The Nottingham Post reports that Nottingham Forest are not in the market to bring Lee Tomlin back to the City Ground.

Forest boss Aitor Karanka has indicated his squad is ‘complete’ with at least 25 players ready to provide competition and quality in every position on the pitch.

So was Karanka right to pass on Tomlin? Would he have been a good signing for Forest?

Why on earth would they be?

I saw some rumours linking them and I nearly spat my tea out over my laptop.

Lee Tomlin, with the greatest of respect, is a bottom half striker at best.

Nottingham Forest are gunning for promotion and have been buying very good players all summer.

This was always one to avoid and it is no shock they’ve chosen that option.

Jay Taylor

Are 13 new signings not enough?

Despite being on loan with Nottingham Forest last term, the Cardiff man is now out-of-favour for the newly promoted side.

If Forest wanted him back they would have gone in for him during the summer, the fact they did not speaks volumes.

The calibre of player that Aitor Karanka has acquired is far superior to what the former Peterborough man possesses.

Tomlin probably needs Forest more than Forest need him.

Sam Rourke

I'm not surprised.

Forest have strengthened considerably in the midfield and attacking areas, and Tomlin would have struggled to get into the starting XI.

He'd have been a superb option off of the bench, but it seems Karanka felt it was not worth pursuing.

George Dagless

Probably isn't actually that surprising.

Forest have signed a mass of attacking players - they don't need Tomlin now.

I thought that they might go for him at the start of the summer but now it makes sense to not be interested.
