Kevin Doyle! Quality player who I think would play well with gabby, plus with our finances he would be cheap and gettable.


I'd rather sign Mrs Doyle than him. He's fucking shit.

Shit, I forgot he played for the Dingles. In that case I think he is awesome and a dead cert for a hat trick at the weekend.

With MONs style of play I would disagree with that tbh mate. A player with good movement, natural finishing and ability to get on the end of crosses is what we need and I would pretty much class that as a "poacher".

Coincidently, I think Defoe would have been the perfect signing for MON last season.


I disagree completely, because if you put a 'poacher' in that team instead of Heskey/Carew, you sacrifice a lot of possession in the midfield, and if you put one in instead of Gabby then you sacrifice that front-running which is so necessary not only on the counter-attack, but for forcing defences deeper to give our midfield a little bit more space to play.

I asked my Wolves mate what he thought of him, he said

'He's a hard worker, put's himself about, but he's no goalscorer and he's not good enough for a top half of the Premier team and certainly not good enough if you want to break into the top 4.'

Some depressing names being put forward on here. Doyle ffs...... Once, just once, i'd like us to sign someone who'd genuinely make people sit up and take notice.

What does it matter if people take notice when we sign them. I don't care how much they cost, what nationality they are, even if I've heard of them or not. I want people to take notice after they start playing for us, like they did with Gabby, Milner, Dunne and Young. If we can find another four who make similar contributions, we'll be laughing, even if they come from the reserves.

We have the best defensive record in the Premier league, what did you think when we signed Dunne, Collins and Warnock?

The manager builds a team, he doesn't sign "star names" just so that people can sit up and take notice.

the time for players like Doyle is long passed. if you think we're near to 4th place, then the next level has arrived. if you could trawl round picking up promising youngsters and decent club players and compete, then the likes of man united and chelsea would be doing it. An established and probably expensive striker to compliment and challenge gabby is what is needed

I have to say that I agree with Greg. Doyle is a decent player and would be a good bench option for us, but nothing else. If we have aspirations of Top 4, we need to be buying that calibre of player.

Doyle would just become the next Harewood then eventually fuck off to the Championship on loan in 18 months after not playing.

Shame Louis Saha has signed a new contract.

Doyle is nowhere near good enough.

To push on we are going to have to sign players in one or two key positions who are better than our current best players in those positions.

Not every position, just a couple, and up front is the mist important. In no way does Doyle match that description.

You're the Poloce man from 'Allo 'Allo arent you? :)

I agree though. Doyle isnt good enough for us and we need to concentrate the resources on one or two top class players rather than more filler.
