Have we got a chance in hell of signing him?
I think he's class not sure that he's premier league level but would be a fantastic acquisition for us.
The best we can hope for is another season-long loan. He's what we've been missing for many a year.
It's often banded around on this message board that "so and so would walk into any top six Championship side" - I believe Tommy Doyle truly would.
Am I the only one not signed up to the Tommy Doyle fan club ? A couple of good moments last week but he seems anonymous for most of the games I've seen him play.
Put me in midfield with Pack Bacuna and Vaulks and I'd look impressive
Well at least interested 😁
I think Doyle is a decent signing and I hope we get him on a season long loan in August
That's the rub, Eric. You're bang on in my opinion. We haven't had a midfield player with the ability to look up, play a pass and follow it since, since......? Doyle is assertive on the ball, everything is about getting the ball forward, and at pace, you can see that he has been coached at a club who play that way. He's attempting to play the game in the correct way, to many of our fans, he looks like some kind of footballing revolutionary, he isn't, not yet, maybe never. It just shows us how starved of a decent assertive midfielder we as fans have been for so many years. I do like him though.
That was a classy goal he scored at Huddersfield and there are little moments of high skill from him in every game he plays, but I agree that he doesn’t dominate games (that said, apart from the occasional Joe Ralls performance, what City midfielder has done that in recent years?), he shows his inexperience at times and I expected better from him from dead ball deliveries - I’d still love to have him here on loan next season though.
Does anyone care to comment on my assertion that he'd walk into any of the top six Championship sides?
(do remember, Harry Wilson was also accused of being anonymous in games for us).
Plenty of cardiff fans that have not seen this type of player for us have seen eed them for plenty of other teams though.. be it in our league or through the many games on TV these days..
Yes he stands out because of what we've been missing in the team, but I also think he's decent at what he's been brought in to do as well
I think what has certainly helped him (and probably Wintle) is coming in fresh and not have the fear/ baggage/ terrible coaching that the rest our our squad had. Confidence and a bit of arrogance are a big asset too IMO.
