Summer 2026 Transfer Window Thread

Neither low cost or comfortable as a backup given his apparent moaning and disgruntled nature from last year.

You know, I’m beginning to think you don’t rate the guy

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Blues fans like Doyle, seem to think he is being restricted by a really negative manager.

 

[Kenny]

He will come back next season. Deal to sign was only if they got promoted. He will be the type of player Rob likes and the exactly the type Fosun will like - already ours, so no transfer fee.

I had a 6 month period where I barely mentioned him, and it was unbelievably hard work and not worth it mentally!

Finally getting our business done early!

 

[Del Woppio]

He'll be like a new signing imo

 

[Tredman]

Given most / all of our new signings are shit he’ll fit right in. Again.

 

[YoungWolf]

the ones who couldn’t understand why he was behind Andre/Lemina and Gomes will be delighted

 

[Alan]

I mean… we could probably do worse?

Can't even hold down a starting spot in a mid-table team in the league we should be looking to win next season. Hopefully we flip him elsewhere when he returns

Odd one as Blues fans seem to like him and think the manager is a twat for not playing him.
Some of that might be standard player not in favour suddenly becomes 50x better than he is and also they dont like the manager anymore as they haven't pissed the League like they thought they would.

Paradox here being I think they’re also the ones who thought Andre and Gomes were better than Moutinho and Neves. Making Tommy Tommy Tom Tom the latter day Maradona.

Blues fans I've spoken to aren't bothered either way on Doyle which is pretty damning considering they are average at absolute best in the league we need to try and get out of. I think he's a reasonably good player technically but he's not got the pace or mobility to be a starter for a team looking for promotion I don't think.

 

[Kenny]

At least he is a fairly low cost dud. £5m wasnt he?

 

[sycophantia]

If he stays hopefully just back up.

The ones I've spoken too are pissed off he doesn't play more and when he does, he has the handbrake put on him by a negative manager.

Personally, I think Doyle would be a good player to have in the squad, as bloke and a player.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He definitely takes a good set piece.

Something that has been awful this season.
