Saint Matty 76 Posted 8 April, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 April, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 8 April, 2012 Share Posted 8 April, 2012 Would say that their defence is better than ours ! Both would be decent signings though! Along with Jarvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Johnson as well, if he can stay off the booze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpturner Posted 8 April, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 8 April, 2012 Share 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.

Rasiak-9- Posted 8 April, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu0x Posted 9 April, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 9 April, 2012 Share 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 Share 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??!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 9 April, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 9 April, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
