Gooch at right back ? He can cover there but shouldn’t be a starter.
I'm sure the 3 behind Stewart would rotate during a game....But that's just how it stands atm...Let's see who we bring in
He’s a centre half. They tend to break through later than forwards/midfielders. I’d be very surprised if they sold him this summer.
I didn’t mean this summer. But in the next couple of years without him making their first team.
Obviously we wont spend big but we will certainly buy a player or 2
I don’t think they’ll have made their decision on him yet, I think they’ll be aiming to have a PL loan for him by the age of 20/21 and then take a view after he’s had a season in the top flight under his belt.
No hard and fast decision, but he's already down the pecking order behind Mbete who's a left sided centre half of the same age - but with more first team exposure for City and a fresh new contract in his hands. If I had to guess, I'd say that Doyle will be gone from City within 2 years. They've just binned off Egan-Riley and have others floating around. And for him to even have a chance to cling on presupposes that they don't just go out and spend big money on a permanent player.
What’s coming together,?Three or four re signings,we need to get a move on to get players in . Last seasons squad won’t be challenging this season many many have said that. Hope I’m wrong but I doubt if any big quality players will be brought in as I’m hearing again there’s no money. The manager wants to add but the owners and Speakman want to give exsisting players a chance,somethings never change !
if we were that skint I reckon Neil would be off
I would play him as a defensive midfield player, his lack of pace will be exposed at CHWell he is certainly not going to play for the City first team this coming season so is likely to be going on loan somewhere. Is he ready for the Championship? At times he looked great in League 1 but at other times he looked out of his depth.
Content to let AN decide
How many points per game did that squad get once under Alecs tuition?
Doyle isn’t a good enough defender for Div 1, so wouldn’t sign him, we just need to stay in the Championship this year, that’s the priority, as in about the last 5 years one of the 3 promoted have gone back down.
Not until some club comes for him. SAFC Head Coach pays a lot more than job seeker's allowance.
It is difficult to know which players will be able to make the step up. However, signing half a dozen players with solid Championship (or Premiership) experience would help steady the ship. In our present situation I am not keen on recruiting from L1/L2 even if they are believed to have potential. We have enough untried and untested already.
