Tommy Doyle

[WJ99mobile]

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.

On loan again maybe. Hes not getting anywhere near the Man City 1st team.

Depends if someone else who can afford him buys him or he gets a better loan.

No chance whatsoever of getting him permanently at the moment I’d have said.

Re: Tommy Doyle

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.

Re: Tommy Doyle

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.

Like much about the current situation, I think the quality of Doyle's performances are being overstated.

Agreed. A midfielder with a hint of talent would always look impressive against the background of the rest of our midfield.

Re: Tommy Doyle

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.

Re: Tommy Doyle

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).

Think he’d struggle to get in the Fulham side, I could see him being in the Bournemouth first team squad and he’d certainly feature in the first team at any of the other challenging sides as a substitute at worst.

I don't think he would. I reckon he'd be a decent squad player for almost any side in this division and he'd get plenty of game time at most of them, but he wouldn't simply walk into too many sides.

have you factored in the probability that he might look a lot better playing for a top 6 side than he does for us?

Yes. And the answer's the same.
