I can see both sides but don't think we can use last season as a guide, on last seasons showing he certainly wasn't worth the money were are paying him I personally hope he stays if we have any thoughts of promotion from thus division we need 3 strikers and I believe the players Bowyer has brought to the club can only help him and our other two strikers.
The only trouble with paying someone big money is if he and the team are not successful you may find it difficult to move him and others on.

 

Who?

Lewis O’Brien? Paul Caddis? Why, because they ran around a lot?

This debate has been done to its death, multiple times.

Move on - it’s in everyone’s best interest.

 

Doyle, possibly. But who'd want Akpan?

 

A fair few clubs i would expect. MK Dons. Burton would have him back. They will look at his career and not just the one season.

 

His career??
nearly every set of fans from Reading, Blackburn and Burton have said he was tosh

 

Where did I state an 'average' of 4 or 5 a month? I think you've misread the post Rod?

 

What about Peter Shilton?

Crucially though, managers dont think the same

 

It felt like you read my post but then just created an example that I never suggested though.

Doyle is more than capable of hitting a run of goals in a single month, he's done it before so I'm not sure why you'd be "amazed".

I'm not sure he'll get the chance but considering there are 7 games in August, why is 4 or 5 goals from a striker on penalties, completely out of the question?

 

Lincolnshire cup. Who did you play for? I used to play in Mid Lincs league when a nipper for Southwell Utd

 

Name any goalkeeper that was renowned for positional versatility and I'll name someone who thinks Doyle is good enough.

 

I think we can in terms of attitude and application. I would forgive them if 100% of the playing squad had a poor season, but some still performed well and it was generally those who you would have expected to struggle. Which for me gives the senior players nothing to hide behind. I don't think Doyle's all that over the entirety of his career if I'm honest and I genuinely believe we could spend his wage far better. Could do worse than looking at Liam Millar from Liverpool on loan, given they like wage contributions and what not. Obviously a youngster with no real record but I'd rather have him than Doyle as he has actual standout attributes and is a different kind of player to Donaldson and Vaughan. Can also play left wing too.

 

Your choice of language was child like. If you want to be replied to properly at least try to construct a proper point instead of just saying "shitty Doyle" and "he's dogshit" when someone has offered you statistical facts to back a certain point of view.

 

Crap? He got 11 goals in the worst side we have ever seen at VP. He wasn’t amazing but was far from the biggest issue.
