Tomlin out for months after operation.

Exactly. Less than half a season. In three years. So we give him a two-year deal.

Because he was our best outfield player by a mile last season before lockdown. It's not like we're talking about Matthew Connolly or Jazz Richards.

Yes but what good is a brilliant outfield player if more than half the time he isn't playing because he is injured or "his head isn't in the right place" (Poor lamb) or he is just too damned lazy to train and get fit?

What good is he? none at all!

The Championship isn't exactly overflowing with players of Tomlin's ability. He'll probably contribute more than most of our squad this season even if he only plays 20 games.

It would be great if he had taken better care of his body when he was younger, but then he'd be playing for a mid-table Premier League club instead of us.
