He was never injured with his either, he's one of those players who is just incredibly fit I think.

Still played din't he. I for one am happy about this. He'll give us some much needed bite (sorry) and experience in the middle.

He literally just started every single game for the League Two Champions. EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. This isn't us signing Peter Ramage, Darius Henderson or Stephen Hunt from out of nowhere. It's bringing in an experienced head who knows the league and what it takes to get out of it. Something we desperately needed.

But he is any good? He was shite for us before. Start every game and lose every game isn't much use either is it.

He is the opposite to Cian Harris, the lower down the leagues, the better he will be.

Took bloody years to get rid of him first time round, now he's back again!

Taking their sweet time to announce it, maybe he's changed his mind having realised McSheffrey's not here any more.

Good first piece of the puzzle, I'll wait until we get the Guillaume Beuzelin signing over the line before I get too excited though

One of the worst players we had at that time. Hard to believe he's improved much. It's a no from me. Younaaaaaaaarrrrr.

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, but after seeing such an inept team last season without any bite, recruiting someone who is that sort of player, knows how to lead a team, and is coming from the existing Champions of the league we are going down to isn't a bad thing. At the very least his knowledge and experience of trying to get out of it will be a benefit, if nothing else.

If he plays and scores goals like this one against Preston, I personally don't give a f**k how old he is.

I always remember the Doyle goal, but that first one's a bit good too isn't it? Holds off the man, turns on a sixpence, straight in the corner. Bosh!

Looks like they are sad to see him go

You will go far copying my posts!

Imagine if the word was ex player Doyle and we are really getting the keeper

I see Gilbert is taking a hammering for trying to jump into CCFC's tweets with the links to the telegraph.

I'd do that every time if I could be arsed.

Edit, I would do if the Telegraph hadn't been block happy :emoji_cold_sweat:

Hammer Gilbert? Will you at least buy him a drink first?

Nah, he's from Canley. He should buy me one to say thanks.*

*I will just add that this is clearly not serious, just I know that people seem to have issues understanding when things are serious and when things aren't.

Like it. Good signing and if Bigi stays might teach him a thing or two like Wise once did for Doyle.

We are a League Two side, he is a League Two player, moaning about how he was in the Championship is silly.

I was never a fan of Doyle, but I thought we were better when he was in the team......Strange!

Every team needs a Doyle.

definitely not unhappy about this, slight reservation about his age, but plenty of players continue to perform well at older. The team has needed someone of his ilk for several years. Felt in the past he got unfair criticism and when he didn't play the team missed him. But as said above it is what he can bring to the team, in L2 that is important

should be able to show a few of our younger midfielders the dark arts and street smart they often lack.
Then again, Tudgay was supposed to show our younger strikers how to score goals.

He was of the 'do as I say not as I do' school.

Is that the 'big news'?

Still I always like to see a defensive player in midfield.

Haven't (again!) read through all the thread, but waiting for Stephen Hughes to now join and watch the forum go into meltdown!!

Bar their GK he played the most minutes (as captain) in the best team in the league that we will be playing in. I cant understand how its even a remotely bad signing.

For the people saying he was crap last time round, he left us, what, 8 years ago? why can't he have improved in 8 years?

Why do the club keep giving me reasons to want to boycott!!! They should be giving me reasons to want to go!!

One part of one of the poorest midfield pairings I've seen in my time supporting CCFC!

Best thing Page did in his time was knock this tool out!

He left us 6 years ago whilst we were a Championship club. We got relegated the year after....
