Chindie Posted August 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2012 I've always liked Doyle. If he scored more goals he'd be absolutely ideal for us - he works really **** hard, never stops moving and links play well. The problem is, since he's not a great goalscorer himself, we'd become reliant on him being a link for Bent and Gabby. Bent gets injured o Gabby doesn't cut it for a season once more and we're pretty toothless again. Add in Wolves charging the Earth for everything this summer and Doyle knocking on for 29... you could do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPS_777 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't think Dempsey will sign for us. Firstly because we cannot offer him the last big payday contract he would be after and although I hate to say it, a fair few of Fulham players would walk into our first team at present so not as though he would be playing with a better quality of personnel- unless Lambert sells him 'the project'. Really hoping for an attacking, athletic fullback in Olsson, Huddlestone for £3 million and nab Douglas whilst we are at it. Bendtner is a great shout as a partner for Bent. Next few days will be a rollercoaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Personally think the Doyle link is bollocks anyway, like I said, no quotes - seems like an agent fishing to get his man back into the Prem. Reckon we need better anyway, if we really want to make a go of things this season, and get a relatively decent 12th place finish or so, then we need some quality injected into the team. Can't see Lambert wanting to waste money away on Doyle as even if he has got some money to spend it won't be a great deal I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2012 Robbie Savage is more likely to turn out for us this season than Dempsey - whoever's made that one up is in need of their medication or higher than Jim Morrison following a good weekend in the 60s.

VillanousOne Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I thought Spurs and Liverpool wanted Ramirez - surely if they see we want him they'll dive on in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We probably couldn't do it in terms of fees or wages - but I just get a feeling Charlie adam might be on our radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we get in a few new additions I don't think 12th is realistic... Give me 15th - 13th now and i'd take it! I know it's hard to take but this season is just about staying up, especially with the windfall next year from TV rights going up. Like my dad said to me today, it would be just our luck to get religated the season before more ££ is pupped into the PL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that I would take 15th - 13th without a shadow of a doubt, but I think if Lambo is going to get to spend some money, it isn't going to be on players that he thinks will 'just keeps us up', if he's as good as we think he is as a manager then he'll be looking to buy players to get us a decent finish (not like McLeish as such). It's already been said earlier that the likes of Vlaar and KEA already look like good signings, so I have faith that any players he does bring in will be decent signings and not just random panic buys to stop us getting relegated.

troon_villan Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Holy shit, we went days without a decent link, now there's about 10 doing the rounds on twitter! Gotta love football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I like that we're being linked with players, would like Ramirez, would probably take Doyle tbh as well, but it depends on how much Wolves ask for him, considering they've let players of his ilk go for far too much £££.

Dodgyknees Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We are being linked with Downing. Now, that excites me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Doyle wouldn't be a good option - Wolves have just recouped a shedload of money and they won't want to have to replace 2 strikers instead of just one, plus they are sort of local rivals, so the price would be way higher than what he's really worth. He's the right type of player but the circumstances are all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Doubt United will want to let Anderson go to one of their rivals, and it does seem he is surplus to requirements for them, definitely worth a shout and would get the buzz going even on a loan - not too sure about Downing as he was a proper cock about leaving us, but if he plays anything like he used to then I guess it's another good shout. Don't know why I'm reading into all this shit though, only going to let myself down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Doyle is the type of player we could do with, he's excellent at holding the ball up and allowing others to play. However he's been rubbish for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it in the sense that we aren't one of their rivals, and United won't want him to go to one of their rivals, so unless he's off abroad then why not take a punt on him since I'm sure they wouldn't have an issue with him coming to a lesser Prem club that poses no threat to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
