probably be loaned out to carlisle just to get him used to being away from homeHe'll be loaned out. He's know where near Premier standard yet and anyway we've got Jodi Jones now !
CT reckons £450K plus potential add ons, also no indication of % of any sell on fee. To me it sounds like the deal has been structured to maximise money paid now rather than taking a risk and hoping for a bigger windfall a few years down the line.Hmm, that's phrased in a way that suggests the £500k is if all the add-ons come to fruition.
The package is understood to be £450,000 plus add-ons subject to how successful the 20-year-old is during his time with the Foxes.
Still probably 3 times the offer made here.I doubt he will be on more than £150k a year. Still a good salary and more than we will pay but not mega bucks until he makes the first team squad and he is miles away from that.
Why do say his head has been turned by agents?Another young head that's been turned by agents!
Last pre season he was little known, so 'reports' he was on youth wages were probably accurate.
Less than Half a decent season, and lets face it took him a while to get to that point, and suddenly he's good enough for a premiership reserve team?
i just hope he takes another leaf out of Sambou's books and too posts regular updates on his insta about how much he's enjoying reserve football!!
Football is a short career and I think this move will likely make his even shorter, none more so because he's missed a pre season and has joined a team where he's unlikely to make the first team!
Hope he proves me wrong (but there's more chance of me liking Doyle by the end of the season than that happening I suspect)
If you were on £50k a year and someone offered you £300k a year but you wouldn't learn anything new, would you do it?Good luck to him, but I feel like this is a mistake for him.

Would it be a mistake?
No thanksPeople on social media starting with abuse and calling him and Maddison snakes.
There's things like Maddison diving all the time and Thomas' deal being dragged out but jesus, who wouldn't turn that down? It's not really a point you can call them out on.
Add into the fact it's his hometown as well. It's like one of us getting offered £300k to move to Cov.
No thanks

We can't have 2 Doyle'sI'd do it tomorrow for £35k and be the biggest cliche footballer ever. The one who's shit but people like because he puts a tackle in, kisses the badge and gets the crowd going.
I think it was a perfect time to move. He's 20 yrs old remember, not 17 - Short career and all that - earning potential. Wasted at this level and I'm sure he'll be loaned out to a C'ship club at some point this season.All the best to him, I don't particularly think this move was the best for his career but time shall tell.

Yet another we've successfully brought on into the game, I wish him well.
What incentive was there for them to stay?If a handful of these players had stayed we'd be heading up the leagues, not down.
Or we'd have gone bust.If a handful of these players had stayed we'd be heading up the leagues, not down.

Is he not capable of summising that his prospects are better at LCFC than with us.
Frankly only an absolute fool would turn down the opportunity and set himself up for life or a good part of it, even if he fails.
He is infinitely better off learning at Leicester no matter what you experts think.
Finger on the pulse as ever....Now official

Lions and sheep..........I think Maddison is a snakey little tosser, he was a total prick after he was sold to Norwich and was sent back to us. His body language and application was appalling, he didn't give a fuck about us as soon as he got his pay day. Even if we were no longer paying his wages, he could of shown us some respect.
Maddison also makes a big deal of praising anyone that leaves us with a shovel, when Fleck joined Sheff Utd he was dumping it on.
All the best to George Thomas, will always remember him for that goal.

As he is no longer our player could we not close this thread, simply because none of us should care about him anymore
Oh I definitely think it was the right time for him to move on, I just think perhaps the choice of club could have been better. I just can't see him ever being in contention for the Leicester first team even after being sent somewhere on loan, he's about the 8th choice striker. Perhaps if he moved to a championship club who would really want him and gave him the opportunity to make his mark then he could find a better route to progress. As a loan striker if he doesn't start scoring soon then he can easily get binned off.
