Doyle could probably play in front of Gomes & Lemina in a 4231/ 4213 sort of formation….
Just to reassure everyone - that detailed pundit research did not come from the mouth of that tool Jenas!I thought the same last night about rushing, I suppose it’s a fine line against a Brighton team with a high line and slow centre backs, you want the ball moving early and quickly to get the likes of Cunha and Neto onto it quickly.
Matt Hill's kid's playing for Bournemouth.Gawd. Now I DO feel old!
Yeah but he did give us the wonderful information about Gareth’s Bales pre match foodJust to reassure everyone - that detailed pundit research did not come from the mouth of that tool Jenas!
C'mon people, there must be someone out there.Getting better and better all the time.
Has a lot more energy than I initially thought, to go with his great passing range.
Be interesting to know if there's anyone who thinks we shouldn't take up the £4.3m option?!?

Funny … I’d have him in the middle of the three … but sitting a tiny bit deeper than the other two.Doyle could probably play in front of Gomes & Lemina in a 4231/ 4213 sort of formation….
Lots of ways you could set up 3.Funny … I’d have him in the middle of the three … but sitting a tiny bit deeper than the other two.
Must have got his height from his mother.Matt Hill's kid's playing for Bournemouth.
And his football ability..Must have got his height from his mother.
That’s the new “did you know Kilman played futsal” comment!Interesting fact from the commentator last night.....
Doyle's paternal grandfather, Mike Doyle, and maternal grandfather, Glyn Pardoe, were former professional footballers and long-time teammates at Man City.
Both men played in the 1974 League Cup Final against Wolves.
Yes great deal. Hope the club have McAtee in mind to join him in the summer.I couldn’t have been more impressed with Doyle, two footed, composure on the ball, crisp passing, spots a forward pass and a hammer of a shot off two feet.
£5m and £50+m in return for Nunes is daylight robbery!
Just proves that even Pep isn’t infallibleI may have mentioned it on another thread, but a Manchester City supporting friend of mine thinks we took City to the cleaners with the deal that saw Nunes go there and Doyle join Wolves. He would rather have kept Doyle and give him a few games to see what he could do. Instead they have paid £50m for a bench warmer.
Perhaps PEP stands for PE Practitioner...Just proves that even Pep isn’t infallible

So we could sign 12 Tommy Doyles for the fee Man City paid us for Nunes.
He's been very good for us in recent games, but, let's be real, he's nowhere near Man City level.
In terms of value, we've obviously got the better of the deal, but Nunes is a better player, and money doesn't really matter to City.
Exactly, I'm yet to see proof of that in the premier league.Nunes a better player? Really.
Nunes a better player? Really.
They are good at different things; Nunes better at carrying the ball and Doyle the better passer. On their day both can be match winners. On the other hand both can go missing. For value, Doyle wins hands down.Yes, if you're judging them only on ability - by quite a distance as well. Not getting into the best midfield in the world doesn't mean he's a bad player.
If you're judging on what's the better deal - Nunes for £50m, Doyle for £4.5m, then obviously we have the better end of it, by some distance.
Yes, for what we need in our team Doyle is worth much more than NunesThey are good at different things; Nunes better at carrying the ball and Doyle the better passer. On their day both can be match winners. On the other hand both can go missing. For value, Doyle wins hands down.
Sad to say it. but that’s the only thing I’ll thank him for!From what we are hearing about the financial situation, Nunes did us a massive favour by forcing that move.
