Hibs transfer rumours

Does anyone other than PF rate Doyle?

Doyle reminds me of Kenny Miller. He (Eion) is a very intelligent off the ball footballer. Watch his movement closely in games, in particular watch how he always plays with his head up and remains onside. Makes use of space well, loses markers, looks across the line, gets in behind.

Against Dunfermline he also ran into the channels, picking up the ball, and importantly retaining it. He needs however a quicker player than GOC to play alongside, and a player who holds the ball up better. Leigh and Doyle would be a terrific partnership, however this would rely on a good, quick passing game - neither will win very many ariel battles.

Doyle will be a mainstay next season I think.

[The Sea-gull]

He'll likely get many better offers than anything we'd be willing/able to give him.

Besides, don't think I have ever known a player to become so entrenched in yammishness and yammery so quickly over such a short period of time. Nothing against us signing ex-yams but there are certain ones that I could not face having to support and despite his short stay there, he is one of them.

Yeah, he has decent pedigree and would do well in the spl and did well enough for them though can't help but feel his contribuation has been a bit over stated by many yams and non-yams alike. He was there for about 3 months and scored three goals albeit a derby goal and a semi final winner (a penalty though, most professionals can score them) among them but he hardly charged them towards a top finish in the league and single handedly got them to the cup final.

Plus, he is another player who seems to spend more time on the treatment table than the pitch. He'd take up too much of our budget and I'd rather strengthen in a couple more positions than pay over the odds for the likes of him.

Obvious problem, wages.

I think the Huns are keen to get him. especially after his tweets on Twitter this morning when he was going on about the Glorious 12th.

Me. I think he's one of our best players. Great vision and movement off the ball and believe it or not has a good goalscoring record when you look at the amount of minute's he's played. Definitely one to hold on to.

What are his goal scoring/ minutes played stats? ( if you have them to hand)

Once he is up to speed with the SPL he could be a good player for us. Good movement and awareness, just needs a wee bit more pace and strength and he will do for me.

[Big90inOz]

The guy will be a star, he makes space for himself in the box, he runs the line and the channels very well, we just don't have the players to find him.

I remember the game where Kenny Dalglish told Keith Wright, " you run the channels and I'll find you" result was 4 goals to Keith that day.

Don't know the goals-minutes ratio but Doyle has started 8 times and scored 3 goals - he has come off the bench 8 times.

I really believe that he will be excellent for us next season.

It's been like that for seasons now.

Whilst admirable (and possibly unavoidable) the club allowing Zemmama to go on loan for the 2008-09 season robbed us of having him supply a front 3 of Riordan, Fletcher and Nish (in his best period with us). That was sore.

Would like to see us add width on both sides.

Is he not a Celtic lad, probably can't wait to see the real demise of the once mighty Rangers.

No, family all supported the now defunct Rangers. Wonder who they follow now?

This HAS to be a tongue-in-cheek question. Doesn't it ? Doyle will be a big hit bthis season. He showed great pace/positional sense/movement etc etc last season to suggest that with a full pre-season under his belt would be more than capable in holding his own in the SPL. We now just need to find someone to compliment him, someone like ....Sutton would be ideal imo

We need someone with pace next to him imo. The target man system just doesn't work with Hibs. Let's cast our minds back to, Konte, Donaldson, Trakys, Sodje... Hardly big hits!

Someone like Leigh next to ED will be a great partnership IMO. As long as the ball is kept on the ground and we go back to the JC/CIS Final play style.

I assumed because he was a Celtic player but after checking his Wiki it does say he played youth level for Rangers, his boyhood team.

I agree with every thing else but it was tony mowbray that we had that style with not John Collins, I think he was poor in charge of us and that is when we went downhill


Doyle has a brilliant football brain and I could see cairney being a midfield player who will find his runs and link up well with him.

Actually Trakys was an example of how it does work, although he only played about 3 games the Rangers and Motherwell games I think they were, were about the most complete centre forward performances we've had for some time - he was holding it up and it allowed midfield players to get forward and score goals.

Chris Killen comes to mind as well, Mixu would be another.

If you mean complete in the sense of no goals, shots at goal or headers on goal I would agree

Failing these attributes you are correct in that he did hold the ball up well and link the play

Yes, I must be getting on, and becoming less charitable by each passing year.

He reminds me of the Paul Wright years…flatters to deceive and punchless.
My main thing for strikers is simply put the white spherical thingy inside that net past that man in the garish jersey.

And Brewster, the best of the lot.

Paul Wright wasn't punchless, he was a constant danger and had a superb strike on him. He had been an excellent signing until that monster Neil Berry blatantly injured him - he was also torturing Hearts that day, until he went off. Were winning 1-0 and lost 2-1 IIRC - think it may also have been the game that Goram had an injured finger and Wayne Foster found an excuse to follow through on him with a challenge. Cue Goram letting a soft Robertson free kick slip through.

From what I have seen Doyle is nothing like Paul Wright, looks good in a different way.

Would agree. Prior to his Achilles snapping the guy was outstanding. 15 goal by xmas and could do loads... Hold it up, pass, header and run the channels.
