Tommy Doyle

[FJRWolf]

Must admit after the first couple of times seeing him, thought he was gunna be a squad filler at best but he's much more than that. This run in the team has done wonders for him. Also while he's not especially quick, he's not dog slow either, in fact he's pretty athletic.
We're in great shape for CM with Lemina, Gomes and Doyle, Bouba for fresh legs coming off the bench too.

 

[Eastern Wolf]

Proving to be a steal at 5m - IF we trigger the deal. No reason why we would not. Stranger things have happened. With this trajectory he is worth at least 4 or 5 times that. This one is a no-brainer. Barring injury he’s only going to get better.

Pretty much my feelings on him, first few times I was a bit meh and didn’t think he had the legs for it but he actually gets round the pitch well.

Think defensively he’s great. While not like Lemina and Gomes with big tackles, he’s like neves where positioning is brilliant and he picks up a lot of interceptions with it

 

[Pengwern]

Rock on, Tommy! Great potential. all-round midfielder. Box to Box player!

Tommy, Tommy Doyle
Tommy, Tommy Doyle.

He’s a cracking player

nunes was very good at carrying the ball but didn't do it for 90 minutes

doyle i think is a 90 minute player

He was also very good at giving the ball away and he could do that for the full 90!

He'll never carry the ball like Nunes does, but he's a far better passer and happy to get stuck into the defensive side of things, we got the better side of that swap plus a load of cash.

Yes, I used to love watching Nunes pick the ball up deep and run half the length of the pitch with it, absolute thing of beauty once every couple of games.

And then never know what to do with it.

Nunes was great at turning players and gliding forward with the ball. Probably as good as Cunha. I was always amazed, for such a highly rated midfielder, at how bad he was at passing, even pretty basic stuff.

He must be bought.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

5 million for this guy is going to be some business.

 

[Hawkguy]

I don't mean to say I told you so... but I did tell you all so.

The biggest issue with Doyle is that we needdddddddd to run 4 at the back to fit in all 3 midfielders. They're just so ****ing good, that we need them on the pitch. But you can't do that with Dawson and Kilman. Need Mosquera to excel in Spain and then become a starter here so we've got a speedy CB to cover. Toti is fast enough, but I don't think he's good enough to play in a 2.

Semedo - Kilman - FAST CB - RAN
Lemina - Doyle - Gomes
Sarabia - Cunha - Hwang​

Yes please. And that assumes no other incomings.

What a player! He just gets better each week. He is so classy and a cool head on the ball but is a feisty lad and was clearly loving it.

I'm a big fan of Joao Gomes but he is going to have to work hard to get himself back in the starting 11.

 

[sillytuna]

Did doyle do the long pass to cunha?

He was superb today. Everywhere and also the one player who was trying to get our lot up for it.

£5m is just utterly ridiculous. Worth four times that already.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Gomes needs to bide his time before getting back in I think! It's a great problem for GON!!!

I think it was Kilman.

Agree. I think the team has a better balance with the improving Doyle alongside Lemina.

 

[JOSWolf]

Needs signing up as soon as possible.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Wolves escaping from the Eithad with Doyle whilst trying not to wake up Nunes.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Needs signing up as soon as possible.

It’s done JOS. July 1st it’ll go through.

 

[SuperGran]

Needs signing up as soon as possible.

Already done jos

 

[SA Wolf]

Thought he was superb first half. A couple of misplaced passes second, but my MotM for sure. Stood up to be counted when Gomes , Lemina and Bouba left us short in midfield for various reasons.
And they told us McAtee was the better of the two.

 

[Ned]

Class again. Just keeps things ticking over nicely and is looking fitter and faster with the more games he plays.

 

[Starsky]

Always demanding the ball, leader in waiting.

Really top player.

 

[Jawwfc]

Think it's as good as done although we won't activate till as late as possible (rightly so) but 5 million is a steal, he is very much like Ruben in his play.

I though Joao would be a shoe in against united however he has got some work to do now to displace and of Doyle or Lamina.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Stuff of legend today.

Ran the game with the ball.
Taking the corner under a hail of bottles and patting the badge.
First over to the fans at the end.

Hilarious song too!

Love the guy, he's going to be a proper Wolf.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Quality player love him he’s getting better every game

 

[S G Wolves]

Was quality in the corner when the inbreds were throwing bottles at him.

Steal of the decade.

 

[Wulve5]

He gets it now aswell sign him up

 

[Skrilla]

Baffles me that he's only 22. He plays football like he's playing a round of golf, he's got every club in his bag! Have Man City got any other youngsters that Pep doesn't care about? Kabore and McAtee would be nice!

 

[Redhillwolf]

Seem to remember the last midfielder we signed for a bargain £5m was pretty decent too….;-)

 

[manchesterwolf17]

A key reason why we're scoring more goals and a better side in general is:

Lemina >
Gomes >
Doyle >

Neves <
Moutinho <
Nunes <

Whilst there were individual moments of brilliance, the midfield between 2021-23 was holding us back massively.

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but that rather disrespectful to Neves & Moutinho! What those 2 did for SEVERAL years was stunning. Let’s hope Doyle & Co continue for several years….

Nothing disrespectful at all. I referenced their moments of brilliance, but in general I just don't think in the last 2 years their strengths complimented what we needed in the majority of games.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Steal of the decade.

Or possibly "steel" of the decade

 

[Matt]

I absolutely love this lad. What a bloody bargain. He just gets it, too. Proper footballer. Gimme gimme gimme a ginger from City, his name is Tommy Doyle and he plays for the Wolves!
