Read that in an Australian accent. Would have been even better if you'd added "mate" at the end.

Besiktas are going to push hard to get MVE apparently. I feel his sale will trigger the next lot of signings for us.

I can see us going for someone like Ben Mee to organise the defence.I would love Doug to just try and sign Doyle. He's had 3 seasons in the Championship, ready to go and has a high potential. Clearly likes the club and is already friends with some of the squad. Gives us the option to play in a three at the back if we need to chase a game. It's not my money but I'd go all out for him instead of strikers, they will be ok this year.
I'd be surprised if we went for someone like Ben Mee, he is 35.I can see us going for someone like Ben Mee to organise the defence.
I would say we have as much chance of signing Doyle as we have Bertaccini - i.e. noneIs it Callum Doyle day today
I saw Isak at Ryton as I drive past this morning. He is having his medical at the same clinic Dolan usedI would say we have as much chance of signing Doyle as we have Bertaccini - i.e. none
If we do sell MVE we would be one of only a few clubs that could afford him and where the move would make sense for Doyle.I would say we have as much chance of signing Doyle as we have Bertaccini - i.e. none
A loan to buy if promoted I’m ok with for that sort of feeI’ll be honest I’d be pretty pissed off if we dropped £10m on any defender but especially one who has been playing for middling championship sides.

And with him we would have a really strong chance.A loan to buy if promoted I’m ok with for that sort of fee

1 goal and 7 assists for a defender in a mid table side isn't shabby. Otherwise his loans have been to playoff sides or better and he is still only 21.
That's assuming Man City would agree to that ,and then they would say they want more than 10 million for him .A loan to buy if promoted I’m ok with for that sort of fee
He won the league when at Leicester, and got to within a penalty shootout of promotion with us. Hardly middlingI’ll be honest I’d be pretty pissed off if we dropped £10m on any defender but especially one who has been playing for middling championship sides.
He has/or had release clause of £1.6m for PL clubs only. So not sure what fee they would want from a Champ club.How much you reckon it would cost to get Tangana instead if Man City want too much for Doyle?
I swear someone posted he had a minimum release clause but maybe that was if it was a premiership team.
Either way, you could buy 3 solid centre backs for £10m as opposed to Doyle

If promoted with him in defence we could afford more and he'd be worth it.That's assuming Man City would agree to that ,and then they would say they want more than 10 million for him .
He would instantly be worth £25m if we got promoted with him in defence startingIf promoted with him in defence we could afford more and he'd be worth it.
Not the stat I’d use to judge a defender personally.
He’s had one loan to a top champ side in Leicester and only made 17 appearances. I know people love him but he seems wildly overhyped. I wouldn’t spend more than £4m on him and clearly Man City think he’s worth more than that. So I’d look elsewhere.

Facts and figures read both waysHe won the league when at Leicester, and got to within a penalty shootout of promotion with us. Hardly middling
Assists aren’t a relevant stat for left backs? Interesting shout.
He’s 21 and already won the championship and finished in the top 6. Who are these players you are finding ‘elsewhere’
I’d hardly say we’re a mid table teamHe played around half the games he was available for Leicester. We were a mid table side like Norwich. We still are.
Facts and figures read both ways
Luton didn't buy him after the final
Leicester didn't my him after they were promoted.
He was at Sunderland the season before us and they haven't bought him![]()
Injured at Leicester, full season at Norwich and both managers saw enough in him to play at right back which is not his best position just to get him in the team. Buying Doyle, if affordable would be similar to a Rolex in as much as it would be cash neutral with the chance of making a good profit. For someone like Doug thats the cold sort of business decisions he likes and the kid is desperate for a stable club rather than loans. Like I said before though it aint my money.PUSBNot the stat I’d use to judge a defender personally.

If he wasn't at Man City and instead had come through the academy of a team like Norwich he wouldn't be more than £4-5m. I was impressed with him in the home game against Norwich last season but wouldn't pay any more than £5m for him.I'd be disappointed if we dropped so much on Doyle. Great on the ball but he's slow and no more experienced than any of the centre backs we've got.
