Tommy Doyle joins on season long loan

[LewishamBlade]

Can’t be too positive now can we?

He’s just not that sort of player, issue with pointing that out? Didn’t think so, run along

 

[Greenwich Blade]

As a forest fan I whole heartedly agree although we're learning it's easier said than done to keep them after

Been steering clear for a week or so but thought I'd just say I think this guy is set to an absolute steal for you. Seen a little bit of him and think he's got that making things tick vibe. One worry with that sort of player at 20 is if the rest of the team are a bit poo, they find it hard to drag the whole team forward but this could be a massive coup if the rest of the team is where it needs to be.

No need to steer clear; we can have a decent conversation with you, unlike your fellow-red from Notts who thinks he's clever but definitely isn't.

bum, bum

That's the Ahmedhodzic thread pal.

Problem is that when they've got promoted, their value goes up exponentially.

Was same with Dean Henderson. We tried to buy him, but Man Utd wanted too much.
If you have negotiated a loan-to-buy, I wouldn't be surprised if you pay less now, than we were willing to pay 2 years ago, because he's been sat on his arse for 2 year.

Very good player, but he’s not an MGW type for those thinking he is

Guardiola suggests he might be.

"Tommy Doyle looks a perfect fit for Paul Heckingbottom and Sheffield United next season. The 20-year-old is heading to Bramall Lane on a season-long loan deal, which is expected to be confirmed today.

The midfielder, who played as a number 10 when he lined up for Cardiff against the Blades last season, has played in a central midfield role for Pep Guardiola but the Spaniard believes his best position is actually further forward."

Do hope he can gradually grow into that role this season. Cos our resources are very much limited

I’m just saying. You’ve been sounding the alarm on multiple threads about our recruitment. Here we have a potential loan of high quality, I think we can all agree, and your first comment is on the negative end of the spectrum? There’s no issue pointing out he’s not the same sort of player as MGW but I’m not sure that’s a comparison being made.

I think he is more highly thought of now than MGW was at the point of joining us !
If he progresses as MGW did we have the makings of a decent team.

He could be a great player Doyle, but he isn’t (well, hasn’t been) an MGW type so we do still have that hole to fill. Unless we believe he can play further forward

 

[Chingo]

Watched the lads highlights clips and he looks more a Norwood type to me , lets hope peps right about him

Fair enough. His chance creation stats look good. Maybe Whitney is being groomed for the MGW role

Possibly a Berge scenario whereby pushing him further forward is the way to go.

Maybe , buts he’s got some “ping” on him going by his highlight clips!

What's his pointy arm like

If we do get him we'd best spend the Summer trying to improve Baldock's crossing, because that's where nearly all of Doyle's passes go!

Or hope for medical miracles with Bogle.

 

[bertieblade]

His manager reckons he is suited to a number ten role but can play anywhere in midfield.
well worth waiting for !

 

[blades78]

Described as a set piece specialist. Will we actually score regularly from corners and free kicks?

So was Norwood.

Lancashire lad too.

Are we sure he's not just a Championship Manager Regen of Norwood come early?

Can we stop this Whitney bollocks. It's Withnail!

I propose a truce

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Maybe there's something of a Foden comparison, came through as a midfielder but ends up further forward. Could be what Pep is thinking

So there it is

We have the next Foden

Lets put a lot of pressure on him

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Agreed. Now, we want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!

 

[jt64]

Reminds me of Gerrard

In that case, I look forward to him diving for a penalty then heading for a few celebratory shandies and punching the DJ

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Bit harsh labelling him a cunt afore he’s even pulled on the jersey

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Best idea I’ve heard in years.

 

[robbiez666]

If Pepe wants him to play in AMC, then I guess we'll be playing him in AMC. I wonder where Sander will be playing.

Sander was at his best last season when he played as an attacking midfield duo with MGW, so I can't him playing with this lad being a problem.

 

[Davalon]

A good young player and proper prospect but his games and roles so far are definitely like you say.

He may well be capable of adapting, Pep obviously knows far more than me, but at this point his performances aren't MGW-esque.

Irrespective, I'll be pleased if we get him.
