Towards the end of last season, when Doyle was the lynch pin in midfield, it really did highlight what we're missing. He reminded me of Stuart McCall on speed, or Michael Brown minus the volleys. Did the running, did the stuff that looks easy because he made it look that way, and linked the play better than anyone else in the squad does. Pretty much the complete footballer by the end of the season. Norwood has a decent range of passing but he isn't mobile and can't time a tackle. Not really sure what Fleck offers any more and I'm hoping Slimane can give us something different but I don't see him having the legs or the drive to become that leader. Hope I'm wrong.
For the graft and all round playing ability though, we definitely need a Doyle type of player. I've seen £10million being bandied about and if that's the case, even being skint we should push every boat out we can to get him signed. If we don't have the cash, then we really do need to be scouring the football world for that one special player who can manage the game, but who comes at a price we can afford. There has to be one out there and with the scouting network we have, surely we can find one.
I'm not as doom and gloom as a lot on here, just looking forward to watching my team perform against the cheats and pantomime dames of the Premier League because win, lose or draw, I usually come away proud that we try to play the game right. We have good players, it wouldn't take a lot to make us a very good side.
