should do his confidence the world of good. Hopefully Keane grabs a couple tomorrow (but with Liverpool losing ).
Doyle has been playing well without scoring. I thought he was excellent against Columbia. He had a good game for Reading against Forest. And now he is one of the top scorers in the championship. Timing could not be better for us
Doyle to Villa rumours resurface: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...uff-rumourmill
The problem with Kevin Doyle is that he looks far too sharp for the Championship and will be on his way to Aston Villa before you can say "£7m in the transfer window", provided you say it very slowly. Villa will raise a bit of money by selling Marlon Harewood to Stoke for £3.5m.
Kevin Doyle has signed a contract extension with Reading. Very surprised, thought he would be leaving in January

Its really not that complicated!!!
Probably better off at Reading, they should come straight back up and banging goals is obviously doing his confidence a world of good. He had a very good game against Cyprus last month. He suffered, I thought, last year as Reading struggled.
better having a player banging in goals in the championship than losing confidence in the prem.
Agreed, he's been on top form for Reading in the Championship so far this season and the renewed confidence is showing when he pulls on the Green shirt.
As regards contracts and wasting his ability at Reading, if a club is willing to pay big bucks for a player, contracts matter little these days.
Personally i'm happy to see him scoring regularly and enjoying his football at Reading at the moment, as it benefits Ireland.

This news will kill the mood in a few laundrettes in Cork.
You can't spell failure without FAI
wouldnt read anything into it razor...come january and if he is still banging in the goals and playing well...it wont stop the reported clubs that are interested in him(villa,spurs,etc) makin bids for him
he is a proven international and prem player...he will be a bigger club not b4 long...im sure of it
Reading look like they'll go straight back up. If they can get Sidwell back they might have a chance next season.
Kevin Doyle is not stupid and I'm sure his agent isn't either. There is bound to be a clause in his new contract allowing him to talk to other clubs if Reading fail to get promoted this season!! Unlike Hunt, I'd imagine Doyle will be loyal to Reading and not go anywhere in January!!
Just means that Reading can secure a higher price for him in January
I see Doyle has signed an extension to his contract with Reading. Doesn't mean he won't be snapped up in the January sales. Just means Reading have secured the rights to money if he does go. No big deal.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Wait for all the rumours linking him with every team in the Premiership.......

MOM today against Birmingham. Class peformance. Scored Reading's second goal and put in a fantastic cross for Reading's third goal. I expect to see him lining up for Aston Villa in the new year.
Doyle is a true quality player and a great testament to himself and the League here.
He is easily a 10 million pound player, his finish for the second goal was just sublime, and his cross for Cisse's goal was excellent.
A proper quality player and we are lucky we have him.
Also S.Hunt's delivery for that goal was brilliant.
