Callum Doyle

[Whitburnmakem]

And no doubt that was the case at City too.

Aye with players who you can give the ball to anywhere and not shit their pants

I think the lad would end up being a cracking DCM. He's got a good range of passing, likes to get involved and would serve well as a bit of a unit in CM.

Maybe a good shout this. In the Gareth Barry role!
For me, he's not a good CB. He's not great in the air, tries to over play and regularly gets caught out of position (no doubt this will get bumped at some point!)

Callum Doyle`s family used to come up to Sunderland for every home match... How proud they must be of their young son . Big future in the game so good luck to them all.

A brick shithouse kid of 17 or 18 will probably be bullied by a brick shithouse 28 year old, his physique is still developing he’ll learn how to use it as he gains more strength and experience as will his overall game.

I’m not doubting that, but precisely how did that help us last season? We were helping develop a lad for another club who clearly wasn’t ready.

Joined coventry on loan

I'd consider that a poor signing for them. Wouldn't particularly want him in our defence this year.

1st game of season, winning header

 

[Mowgli]

Meh. Talented young kid but his form nosedived drastically.

I wouldn't have brought him back

Under Alex Neil I would have. He was getting flogged to death man, his form was bound to dip. Came back strong at the end.

He had 3 months off under Neil and he still chose to play Cirkin left centre back rather than put Doyle in. He clearly wasn't a fan.

Agreed. In time he'll likely make a good player, but I'd hope to have better in our back line this year. Nice lad, good luck to him.

Ballard in 45mins the other day looked a better bet. We need more cover though.

 

[genewolf]

Nice lad who I'm sure will make it, but I'm surprised Coventry have taken him. Let's put some balls over his head first game and get him on the turn.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Aw here, can absolutely guarantee what’s happening on the 31st July.

Cirkin is a good player and very young.

Cirkin is a good player and very young.

Cirkin was an Unsung Hero for us last year.

Great young player imo

True, but if I were ambitious and him I'd be looking to go to a Championship club this season too.

 

[HenrySAFC]

I'm not. That is the pool they will be buying out of. Our squad already looks miles better than theirs.

Ditto Winchester - played out of position and at times excelled at it.

 

[Steesafc]

All the best Callum.

 

[Scotty 1978]

f***ing Coventry we should’ve took him back for another year
