He wasn't very good for us. Alot of our fans get a bit excited when a player arrives who has the ability to look up and make a pass and maybe move into space, that's not alot to ask of a player so that probably tells us all we need to know in terms of of the club developing players, especially those that can play. It's evident that City fans are prepared to let other important aspects of the game that make a good player fall by the wayside, you can't really blame them (us) because lets be honest, we don't develop players or produce well rounded footballers as is evident with the Tomlin situation, his lifestyle and attitude has cheated fans of all of the clubs he has played at while earning a very good living, yet he seems very popular because he has ability on the ball. That's evidence enough for me to say that we don't produce or develop players.
