I think a midfiled of any of Ralls wintle sang Bowen when fit gives us the options we need and if add Doyle to that then great because as far as I am concerned vaulks pack and bacuna can rot in the under 23s until they go or if someone is stupid enough to offer 50p for them then let them go - they have had their chance and added or offered practically zero to our efforts
Bacuna and Vaulks just aren't good enough, in fact, i'd say that they were poor footballers. Ralls, although never in the mould of a composed and weighted player did have something apart from what he offers now. I'm not saying that he would have ever been that player who could do those things that we need so badly, but i'm quite sure that the likes of Slade, Warnock and to a lesser degree Harris, took away any ounce of creativity he may have possessed.

Agree with that but I still think we are a poorer side without Ralls - he definitely brings something to the side that the others don't - whether he gets overtaken by new recruits or younger players coming through then so be it but for me he needs to be in the midfield as it stands 👍

Wonder if he’ll bring his Ma? Ideal in the canteen, “g’wan, g’wan, g’wan, will ye not have a cuppa tea now, sure”
Re: Tommy Doyle - Man City midfielder linked for loan
Sounds exactly same type of player as Sam Bowen from what I’m reading from Man City fans on twitter.
Its being suggested on Twitter Bowen possibly going out on loan.
Loaning out Bowen to give him first team experience and bringing in a player on loan who is younger and just as inexperienced is a bit of a kick in the guts for him I’d say.

I was agreeing with you. I think it would be ridiculous to not give Sam Bowen time for a loanee.

Be nice to inject some youth into the squad.

yeah like I said I thought it was a strange one. I can only assume that they think Doyle is better than we currently have already. if Bowen gets some consistent game time at a good level then I wouldn't have an issue with a loan for him. we are likely to need him next season with ralls, vaulks and pack possibly all out of the picture, so he needs to be wherever he can get the most minutes.
another possible consideration is that we are cultivating some good relationships in terms of loaning players.
now we don't have any premier League money, loans are going to be an important part of any future transfer windows. it is probably as important as developing the youth and signing lower league players with potential to improve.
if we do well for Doyle, it might stand is in good stead for future loans from man city which isn't a bad thing.

I was thinking this as well.

I just read this on the other board that it won't be happening?
" City have NO funds and the Daily Mail are wide of the mark BIG time, we could not afford his wages "
So believe it when i see it and is he better than Bowen?
I doubt Rob Phillips would report on a story if he didn't have pretty concrete information that this was happening.
Re: Tommy Doyle - Man City midfielder linked for loan
The WalesOnline journalists are still saying it won't happen

The same WOL journalists who then quoted Steve Morison after the game yesterday
‘Yeah, he is a player that we like, a player that we have looked at," Morison said of Doyle.
"Until it's done, let's not commit to anything just yet.‘
Re: Tommy Doyle - Man City midfielder linked for loan
So, is he coming? It’s been “imminent” for a few days now.

According to Glen Williams this morning "Doyle deal close, just paperwork/admin stuff needing to be signed off", "Hamburg and Man C also involved so an extra layer is added to it, as opposed to straight loaning from one club".
Re: Tommy Doyle - Man City midfielder linked for loan
Glen Williams twitter earlier this afternoon:
Expect Cardiff to announce the signing of Tommy Doyle on loan from Man City later today.
The player is in Cardiff and everything has been signed off which needs to be #CCFC #Bluebirds
