    I'd think the same would apply to any transfer with regards Doyle.

    I like Vaughan I think his all round game is better than Doyle without his many injuries I think he would have been a premiership player

    Yep. But I do believe Jack Walker told Kenny he didnt need Zidane as he already had Tim Sherwood.

    Not in a million years - not good enough. Vaughan had a couple of decent Championship years and then one good League One year without injuries. That's it.

    Plenty have struggled with injuries and had Premier League careers. Owen, Wilshire, Carroll, Welbeck, King, Woodgate to name a few. Its a poor excuse. He simply isn't good enough for top flight football.

    I'm sure somebody on here said there was an extension clause in his contract that could be triggered this season?

    When he signed, I always thought it was a 2 year deal with an option of a 3rd.

    Wrong though apparently.

    How do you know you are wrong? Just that the option of a third year hasn't been mentioned?

    The answer to that is before the first of his career threatening injuries he had 47 appearances for Everton scoring 7 goals

    Also agree and if Swindon did come back with a decent offer, it will boil down to whether the club feel confident we can get promoted without Doyle or if they feel he is integral to us doing that. If the former, it's a no brainer from me, take the money and be gone with him.

    be utter stupidity to sell him from here. Unless we get a silly offer (1m or something) a permanent departure isn't worth entertaining. The form he is in he is worth 500-750k to us and we try and get promotion over the line. I can't wait until the transfer window shuts just to be done with the speculation. 180 pages now. This thread is a joke!

    Agree, would be absolute madness to offer Doyle a new deal, especially as he would be demanding an increase on an already high wage. He has a reputation for a good season followed by a bad one, only City could pay over the odds for his bad one, loan him out for his good one and then take him back on improved terms for his next bad one!

    Not Really
    Dont forget at the end of the season he walks away and we get nothing
    It all depends on how GB is going to play him should he play to his strengths then yes i agree keep him here
    If as i suspect he wont change the formation then give him away and let Swindon pay his wages till the end of the season its as simple as that
    Over to you Mr Bowyer !!!!!

    Got to be joking right? 200k minimum please. Give the countries top scorer away for free? You must be mad. Just handing Swindon promotion on a plate. We have the control in this situation, if they want him make them pay.

    Michael Branch had a similar record.
    Neil Mellor had a better record.
    Freddy Sears another...
    Danny Cadamarteri...

    List is endless. The injuries didn't help but his lack of talent was his biggest hindrance.

    His talent was there to see his injury record wrecked what would have been a great career
