He's one for the future, hence why he's not playing all the time.
If Doyle's moving he should go up the league, not down. Sunderland and Boro are both struggling this year and if he went he could end up back in the Championship very quickly.
He can do better than Reading, Boro or Sunderland. Don't think he'd get much of a chance at Everton with Yakubu and Johnson. Maybe Newcastle.
Sorry, meant Steve "the new Scott Parker" Sidwell, don't know what made me think of SinclairQuote:

Doyle should keep clear of Chelski - he needs a club that would nurture his talent and not expect instant returns. If he couldn't deliver he'd be dropped like a stone. Sidwell is rotting away (despite a start today) and we need Doyle to be playing week in week out.
Which would amount to ten times more than they originally soldQuote:

He might end up warming the bench there, as Keane currently is at Spurs v Villa right now.
Probably just rested after the christmas games, he hasn't been a sub since early november
Christ so if he went for 8 million quid, cork would get... on today's exchange rate... €1,086,775.Quote:

I don't think he did that badly, set up one of Berbatov's goal, sure he missed a penalty but it was more a good save than anything.Quote:

Apparently Chelsea are also interested in Berbatov for £25 million+, flattering that Chelsea are interested, but he might only get a game if there is a flu outbreak at Chelsea :DQuote:

Actuall Doyle and Drogba are both on 5 and Chavchenko is on 4 so who knows?
Trouble is Chelsea can afford to have good players languishing in the reserves which is probably not what Doyle nor Ireland want.
I would like to see Doyle at Chelsea. He is a very good striker but he would definitely be frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities. He'd probably get a look in over the next few weeks with Drogba and Kalou in Ghana but if he didn't impress then, he'll be on the bench soon enough.Quote:

Drogba can do it, Kalou can come off the bench and score. If Doyle didn't start scoring immediately, he'd left out of the team. If he's a money player, he can go to Chelsea but if he's in it with the heart he should go somewhere where he'll be one of the top strikers and he'll be let get on with the job.Quote:

Of course he should move to a better team if the opportunity presents itself but I don't think that Chelsea will be in for him.
Would thrive on the amount of chances they create as he is a great finisher but hasn't got the pace to make it as a top player. Not at one of the big four anyway. He hasn't got enough all round to compensate for his lack of pace.
