I am going to kill the next person who suggests Doyle. Seriously, you aren't even worthy of watching the game if you seriously think he is a good option to play at Newcastle.

 

100% agree. Not saying he's a bad player or anything. He's better than our current lot yes (not difficult), but I wouldn't say he's a big step up.

Not saying I want us to buy him, but Kevin Doyle would be our best striker by some distance if we did sign him.

 

I can see us signing someone like him or Carlton bloody Cole.  I'm prepared for this and they're realistic targets for our club and supposed wage budget.  Hardly my first choice, but Doyle would be an improvement and can play up top on his own.  I think he's a half decent player myself.  I honestly think those expecting some marquee signing to replace Carroll are in for a big shock.

 

Hope I'm wrong mind.

don't really see the point in signing someone like Doyle. he's at the same sort of level as Best and Ameobi, maybe with a slightly better first touch and passing, but with less physical ability or, recently, scoring threat. what we need to be doing is bringing in significantly better players so that leon and shola are our 3rd and 4th choice strikers instead of guaranteed starters.

Doyle has zero passing ability, an inability to make smart runs or link up with players and poor finishing. Just a guy with decent physical attributes and a good work rate. Not what we need. We need a striker that can create chances as well as finish.

Aren't Feyenoord in a really poor financial position? Can we not raid them for some of their better players?

 

I think all the Dutch clubs are and we've got scouts around there :)

What would people feel if we went for Carlos Vela in the summer? Haven't got all that of playing time for arsenal. And has been doing fairly well for WBA. Seems to do good in a poacher role, giving crosses, got a few tricks, and do know how to finnish. Might even improve alot with regular first time action.

Vela has looked a live wire when he has got on for WBA. He is not going to improve under Wegner at Arsenal. With Sweet Pea scoring for MUFC he will want to be a starter now. A max of £5 million though. We have enough players decent/good in the air in Best, Ranger & Shola & I would like to think Loven & another season at NUFC do not go together.
