Plenty of players, and you can't name one from the last 10 years? I see.
This article confirms what you are saying - very few Championship players are in fact getting signed by EPL clubs.
This article notes a record low of only five Championship players signed as of August 17 2013 in the transfer window prior to this season:
And then I'm guessing probably a handful in the next transfer window in January.
In fact, more EPL players go the other way - sold or on loan to Championship clubs. I thought on watching the Ipswich v Bury game last night replayed on Sommet Sports that Ipswich's best player was pacy, tricky winger Jonny Williams, on loan from EPL club Crystal Palace.
I personally think Tommy has found his level and although he's a good Championship player, he won't get much interest from EPL clubs.
Playing for Leeds is about the only way to get picked up by a Prem team. Have a look at all the ex-Leeds players at Norwich.
