Who’s likely to buy him? And for how much?
It is a good point to raise, we are so heavily reliant upon him, while being so injury prone, ageing and only going to go down hill from here on out, may be right to take a proactive approach.
although all that being said, I would like him for one more season.
No. And we made the playoffs, why can't we do so again?
Looking like the same ageing squad next year so mid table at best. We cannot score goals and if we fail to sign Moore it shows how the club is viewed by players. For the sake of his international future I though City were a given.
If it was a premiership club in for him I could understand, but Middlesbrough !!!!
Yes it sounds pessimistic I know but I am of the opinion that our fantastic finish to the season, ending up 5th, was punching well above our weight.
When I look at the strength in depth of next seasons championship, I feel that City need 3-4 signings (not squad players but first eleven) to continue to move on.
Since my original post I am hearing that Kiefer seems to on his way here, so I feel a lot more positive.
Incidentally, are your comments re Wilson tongue in cheek or is there some reality that we could land him ?
Liverpool have clearly stated that he is not available for a loan deal
No way.
Tomlin has ability that no other in the side has. His passing and vision are as good as most in the EPL, and he scores goals.
His fitness might be called into question at times but even when not fully fit, he can influence games.
Wouldn't get a huge fee and even if we did, he would need to be replaced.
I'd like to see us bring someone in to challenge Tomlin or even play alongside him.
Make a creative midfielder top priority.
christ no , hes a game changer , premiership class if he was mid twenties
For a side looking for a top six finish again hes vital
Great idea, lets sell the only footballer in the club
Should we sell him?
Pros:
- something to talk about during the silly season
Cons:
- everything else
On balance: no, it would be lunacy.
I'm interested in people who say 'stay in the champ for another year and rebuild', build with what money? Unless you've just come up from league 1 the goal should always be the play offs and Tomlin gives us that quality that sets us from other teams. Plus how much would we get for him? 2/3m if that. That isn't going to 'build' anything, it'll weaken us and strengthen another champ club because I can't see him going to a PL side.
Keep him unless someone came in with daft money, given the issues at the moment that isn't going to happen anyway
We wouldn't get an awful lot for a 31 year old who has only proved himself at Championship level in his career - if it's the same Tomlin that turns up in 20/21 that we had in 19/20 then definitely keep him and try to ensure that he no longer stands out like a sore thumb when it comes to creativity and flair.
Not at present.
We do, however, need to bring in a player who can fulfil the role for a full game, with Tomlin available as a backup or cover.
Yes we urgently need another creative attacking player who can play the full 90 minutes if necessary and use Tomlin in the last 30 minutes if required.
However like all our players if we get the right offer, approx 2m for Tomlin, he will be gone! Every footballer or Manager will go for the right price!
