yes, he doesnt score loads of goals but with a team like ours his skills are invaluable. we scored 5 goals over the last week and by my reckoning doyle was heavily involved in at least 4 of them. himself and robbie is turning into a great partnership and doyle is critical to us

Im sorry but there is no way doyle will play for a top 4 club, fair enough he can hold up and flick on the ball but his movement and of the ball play is absolutely terrible, he doesnt make runs he chases balls, midfielders have to direct him where to go, any team that plays decent football would have no place for him. I think Arsenal was his slight hope of playing up that part of the table and I would rate Van persie well ahead of him, Chamakah is coming with a big reputation and Wenger isnt likely to spend money replaceing his third choice striker (bendtner) when there is only a marginal difference between him and doyle. Villa would be the highest finishers that would take him.

All those commentators who praise his off-the-ball work must be absolutely demented then. "Terrible," you say?

Sorry just to clarify, i mean in an attacking sense, i dont doubt hell chase defenders down all day, which is what commentators praise more than anything, and i prefer to watch players and judge them for myself as opposed to rehashing what a coupe of commentators say

I still think you're way off the mark.

I admire him as a player anyone can see he has ability, there are plenty of Irish players i rate, I just think doyle is well over rated and will not play top four, time will tell but dont wait forever :)

I think Doyles (second) goal away to West Ham summarised how much he has progressed this year. He broke with the ball, had the pace to beat his man and finished very cooly and accurately from a tight angle. I would not have confidence in the Doyle of two or three years ago in doing that, his finishing in my opinion was always subject. Yes he was a good man around the six yard box, but his one on one etc have improved no end.

He is good in the air, is quite quick and can now finish to a high standard, not to mention he has a very high work rate. Not sure if he will get a move to a big four but he certainly deserves to play for a better club than wolves. If Steven Fletcher is worth 7m, then Doyle must be twice that!!

i love doyler but a move to a club like arsenal could be a career-killing move, he won't start. villa would be better. but for now i think he should stay with wolves

In the limited highlights (last night) that I watched on Motd Kevin looked top quality.

I hate Doyle too. Who needs all this guile nonsense. As soon as I saw him on the wing I thought (like all the Everton defenders) here comes a high ball into the middle. The ******* decided to hit it along the ground. Flukey Doyle I thought as SEB scored a tap in. Lucky, lucky player. All this holding stuff and turning players (joke! defenders like Jagielka)on a six pence is a complete waste of time. Especially when your team mates benefit.

Have you won the argument now? Mancini hasn't bid for Doyle yet, therefore he's worse than Daryl Murphy? Thank you, sincerely, for contributing to the intellectual betterment of this forum.

Sounds like he was hustling pretty well, good to hear he set up their goal too. Anyone see the game? Anyone know how Doyle did overall?
