Or just a brain in Doyle's case.

There is a difference between a battler like Doyle and one like Carsley ....

You need a footballing brain too , Jennings isnt going to win us games with bursts of skill but will hopefully stop us losing them through inability to shut games out

I don't think anyone's saying that. They're just optimistic over a new signing in the hope he'll be good. The nerve.

Clearly you have skipped many posts on the forum for the last month then. All i keep reading is how amazing he will be and will be signing of the season, no hope more assumption.

I haven't read it like that. I think people are more excited because its dragged on and it seems to be coming to an end. I'm excited by the prospect of seeing all the signings but I will need to be convinced by every one of them that they're up to it.

Im not saying he is shit im just not assuming he is fantastic like many on here. I say what i see and at Bristol he didnt demonstrate to me a player who would add a lot to the side. I hope im proved wrong but that doesnt mean im going to rush to get excited over his signing like many on here.

I think many on here realise the need for an experienced ball winner in the middle of the park .He was a fans favourite at Tranmere and was an integral part of Motherwells run into Europe .

I dont think he is an amazing player but i certainly think he is a fantastic signing .

Hopefully we can sign a pacy wide player ( like Obita ) ,another striker and i would like another left back but can see Kilbane covering that position

Who said get excited?

He is not a player that gets you on the edge of your seat. He has a job to do. Div3 will be a battle. We have a lack of players like him.

Did you see where someone said he is good enough for the SPL but not Div3? Motherwell were near the top of the table. We lost to teams that were near the bottom of the table.

Stop talking out your arse, people have just said hes the signing we needed - a ball winner in the middle of the park. Noone was bigging him up that much.

About bloody time.

We now have a proper midfield. We have strikets that can score, defenders that can defend and a midfield to link the two together with one of them not scared to get stuck in. Son says he likes to put a tasty tackle in near the start of the game to let them know he is there

Great I look forward to him making all the difference for us then! But a player who has plied his skills at Motherwell and Tranmere is not very inspirational for me. I would love to be proven wrong. Battlers are a good thing like we had with Doyle but that never got us anywhere did it?
I remain to be convinced. Sorry.

Are you forgetting that we are in League One?

Not quite sure who you expect for a club in our position, Paxman.

You may have the ability to read. You are unable to comprehend what people are saying about him. Has anyone said he should be playing in the Prem? Has anyone even said he should be playing in the Championship?

What I have said he is just the player we need. He has been playing in arguably a better league than we are in now. We played a couple of friendlies against lower SPL clubs and lost. He was a fans favourite at Motherwell. My son was a season ticket holder at Motherwell whilst he was there. Says he thinks he will do a better job for us than Fleck. I am going by what my lad has told me, not what I have read. Not bigging him up though. You have a right to reserve judgement. Not to say something is being said that isn't though.

Would think playing 45 mins for us would make him one of our longest serving players.

great news, can`t believe that people are writing him off before he has even kicked a ball in a first team game for us though :jerkit:

Doyle is a woeful excuse of a footballer, always has been, why would you compare anyone to him

Doyle wasn't an awful footballer he wasn't the best sure but at least he got the basics right he was excellent and sheff utd last season and became captain, he always gives 100% aswell.

I comprehend everything. Your posts have bordered on obsessive in your praise of him. I have read countless threads and posts such as 'best signing of the season' when nobody has a clue about him. As ive said i hope he turns out as many people seem to think but having seen him play at Bristol im dubious.
