Well one of these is clearly wrong. There should be no reason for either to be, so the only thing I can think of is Tomlin's contract has an option of a years extension. If that is the case why was it not in the original article (linked from his player profile) or ever mentioned before? If this is the case I am obviously delighted.

I'd love both to stay obviously. Hopefully that little extra can be found in the budget to convince them by letting Yoffe move on and using Shariff around the first team (from what I have seen in pre-season so far Shariff is better by a small distance), negating the need for another striker to join the club.
