Kevin Doyle

Get someone in quick, every time the phone rings I think its BK finally got round to me. To be honest I havent played for ten years and the last thing I kicked was the bedroom chair when I got up in the middle of the night last tuesday.

One month ago i would,nt want doyle but now i,d take him we need numbers and some of these guys mentioned are better than nothing

If you had to choose between Doyle and Smith though - now there's a thought.

Not the best of options but that's the sort of stuff we're left with.

I'd take Smith for the reported 2M instead of paying 6M for Doyle.

 

[anchorman9]

Ah yes, 4m difference there, but 40-50k wages over 20-25k wages?

All hypothetical I guess, but better than reality at the moment!

But with those 6M I'd go to France and try to sign Fred from Lyon on loan. I'd be saving the whole 6M for the future transfer.

Sotnas, did Valente play for Portugal the other day, was he in the squad?

Nope. His time with the national team is long gone.

Don't believe he'll ever return.

 

[Neiler]

Doylers not for us!

He must be injured then, according to Moyes him and Howard where the only players missing this week.

I heard Antunes played left back, I thought Valente might have been on the bench.

 

[Richard Parker]

Doyle, Smith, not good enough.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Doylers not for us!

Are you Irish Neiler?

Are you Irish Neiler?

Yep hes a good player but wouldnt improve us, would be a comedown as an AJ or even Beattie replacement.

Any good young Irish players coming through?

Would McGeady be good enough for us? He's impressed me of late.

 

[Richard Parker]

Glen Whelan looked good vs Norway on Wednesday. Probably not our standard yet, but one to watch.

 

[Neiler]

McGeady's pretty well known, i am a fan but i think he would cost too much now for what he would give you. If he doesnt move to the Prem in the next two seasons i cant see him fulfilling his potential. He would take time to adjust to the Prem i think and wouldnt be an immediate hit, persoally i would prefer we spent the money on a Downing, Lennon, SWP. The fact O Neill hasnt been in for his at Villa for me speaks volumes.

No real up and coming players in the senior team bar Stokes (Sunderland) and Long (Reading). Neither have really lived up to their billing as yet and dont think either is for us. Worth a put may be Andy Keogh at Wolves he would definitely be a fans favourate, i really like Hunt as well but hes more of a cult figure rather then a player you would anticipate taking us to the next level.

Some players who have impressed me in the U 21's have been Garvin at Ipswich who i can see having a Prem future, Supple also Ipswich is a promising keeper and O Halloran a really stylish full back whos at Villa.
