We could have stopped working on a real deal for the lad because Bologna have got him on a nice loan because we think they actually might trigger it. The never had any intention of signing him. The only way they would, is if his value doubled whilst there. A waste of everyone’s time If he’s impressed out there then another Italian club (with more than some magic beans and a packet of hula hoops) may be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way he is at a better standard than where he’s currently playing. Edited 29 January by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 29 January Author Share Posted 29 January I’m assuming they paid a fee to load him, then covered the wages at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 29 January Share Posted 29 January I could see him being utilised as an option at LB/LCB. we need two in that position and I’m not sure on Doyle I wonder if VKs reluctance in the summer was due to the league we are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 30 January Author Share Posted 30 January He’s been disappointing by all accounts for Bologna. That said, if we’ve paid £12m up front for him, then could recoup that, it would be best used to sign Doyle long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 30 January Share Posted 30 January After Praet and now Kristiansen, we need to stop dealing with Italian clubs. We always have an option to buy which they clearly are never going to take up, even if they do well, as none of them have a pot to piss in. Yes we'll agree to an option to buy for £14m but when it comes to it, we'll offer you £2m. Same with Turkish clubs, no money so no chance of getting a decent fee out of them for any signings. It seems the only teams outside the prem that have money are the Saudis and the European cartel of Real, Barce, Bayern and PSG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically we're pissing about over a £500k loan fee for a signing from an Italian club. We're hardly a model club in terms of negotiation are we.

TheGoldenGod Posted 30 January Share Posted 30 January If it's not overly apparent that the people within the club in charge of negotiations aren't fit for purpose then it'll never be to some. We should be more aggressive with any Italian club about obligations etc. These flimsy options-to-buy clearly aren't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle is slow and cumbersome and would be battered in a higher league. IMHO, obvs 😂👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
