Saint Matty 76 Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Wolves striker Kevin Doyle will be offered a way out of his Molineux nightmare by Southampton in a £4million swoop at the end of the season. Republic of Ireland international Doyle, 28, was left on the bench in Wolves' 2-1 defeat in their last match against Stoke on Saturday night. Saints boss Nigel Adkins wants to add another forward to his squad, regardless of whether or not they are promoted to the Premier League. And Doyle, who is also wanted by old club Reading, will want to stay in English football's top-flight with both Saints and Brian McDermott's Royals looking likely to get promoted. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Southampton-eye-4m-swoop-for-Wolves-striker-Kevin-Doyle-article888406.html Thoughts?
Turkish Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Decent signing, can't really see in happening unless we go up though. We should stick a bid in for Jamie O'hara while we're at it as well.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Yes please. I know they're a team coming down but as Turkish said, O'Hara would be good, and I wouldn't mind Jarvis either. It's Wolves defence that is the problem, they have some cracking attacking talent.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Would say that their defence is better than ours ! Both would be decent signings though! Along with Jarvis.
Turkish Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Yes please. I know they're a team coming down but as Turkish said, O'Hara would be good, and I wouldn't mind Jarvis either. It's Wolves defence that is the problem, they have some cracking attacking talent. Yep, Jarvis as well, although I think bigger clubs will be sniffing around him. Roger Johnson as well, if he can stay off the booze!
Stevie B Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Would be a great signing I think, believe it when I see it though
Colinjb Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Lets not run before we can count those chickens. #Insert cliché here.#
kpturner Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Michael Kightly as well while we're at it.Maybe we should get promoted then sign an entire team of players who are not good enough to stay up.
Crab Lungs Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Maybe we should get promoted then sign an entire team of players who are not good enough to stay up. Or maybe we could read between the lines and realise that the players mentioned aren't wholly to blame for Wolves relegation... and they're being grossly mismanaged. IMO.
Micky Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Would prefer RVP, but I guess beggars cant be choosers - so he'll do.
Rasiak-9- Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Doyle's a solid, experienced and proven Prem striker. For 4 million he'd be very welcome. Still think Reading in the Premiership will be a better option than us in the champo, so we will need promotion if we're gonna get hold of him
stu0x Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Thoughts? Mainly 'oh god it's started already'... How often in the recent past have our transfer dealings gotten into the public domain before they are concluded? (Almost) never. Combine that with the fact that we don't know what division we will be playing in next season, and it should be pretty obvious how much credence should be lent to *any* transfer rumours involving us at the moment. Edit: colour me surprised, this *article* was in the Mirror... For the record though I think it's a bad idea to sign demoted players. Yes you can say they are better than their club, but demotion does something mentally to 90% of players. It's very rare for someone to be demoted, transfer away and actually bounce back in a meaningful way.
obelisk Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 I'd rather concentrate on the unresolved matter of this season for the moment. There'll be plenty of time for speculation on players in/out but since we don't even currently know what league we'll be playing in next season perhaps it's just a tad early.
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Or maybe we could read between the lines and realise that the players mentioned aren't wholly to blame for Wolves relegation... and they're being grossly mismanaged. IMO. No, I agree with KP. You don't want players who have been relegated if you can avoid it. We ended up with a load of them and guess what, we got relegated! I would always rather buy players who are used to, or have created, success. For me money, Lambert is a far better striker than Doyle. And if we have Rickie, Lee and Sharp, what do we need another bench warmer for??!!!
supersonic Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 e would be a great signing. Proven at Prem, Champ & International level. Especially good at Championship level. Better than most of what we've got already

Rebel Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 If he goes anywhere it will be Reading Hooper from Celtic and Jay Rodriguez from Burnley are more likely signings for us - whether we go up or not.
ottery st mary Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Did someone say Van Persie was still stalling on his contract at Arse.... Waiting to see what we do..no doubt:rolleyes:

I think Scott Parker, Joe Cole and Peter Crouch, to name but three might disagree with you about that.
Thedelldays Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 RvP won't sign a contract till he knows what division we will be in

Badger Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 RvP won't sign a contract till he knows what division we will be in Talks with RvP have stalled as Cortese is refusing to agree his wages will match Xavi's.
Badger Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 I'd rather concentrate on the unresolved matter of this season for the moment. There'll be plenty of time for speculation on players in/out but since we don't even currently know what league we'll be playing in next season perhaps it's just a tad early. Ditto.Let's just see which division we are in before we start speculating.
Badger Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Not sure about Doyle. Seems injured alot Replacement for Connolly then.
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Doyle should have been signed in Jan, or a Doyle style player, we just dont seem to be able to hold a ball upfront without SRL and never effectively have without him.
chivvy1664 Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 we defininately dont wont Doyle terrible goal record, Jarvis is rubbish if we want anyone from Wolves its Fletcher.
corky morris Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 If we go up Jay Rod will sign for us if we agree to pay £5m + add ons. Source - Board member at Burnley & an apprentice about to be let go by Burnley. No worries if you don't believe me or think its BS, just repeating what I was told............
