    I can only see the source of this coming from one of those dodgy online ITK twitter pages. Seems pretty random with no substance to it.

    But if Parky insisted he came to us, wouldn't that just be out of the frying pan into the fire? We'd be getting rid of 2 players who don't want to be here and signing another who has stated he doesn't want to be here before he's even arrived!

    More chance of us signing a Greggs vegan sausage roll.

    Parker was saying there's nothing in it and the time to recall him may have passed anyway

    We will have never been in for him. We may have enquired but the chances of him coming here were zero.

    I see from the BBC that Yates has returned to Swindon, and Power is saying that that is the final piece of the puzzle for them... We'll see.

    Well part of me is thinking, the best way they don’t get pipped to the post in the auto’s is by having a misfiring, unhappy Doyle playing for one of their competitors. Makes it much easier for them now they’ve signed two new strikers.

    Dont think City are one of their competitors anymore. They are fighting for the title, we are fighting for that last play off spot

    more chance of Rupp getting Angela Merkel up the duff than spunking more of his cash into this club.

    Maybe that’s why we never see him at home games, he’s always playing away ;)

    It looks like JR has been out-thought by Power again.

    Doyle can only play for us or Swindon. We don't want him, don't play him and have said publicly we expect him to leave. Swindon get Yates back alongside another striker and now have no need for Doyle on the face of it. If they still need their 23 goal striker Doyle, the negotiating position has now strengthened enormously in Power's favour.

    Meanwhile we need Doyle off the books to finance a replacement!

    But have we sold him the big club and great fans, that could just broker the deal, every player wants to feel loved.
    If nothing else he likes a bit of banter when we went to Wigan with Stuart and Robinson scored that schemer late on he was warming us by the side of us and the City fans were giving it large, you must be sh!te if you cant make the starting 11 here, and he just came back with an answer and a smile.

    And our 'Director of Communications' publicly blames a 17 game slump on said player that returned and played 3 games, before the deal is even settled.

    Absolute amateur is this club.

    Maybe if we were sitting pretty in the top 3 and firing on all cylinders he might entertain the idea with the prospect of a promotion on his cv, but as things stand, why would he want to consider it? He will be fully aware of the lack of chances we create for our forwards and will have seen the top scorer in the country not get a sniff since he came back to us. In those circumstances, I don't think 'big club, great fans' is going to cut it.

    Similarly, who else of any stature would want to come to us?
    I find it amazing that yet again we're scrambling to sign someone, anyone, at the last minute in a transfer window. Have we really let Doyle and Vaughan go without any replacements already lined up?
    If that's the case we must be the most amateur club in the entire football league.

    We won two out of three at Christmas got a point at Swindon. Hardly a slump followed by the Crawley Scunthorpe and Mansfield with Doyle I would say the evidence is strong
