Looks like he's on his way to Celtic. Backwards move IMO.
Another for Doyle tonight against Crawley Town.

Ended up with two against Crawley- one either side of a Jay O'Shea goal.
Talk of a move has died down somewhat. This could see a move pushed through or else Chesterfield are adamant he's not moving till the summer at the earliest.
I'd say the chance of Championship football next season would be much more favourable than playing in the SPL for any footballer these days.

Indo reckon he'll go to Sheffield United: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-30943751.html
Just to put Eoin Doyle's form this season into perspective...
David Mooney had 13 league goals by this time last season.
Paddy Madden had 12 league goals by this time the season before that.
Doyle already has 20 league goals, has already equalled Madden's overall tally from the 2012/2013 season and has already exceeded Mooney's overall tally from the 2013/2014 season.
And they're all League of Ireland products.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
24 in 32 game, all competitions, so 3 goals every 4 games.

Exactly. The plight of Hearts, Hibs and Rangers is too much for that league. Rooney has an immense tally and one he couldn't replicate in the Championship or League 1.

Peter Beagrie has his say on Doyle:
"After an incredible season last year there were questions whether Doyle would be able to replicate his goal-scoring exploits. The answer has been a resounding yes.
His work-rate is immense and he has got everything, including a real hunger and desire. While not the biggest, he is wiry, lean and keen and never put off. It is not a case of centre-halves saying early in the game ‘I am going to leave a bit on him, put him on his backside’, he just jumps up, dusts himself down and goes again.
He has been terrific for Chesterfield, his strengths really are his work-rate, his self-belief and attitude, which are spot on. You can see he genuinely loves playing football and it oozes out of him. If his team-mates continue to give him a supply line then he could shoot them into the play-offs, which would be a remarkable achievement."
You'll see that article carries a very complimentary tone for all of the players in question and there's more reference to work-rate and attitude than footballing ability. Although he does state "he has got everything" and Doyle's record this season shows he can finish.
He's not just getting tap ins either. He is scoring some lovely goals. He has the technique to step up to the Championship.
Mooney is another lad who only seems to score great goals.
Paddy Madden would probably be pushing him (Doyle) in terms of goals scored but he's playing on the wing for Scunthorpe.

I wouldn't say much better. Madden is younger and more talented for me but question marks over his attitude, which doesn't apply to Doyle.
Sheffield United favorites for his signature. Preston & New York City also linked.
Very underwhelming.

Couldn't help but bag another today. Linked above with New York City which, from a personal perspective anyway,, wouldn't be a bad move at all, would it? All depends on what level Doyle envisages himself reaching- PL? Championship? Or is League 1 dominance his ceiling in which case a life in NY would become all the more attractive?
I'd like to see him move to the Championship. See if he can sustain his current hot streak at that level and push for the PL if he does.
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-30953443.html
He would jump at the chance to move to New York City but they have to increase their offer by 50%.
TBH I think he should stay at Chesterfield until the end of the season, unless a decent Championship team comes in with a concrete offer.
At this rate, he is going to break goalscoring records for League One and could go up with Chesterfield in any event.
He will be in a stronger position to get the best possible move and the best possible financial security; a stronger bargaining position.
Chesterfield would also be more malleable in the summer than they are now.
Right now, stronger Championship teams are reluctant to make a move because it is a one month window as opposed to a four month window. If he stays fit and keeps scoring goals in a promotion chasing side, he could have his pick of teams to choose from. As it stands, Rotherham are the only Championship side to make a concrete offer, while a couple other League One teams - no stronger placed in the league than Chesterfield - have also made significant strides towards getting his signature. If it goes tits up in New York, all the progress he has made in Britain over the last four years could come undone - and in any event, once you go over there it is out of sight, out of mind.
I think he should sit on it.

Derby and Cardiff mention as interested here

£2 for 20+ goals seems pretty cheap.LEAGUE One outfit Chesterfield have received inquiries from Derby, Cardiff, Sheffield United and Rotherham for in-form striker Eoin Doyle.
The 26-year-old, who has netted 24 goals in all competitions this season, was identified as target of Bristol City back in November, along with Freddie Sears who has since moved on to Championship high-flyers Ipswich.
Doyle netted two goals in his side's 3-0 win over Crawley last night, which moved them up to fifth in the table.
The Irishman has scored 34 goals since joining from Hibernian in 2013 and The Spireites currently value him between £1million and £2million. They are expecting at least one club to meet their asking price with as many as nine sides monitoring the forward.
