He's the best creative player at the club but also appears to be the best at royally taking the pi$$ also.

Sadly in football not keeping yourself in a condition to actually do your job doesn't result in being sacked but seeing your contract out with your feet up.

The club cannot be conned into giving another contract to him.

Re: Lee Tomlin

When considering the contract extension after he rises like a phoenix at the end of his contract realise that once the contract is signed we will be employing can't be @rsed Lee Tomlin and not hungry and fighting for a new contract Lee Tomlin.

Let him go and be fatter than some of the fans elsewhere. He is taking the mick out of the club and the fans.

Re: Lee Tomlin

I'm looking forward to when we don't have to talk about him anymore. His lack of effort to keep himself in shape is a disgrace. I wonder what the rest of the squad think of him.

Stopped caring about him after the Blackburn game where he was sent off for acting like a child.

Re: Lee Tomlin

The money can be used anywhere else in the squad to better effect.

Tomlin could be the most gifted player in the world or the worst player. Sadly there is no difference for the money paid while they are not playing.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Will never play for us again

What a waste (or is that waist?)

Nobody will have him at our level. He'll be lucky if a club like Charlton or Swindon are daft enough to take him.

Not sure that's entirely fair, this time. They rushed him back to get promoted in 2020, it nearly worked but it set him back. They rushed him back again, and got injured again. Tomlin has also many, many issues that he's spoken about. I do agree though, looking forward to him either getting back and playing regularly or parting ways in the summer.

Well, we can certainly rule him out playing regularly I think.

When was the last time he played say half of the games in a season for a club he was at?

Season before last with us.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Sooner he's off the wage bill the better.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Surprising.

Less surprising is this is his fifth or sixth season with us now and he has averaged around 10 games in each.

The money could and should be used elsewhere.

Re: Lee Tomlin

The main factor for me is his fitness and attitude seem to be deteriorating.

The fact he is one of only a few creative players in the squad should not be a factor in the decision either. That more highlights our recruitment of that type of player than it should be a factor in extending Tomlin's contract.

He's been injured for the best part of 15 months, and that is down to us pushing him too hard. Re his "attitude", his mental health issues have been in the public domain for a while. His body is breaking down but he was the bright spark in 19/20.
