Chindie Posted June 2, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2010 I don't think it paves the way at all. I think it's McCarthy creating a brilliant partnership. Now whether he can hang onto Doyle is another thing, but I don't think signing Fletcher in any way expedites Doyle's departure. Doesn't bode well for Ebanks-Blake though. Aye, think similar myself. Doyle does the donkey work and chips in a few, Fletcher plays off him and becomes their main scorer. Maybe. But still, not a bad partnership I'd guess. Cerainly doesn't mean we're going to be gunning for Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 got a feeling its going to be a very quiet summer for us!really do hope not tho Very surprised you think that given Shorey, Sidwell, Luke Young, Beye are all likely to go and likes of Milner and Luke Young might aswell. So we're going to have to sign some replacements for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Never under estimate the appeal of playing for a big club though If us or Arsenal as rumoured but in a firm bid I'm sure Doyle would look to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtender1987 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 id too like doyle, for a small man gets stuck in and knows where the goal is! He did bloody well on his own against us at villa park! Imagine him with either gabby or carew or even should i dare heskey! Poucher were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Doyle also seems loyal to McCarthy and will probably stay around for a year unless an astronomical bid is made for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Wolves wouldn't sell Doyle for any less that 12 million, which in my opinion is to much money. Same way we wouldn't want to sell Milner for less than double what we paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Doyle wouldn't be a disasterous signing by any means. Decent player and would chip in with a few goals. Don't think he'd be the goalscorer we'd be looking for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 hasnt doyle already said he isnt leaving wolves? was on SSN not so long back if he isnt paying much interest in joining arsenal or man united why would he be interested in us. Kevin Doyle is paying little attention to rumours claiming he is a target for Arsenal and Manchester United. The Irishman saw his profile rise considerably during the 2009/10 campaign, helping him to draw admiring glances from afar. Doyle was one of Wolves' most consistent performers over the course of the season, helping them to comfortably avoid relegation out of the Premier League. He has only been with the Midlanders since last summer, but that has done little to curb speculation regarding his future. A number of top clubs are believed to have been impressed by his work rate and hold up play, with possible bids believed to be in the pipeline. Confidence Doyle is refusing to read too much into the stories, though, and claims he would be more than happy to start next season with his current employers. He told Sky Sports News: "There is always a bit of speculation. It's good for your confidence but that's about it. I have no reason to think I will not be at Wolves next season. "I have no reason to believe otherwise and I will be very happy if I am. I have enjoyed my year there so far. I think we have done very well and I feel I have done well there too. It's been a good year for me. "I think everyone at Wolves has had a great season. We were favourites for relegation and we have comfortably, in the end, survived with three or four games to go and played some good football along the way. "It's flattering to be linked with other clubs, it shows how well the club has done this season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Once again, I am going to throw the offer out there of using myself on a pay-per-game contract. I am ready to take on the world. Sign me up MON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 What a difference a year makes we were linked with him when he was at Reading and I think 99.9% were against us signing him now it seems quite a few favour signing him Have we lowered our expectations ? or is Doyle suddenly better than we all thought ?

briggaman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I still don't want Doyle. If we want to break into the top four then we need to start looking at a higher calibre kind of player. He would be a good squad player I suppose, yet I don't think he would be the solution to our goalscoring problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a good squad player I suppose, yet I don't think he would be the solution to our goalscoring problems. I'm not too excited at the idea of signing Doyle. He'd score goals for us but I agree with you in that he's not the higher calibre of player that we should be looking at. If we keep Milner but sell the fringe players - Sidwell - £4m ? Beye - £1.5m ? Luke Young - £4m ? Davies - £6m ? Shorey - £1.5m ? NRC - £5m ? (all random guesses..) That's over £20m to spend (plus a possible addition from Randy of a few million). I'd be happy with us spending £15m on a quality striker and £5m on a right back. I'd even be happy with us keeping Cuellar at rightback or bringing in a cheap youngster like Clyne - if it meant that we could fork out £20m on a top class striker.

John Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Have we lowered our expectations ? or is Doyle suddenly better than we all thought ? Doyle has had a decent season with Wolves Tony so he is now proven and less of a risk. But, I would like to see us aim a little higher (OK a lot higher). :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Super Kevin to replace Heskey and i'll be happy. Then get another striker to come in and get the goals when Gabby goes on his second-half-of-the-season struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
