gamble who is an excellent player didnt get much of a chance over there
Doyler will go nowhere until at least the end of the season, anyway we're on par with the likes of Reading and Stoke these days. Apart from the wages and prestige issue I'd see it as a useless move for him =)
the madski stadium (excuse the spelling )is very similar to turners cross as is there whole set up .i.e. training facilities and youth accademies. I'm sure Kevin Doyle would not be interested in higher wages :rolleyes:

I hope who ever writes the cheques at Reading knows how to spell One Million Pounds, and agree to a sell on clause, otherwise they can **** off

I know he's arguably your best player, and also 1 of the best players in the league, but a million pounds......Its a bit much really.Quote:

I'd say that would be at least 699,999.99 overpriced ;)Quote:

How on earth did we ever get him from Pats? Probably the single best thing Dolan ever did for City
it was in the aftermath of dolan's departure from Pat's
afaik doyler hated dublin and wanted to leave no matter what. if waterford had put in the call ten minutes earlier he woulda gone to them..Quote:

Also comparing Turners Cross to a 24,200 seater stadium with a shuttle bus service from the train station in Reading itself is stretching things a bit!
Hopefully the lure of top flight football and playing in Europe will keep Doyle on this side of the sea though.
Maybe not a million pounds but Doyle is one of the Irish U21s best players, a proven scorer in Europe against quality opposition and his contract, afaik, isn't expiring soon. Why shouldn't Cork demand a big transfer fee? We aren't in the days of transfer fees to EL clubs being a token gesture, if Reading want a player of Doyles quality they have to pay for it.Quote:

The club have been slated time after time over the Delaney sale [SIZE=1](if you could call it that)[/SIZE] So there is not way they should be making the same mistake again.
DE TOWN ..... out of interest .... what is he worth ??
I would have said half a million pounds tops.Quote:

English clubs buy u-21 players from other small european countries & would never get away with paying 100k or so.
IMO hes one of best players in the league (how he didn't make last seasons team of the year i'll never know) & would be serious dent to city to lose him as couldn't be replaced.
Transfer window doesn't open til summer so he not going anywhere soon...
