    Yes, the game has a history of them. Fowler Lineker and Rush couldn’t score goals outside the area but were lethal inside it with the correct service.

    You say he’s probably not very good, yet only 18mths ago, prior to joining our fecked-up club, he was on his way to scoring 14 in 28 starts for a L1 club.

    We aren’t paying any fees for players so you can rule out Danny Rose.

    Whilst this makes sense, it could also be down to finances. I read somewhere that they got a new investor this week, buying a 15% stake in the club. If he’s on the £5k a week some claim, perhaps they couldn’t afford him until now

    Why not offer the same value bet to him, but the bet being that Doyle won’t finish with as many as Vaughan? Why does he have to score 20+ when Vaughan won’t score anywhere that many for us?

    True, but if it turns out the only reason we have let him go is because they can now afford him and we haven't got a replacement lined up I'll be bloody livid!

    How does Danny Rose actually fit into a team at Bradford City?

    If we add a proper central midfielder and an effective left winger I can see Vaughan reaching 20+. As it stands though, he won't get enough service to trouble that figure.

    Why would I do that when Vaughan’s a couple of weeks away from been ruled out for the season.
    I have absolute faith that Doyle is as shit as he’s shown in the past 12 months.

    When we're crying out for midfielders.

    Agree and you won’t be the only one livid (although some seem genuinely happy to just have him off our books, irrespective of whether we replace him or bring in midfielders). Surely any new signing would have been announced by now?

    Exactly and I just don’t see Bowyer signing an effective left winger let alone a proper central midfielder.

    So what you’re saying is that you’re happy that we have left ourselves with the potential of only having Donaldson as our striker/forward for the season?

    Ever heard the saying “don’t cut off your nose to spite your face”??

    We are but now Doyle's gone, are we not also crying out for a back up striker?

    “You’re not gonna get players signing (for us) in league two with goal scoring ratios much better than that. They will be playing higher up”

    A first team midfielder has to be priority over a striker on the bench.

    The clue is in your post.

    "Back up" striker or a midfielder that walks into the first 11?

    Not ideal I'll agree but let's get the first 11 right before worrying about gaps on the bench.
