    Lee Tomlin wants to play for the Bluebirds

    Apparently, he's lost two stone and wants to play for the Bluebirds. Presumably, he'd still be living in Leicester.

    Kettering Town is about is level these days.

    I'd have him back in a flash. We're desperately lacking creativity in the final third. If we're to believe what's in the interview then Warnock may have performed miracles here. If he can get Tomlin firing on all cylinders - physically and mentally - we'll be a different proposition next season.

    Where do you play Reid if Tomlin plays? Tomlin clearly is the type to need to play week in week out, otherwise his mental state and fitness drops off. We should be building a team around Reid.

    I see them as different types of players and even ignoring this, they don't both necessarily need to start every game. I could see Reid as a second striker with Tomlin pulling the strings at the tip of the diamond.

    I'm a massive Bobby Reid fan, so I'm biased but I think he's the sort of player we should be looking to play every game. I think Tomlin could surprise us all but I think he's third in whatever position behind the striker we play, with Reid and Paterson as first and second choices in Warnock's mind.

    Zohore/Paterson Reid
    Murphy/Hoilett Tomlin Mendez-Laing
    Cruncher
    Could be one hell of an attack minded side.

    I'd be willing to take a chance on both Tomlin and Zohore. If they don't work out then plan B.

    I know that sounds funny but he's got a better goalscoring rate in the Championship than Zohore and he was a better forward in the Premier League than Zohore.

    If we're playing Paterson up front vs Wigan, something will have gone horribly wrong in the summer.

    I don't disagree, but I don't think we can just dismiss someone who has our best Championship goals per game ratio since Frazier Campbell either. He's done nothing wrong to not be included at this level, as unorthodox as he is.

    Best Header we've got and a solid hard working player, but I agree we need to go all out for a goal scoring Striker!!!

    Repeating the same mistake expecting a different result is how Einstein defined insanity and that's how I see the Tomlin saga.
    I was speaking to a fella who coached him at Rushton and he viewed him as a wasted talent because of his eating and training.

    Spot on how many chances do you give these time wasters that can't be bothered to keep fit?

    Plan B for every occasion is Paterson

    Re: Lee Tomlin wants to play for the Bluebirds

    He posted photos of himself topless yesterday. My initial thought was that he was hoping to get on Love Island. He does look in good shape and has lost a hell of a lot of weight.

    Would love to see Tomlin or Reid okay everyweek as a 10 in behind the striker. However I can’t see Warnock not going with 3 midfielders in most games.

    Me too, I reckon him Vaulks and ralls will tear it up with Reid, Murphy, nml and zohore.......whoosh...tomlin always had the football brain just not the attitude or fitness....he could be a revelation.

    If his mind is in the right place

    Re: Lee Tomlin wants to play for the Bluebirds

    Tomlin has said all this stuff before and he always seems to lose weight when he wants something from another club. If he agreed to move to Cardiff I would be more sympathetic but past history suggests he always wants to live in the Leicester area and commute which is utterly ludicrous and shows a complete lack of commitment to Cardiff City.

    Agreed move to Cardiff he has enough money to buy umpteen houses and when he moves he can sell up at a profit, a nice little investment. If he s genuine he needs to commit himself!
