On loan til Jan but a fee's been agreed for after then
Isn’t he just on loan with option to buy in Jan?
Unless we say he's faulty and we want our money back.On loan til Jan but a fee's been agreed for after then
Agree , Chaplin is a striker and needs to be in and around the penalty area,I was surprised with his pace when he was attempting to round his man however......another topic about him is his strike partner.
My personal opinion is he’s not playing in the right role, with the right man or side set up to benefit him.
To me he’d be a far better predictor playing off a natural target man. I’d say if you went and got Jayden Stockley in January then he’d have the perfect partner to be a predator in the box.
However you’d then need to get a natural winger and stick with a 442 or use Sterling in a more advanced role bringing and Jack Grimmer back in at right back. The summer recruitment was built around the side playing 4231 so we’re lacking natural wide players.

It's fine lines and essentially boils down to whether what Doyle brings to the team adds more overall value than we lose in the concessions we have to make elsewhere on the pitch because of him. I'd be making that decision on a game by game basis now.I see your point here having to play deep to help with Doyle’s legs same as Bayliss but who replaces Doyle ?
Pompey fans nailed it with him he needs a big man to play off I feel he would do well with an actual target man but having to play so deep and not being the fastest it will hinder him.Seems unfair to compare him in pace to Thomas who would leave most in league one for dead. Chaplin is decent over 5 yards, but also don't think that's his game to get around a man. He's a finisher who does need to be in the box, but strikers typically come deep for the ball when they don't feel involved.
Also, not sure why people are saying Doyle's legs have gone, he's played every league game, has the most completed passes in league 1 with 80% completion rate, without him our team would not tick. He's essential to the way we try to play football, he's most definitely still the engine of the team and I'd have him in my team every week - especially with the young team that we do have. Doyle reads the game in the sense that he doesn't have to cover massive amount of ground like he did when he was younger. If anything he was exploited at the weekend because of Ogogo's lack of positional sense.
