Myslelf & other City fans have rose tinted glasses when comes to Doyler so wondering what other regular eL fans think of him...
He's pretty good, have only seen him this season. I thought he played really well against Shels at the X in the Setanta. ;)
Can't remember any other games he's featured in..... :o
By eL standards he is very good, one of the best players in the league. It remains to be seen how he fairs across the water though. Still a lot to learn but he is going to a fantastic set up so thing are looking good for him at the moment. A bright future ahead of him i think.......Quote:

Outstanding.
€117,000. Thats it I think. Cuz of a contract clause, no further money, that will, unless Reading are thick, be the lot.Quote:

Brilliant,What i like about Kevin is he is not just a goalscorer.He can pass and create chances for other players,if you were stuck you could easily fit him into your midfield.
I just hope he gets the chance he deserves and is not left on the bench.
He's better than Murphy anyway imo.
A bit lightweight for the Championship?
AgreedQuote:

Would be very surprised if he didn't make it in england
The great thing about Doyler is he has constantly and steadily improved over the last number of years. i remember him playing for st pats u17 and he was an average at that standard. but every time i have seen him since he seems to have improved, and is now one of the top five strikers in the league.
With youth on his side and what seems like a great attitude he certainly has the potential to at the very least hold his own at Reading
Exactly. I'm just so ****éd off that he's gone. A total fúck-up by City. Heads must roll after this...Quote:

Best player in the eircom League in my book. Its only a matter of when the guy gets in the Ireland team. If kerr has any sense he'll look at getting him in the team asap for the world cup ahead of morrison
Morrison is ok. Its Doherty and Alan Lee that will be under threat.Quote:

The problem with football is that the cream doesn't always rise to the top.
I think thats because hes not a flashy player.Quote:

I wonder did Mick McCarthy realise he could have had Doyle for extra few quid...
:D :eek: How the fúck are they even considered over Doyler??!!Quote:

remember a few years ago, pats fans reckoned hawkins should have been in the ireland squads, then he went to doncaster and failed.
its very hard to judge if an eL is ood enough for the international squad, if they are good enough and they do go to england, then they will prove it through their ability.
time will tell if doyle is good enough for that level.
lads if he even makes it at Reading he'll be doing well - anything else will be a bonus - I feel some people are getting ahead of themselves - he's a very good player - but I've seen even better players fail to make an impact in a more competitive 'full on' environment. I hope he does well but I wouldn't put my house on it.
no. he's proved himself for Ireland at U21 level already. Now he's stepping up a bit at club level, he deserves to do the same at international levelQuote:

:D Fair point. I make no apologies for it. I think he is the best player I've seen in this League since i started going to games 10 years ago and he's going to get so much betterQuote:

thought he turned the game Ireland's way when he came on. Decent in the air, should have scored with a header. Quality player, will probably make it quicker than murphy because of the league he'll be in
