AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle is good but doesn't score enough goals. I would see him as a partner for Carroll rather than a replacement. Also, this is just press linking anyone from a club likely to go down, it's nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 it's probably all bollocks but that's a set of underwhelming strikers. surely we'd need to sign someone who could score goals, not someone who hadn't been scoring goals and caused their team to be relegated as such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It was only a year ago that City were being linked with Perotti for £40m. Carlton Cole wouldn't be that bad of a signing for £10m, like. He's got a fair bit of talent, just hasn't been using it this past year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle is fucking shite. Even worse than Carlton Cole. We're done for 3 years if we sign either of them to be a main striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EastEndGeordie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle is f***ing s****. Even worse than Carlton Cole. We're done for 3 years if we sign either of them to be a main striker. TBH I honestly don't think we'll sign them as they have no re-sale value for Ashley. It'll most probably be a young striker no-ones heard of or one of our own lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle would work alongside a goalscorer imo. (Cisse!) Reckon you'd get 25 goals between the pair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest magpie99 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If you look at our squad, it might be a bit thin but having played something like 4 games between them, you could almost suggest Gosling and HBA are like new signings next season. Also, add in Steven Taylor due to his lack of outings this season. I like the look of Hooper of Celtic and wanted us to sign him from Scunthorpe 12 months ago. He is quick and has an eye for goal and whilst most on here will point out its only the SPL, he looks to me like a natural born goalscorer who will get 15 goals a season, even in the PL. I dont really think we need Forster so offer Celtic 2.5 million plus Forster and with them currently heavily in debt, they would probably snap our hands off. I also like the look of the left back at Celtic and if Jose was to go, he could be a good replacement and is only 22. Many would disagree with this but I would get SWP for the right wing, even though he wouldnt be cheap but his pace would be valuable to us. I doubt he would cost more than 5 million now. Throw in Elmander on a free and there is less about 10 million on transfers spent. Offer Rangers Smith to get him off our books and a couple of decent youngsters and we have a bloody good squad next year. In: Elmander, Hooper, SWP, Inguirie, and a couple of decent young signings plus we have HBA and Gosling fit again. Out: Forster, Smith and Routledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle grafts a lot but lacks quality in front of goal. Got enough of them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EastEndGeordie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Doyle has scored three goals in twenty matches. Might as well stick with Lovenkrands if we want that kind of record as the Loven has scored three in six less matches than Doyle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I've been saying for a while that we need to sign Hooper before he gets the England call up (which he will, as he's much better than Bothroyd. I can see Liverpool taking him in a year or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Who is that young Blackpool lad who's just breaking through? Right winger/forward I think.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Aye it is Phillips, looks a handful. Probably already on the radar of a number of clubs I guess, and will only be available if B'pool get relegated (maybe not even then). he's also English and young so will probably be £20m.
