Karanka hints that Lee Tomlin wants Forest return
Thursday 24th May 2018
Lee Tomlin’s future is another issue that needs to be ironed out this summer with Cardiff City letting their mercurial playmaker go to Nottingham Forest on loan in the second half of 2017/18.
And Forest boss Aitor Karanka has been speaking to our colleagues at the Nottingham Post about the loan market and how the likes of Tomlin, Jack Colback and Costel Pantilimon all enjoyed their time at the City Ground.
Aitor Karanka:
"It is a market we will use, yes. It is important to have players like that.
But those players have to be players who can make the difference, just as they did in January.
You have only five loans available, which can be difficult. I need to think about our options carefully. But we will bring in players on loan, for sure.
The main thing for me is that all of them left at the end of the season, all wanting to come back here. It means that they felt really good here; they felt the atmosphere in the changing room and confident on the pitch."
"We will try to do our best, but they (Tomlin, Colback and Pantilimon) are all Premier League players now and our job is to convince them. But as a club and as a manager, we have done our best to convince them to return."
