Eoin Doyle

[Lago]

Reported that Doyle, scorer of 21 goals to date, is the Jan target of a number of championship clubs. Have to say was missed at ER. Good luck to the boy he's done well.

[nellio]

His name came up on the Cardiff city forum I post on. Manager Russel slade looking to bring in low earners to balance the books.

IMO not good enough for Cardiff, we're a team trying to get back to the Prem but could do a job as a squad player perhaps for other championship clubs.

[hibeg]

I think he will easily fit into a championship team. At Hibs I thought his movement off the ball was excellent and to be honest IMO he was one step ahead of most of the other players.

[weecounty hibby]

I thought he was a very good player who got himself into some great positions and would have scored more if LG had passed a wee bit more. Will never forget his equaliser in the SC semi against Falkirk. Would have him back at ER in a minute

[cam75]

£2m price tag :)

[hibeemikey21]

Have to admit that I'm astonished by how well he's done. Never thought he was good enough. Delighted for him all the same

I would 100% agree with that - Never forget that semi final goal.

Seriously ? if that is true then RP has played another blinder there.

[Spike Mandela]

Why is it so astonishing to some people that players can actually improve as they get older and gain more experience in football.

The raw inexperienced player we had with potential a few years ago has clearly improved and has worked hard at his career so good luck to him.

Sometimes all that is required during the development of a player is a bit of patience, a quality sadly lacking in the football supporting community, myself included unfortunately.

I think he lacks pace to play at a level above where he is now.....would be interesting to see how he does though....

Agree!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Why is there no comment about the level that he is playing at?

[erin go bragh]

I though he looked a player when he first joined us . In the Keith Keith Keith mould . But that semi goal apart , cant think of any more magic moments . Good luck to him .

He suffered from the fact that he played in the same team as griffiths, sparky rarely passed when he was near the box. Its amazing that he scored as many as he did.

Is there a sell-on clause? I thought he was at the end of his contract.

I think he's hsving a dig at Rod.

The level he is playing at is poor

He may well have scored a few goals in the Scottish Championship had he stayed but I thought he was quite poor for us and if anything got worse throughout his time here. His first touch was horrible at times and he just didn't do enough to get another contract. He's not the kind of player we need if we are to be a success in the premiership when we get back up. Having said that he did always seem to give 100% so best of luck to the guy.

And for anyone who is going to suggest League 1 in england is a good standard, Matt Done has 10 goals already in the same league

What? He suffered because he played with a really good player? That's a new one, not only can players suffer from playing with **** players, now they can suffer from playing with good ones as well.

He suffered from the fact that more often than not he didn't do much when he was in the team. He looks like he's doing well now, and good for him, but I wasn't sad to see him go when he did.

Pace is one thing I'd say he does have. He was raw when he was with us but he had attributes that you could see being built on, with the right coaching and experience.

He did well enough with us - he was moving up a level and raised his game enough to get a move up again. If he's continued to progress - and everything suggests he has - then he has earned and deserves this opportunity.

I liked him. He grafted and looked like he cared which was more than could have been said about many at the club when he was here.

[Oranje39]

I always liked him in the team, always felt he would give 100%. Seems to be paying off for him, Well done Eoin.

Speaking of ex forwards I see Clayton Donaldson scored a couple at the weekend in the Championship. Can't remember which team but think it was one doing well.

For Birmingham who are starting to climb out of trouble. He was cracking them in for Brentford before his (last-pay-day) move.

[KeithTheHibby]

Fenlon let Doyle leave and replaced him with Vine. Has to be one of the worst pieces of business considering we were losing LG.

Doyle wasn't brilliant but had raw talent. Good luck to him.

Not true KTH . Doyle turned down our offer as he wanted to hook up with his old manager . ( no sure if our offer was poor tho )

He suffered because he was always going to play second fiddle to griffiths.

[Stevie Reid]

Always rated Doyle and was very disappointed when he left. He would have made a huge difference last season.

[johnbc70]

Sure I heard Doyle was one of the lowest paid first team players at the club, on less than £20K a year. I am sure the new deal offered to him would not be much more so good luck to him as he 100% made the right call in leaving us and trying his luck down south.

[Onceinawhile]

I always liked Doyler, not the best finisher, but got a decent return.

Great movement and a good header despite his lack of height.

Peach vs Aberdeen too.

As an aside, how many brilliant assists did Paul Cairney get.

Yep, he had something about him that you thought he was worth keeping a hold of.

He was on a very poor wage, the new offer wasn't much better,
