STM Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 according to Reading local paper Chelsea offered him a 4 year deal but he only wants a 2 year one.Now in Las Vegas and will wait until he comes back before making a decision. HTT-Sorry but most Reading fans think it is a money thing-He does have a wife and child to consider. You taking the piss. His wife and child are hardly going to die because he decided to take newcastles 45k a week as asposed to chelseas 60k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin doyle Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sorry-I meant that is why he wouldn't sign for Reading.They only offered 25,000 per week and he declined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 How much do you think Kevin Doyle is worth now btw? Next season will be massive in his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 How much do you think Kevin Doyle is worth now btw? Next season will be massive in his career. Kevin Doyle is class IMO, I've seen Reading a few times this season and all he needs is to add a bit of steel to his silky skills. Sure he'll have a great season next year.

kevin doyle Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Kevin Doyle must be worth 15 million at least!!! He seemed a bit withdrawn after his injury but the last 10 minutes at Bolton he seemed back to his best.Very happy with all 4 strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 15m? Think thats a bit steep like i was thinking 9! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 £9m?! I'd say £5m tops at the minute. If he has a similar season next year then maybe he could go into the £9-15m bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin doyle Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 So how much would you say for Nugent or Bent or indeed Martins! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Nugent about £4-5m, Bent around the £8-10m (as he's done it for a second season), Martins about the same as Bent (as he's done it in Europe and did decent enough here...although would probably go for more than that due his his reputation at Inter).

Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 To be fair to Sidwell, it makes a change a player not taking the easy option, getting a nice big contract and settling for the bench at Chelsea, and going for the shorter option which would give him the chance to leave the club if he feels he's not getting a chance.

kevin doyle Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Considering Everton spent 8 million on Johnson I think you're under valuing them.It seems there are very few players about at the moment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 £8m was a gamble which paid off though. £4-5m would have been about right if we're looking at what he did at Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniffer Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 If doyle is worth 15 mill then Michael Owen is worth 25 mill. I'd bet he'll score more goals than Doyle next season wherever he is ( but hopefully at Newcastle ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 How are hardly going to struggle on £25k a week Even with the overinflated prices Doyle isn't worth anything near £15m. You mentioned Johnson at £8m but he had done as well as Doyle had. We signed Owen who has proven over a number of years that he can do it at all levels for £16m so there is no way Doyle is worth £15m! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Michael Owen is a poor man's Kevin Doyle tbh ... And yes I DO have that the right way around! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'd imagine over the long-term, he'd get a helluva lot more money with one signing-on fee at Chelsea, with £60k a week for 4-years, than he what he would get with two signing-on fees with £60k for 2 years, and a lot less than that at his next club. (no way would he get £60k anywhere else but Chelsea) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Having an argument with a mate telling him he shouldn't believe everything he reads in the papers. If anyone is bored today could they find some of the numerous articles from a few weeks ago claiming Sidwell had agreed to sign for Newcastle? If not I will look over the weekend, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Perhaps Sidwell has kidnapped Joses Yorkie in an attempt to get the 2 year contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I can't see how Sidwell is going to get a regular place (or even an occasional place) at Chelsea in competition with Ballack, Lampard, Essien and Makelele in the centre midfield. The most plausible idea I've heard is that Chelsea will lose some players to the African Nations Cup next season, and Sidwell is only cover for that. I think he's a good player though, and just what we need. Career-wise, he'd be far better off with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
