For three & a half years he has only started in 30 matches, Tomlin will go down as one of the most talented players, but one of the worst ever signings and costly beyond belief.
I would never ever have Tomlin in my team as he is 100% unreliable and has been for six other clubs, he will eventually shine later this season as he will want to be in the shop window.
His attitude stinks.

That would be a good article to do I think.
I reckon Cornelius would be top of any list.
8 million and 45k a week.
Tomlin’s situation would have changed a lot had we beaten Fulham in that play off semi.
He really did look amazing towards the back end of that season and there was no one who didn’t want him signed to a new contract at the time.

You are correct; but what happened prior to that (not just at our club) with Warnock shipping him out and subsequent managers seeing him as 'problematic' with or without his injuries, shows the guy has a poor attitude and no real motivation
I can only summise that playing in thr Premier League (ref. the Fulham match) would have got him an even bigger wage for sitting on his backside...?
He may come back, he may not; but value for money, he is possibly the biggest drain on the club ever, as at least ACorn wanted to play...

The Tomlin from the games up to and including playoffs would be an asset but let’s be honest what’s the likelihood of that?

Keep up, to one of the clutch of clubs who are circling for him and are willing to take on his wages.

Does anybody really think that there is a queue waiting to sign him, given his track record? I was really hoping that he would get himself fit as he has shown that he is capable of making great passes that can rip a defence apart, but I can't even remember when he last appeared.
