), Herbie Kane (Barnsley), Deroy Duarte (Fortuna, Netherlands), Robin Fellhauer (Elversberg, Germany)

    W
    If formations this season are anything to go by, we'll need players who can fit into a 3412 and a 3421. Logically, that means players who can play out wide. We already have Mendez-Laing and Blackett-Taylor under contract, with rumours of Barkhuizen triggering an extension. 1 new signing who can also play central will be needed.
    Possible options: Chris Willock (QPR), Lazaros Lamprou (Excelsior, Netherlands)

    CF
    John-Jules, Gayle and Waghorn out, with Collins hopefully signing a new deal and Brown being drafted into the first team. Two new CFs needed. I'm undecided if it would be best to offload Washington to free up some budget for other positions, or keep him as a fringe player.
    Possible options: Harry Leonard (Blackburn), John McAtee (Luton), Sam Gallagher (Blackburn), Tyrese Campbell (Stoke), Sinan Karweina (Klagenfurt, Austria) UNQUOTE

    My take on the Dutch players mentioned...

    Matty Ryan would be a good shout as keeper, however, although he's "out of contract", AZ have qualified for Europe again and I reckon they'll make the lad an offer

    Syb van Ottele has been a regular for Heerenveen this season. Reasonable defender but less capable than Nels/Cash and comfortable on the ball, possibly not physical enough for the SBC. 22 years old and 6'1"

    Shawn Adewoye has been a regular for RKC Waalwijk this season but not physical enough for the SBC. Results this coming weekend could see RKC in the relegation playoffs. 23 years old and 5'11".

    Deroy Duarte has been a regular for Fortuna Sittard this season but, imo, isn't good enough for the SBC despite being a Cape Verde international. Results this coming weekend could see RKC in the relegation playoffs. 24 years old and 5'10".

    Lazaros Lamprou has been a regular for Excelsior this season but, imo, isn't good enough for the SBC despite 8 goals and 5 assists this season. He'd be up against better defenders most weeks. Results this coming weekend could see Excelsior in the relegation playoffs. 26 years old and 6'0".

    Ethan Erhahon was widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in League One last season, Lincoln City age 22, however value could be north of £2 million.

    Josh Murphy, winger at Oxford Utd, out of contract a Derby target apparently.

    Motm against Bolton in the play off final…looked genuinely quick.

    So…so far that’s…Herbie Kane, Josh Murphy, Josh Windass, Ebou Adams, Ethan Erhahon plus a keeper plus £300k for CBT and some Dutch/Danish enquiries.

    Interesting to see how many come to fruition.

    I'll bet a quiet pint that no more than 1 of the above named individuals excluding CBT who's already a given.
