Average of 49 games for the last 12 seasons. at least he stays fit will be 34 next month.
Good point but maybe Division 2 will suit him at his age.
Sorry but Doyle was an awful player for us. Technically limited footballer who got away with it for years by huffing an puffing his way round the pitch and not getting injured very often. We were also crap when he was here remember.
When were we not crap?
True. More so in response to those saying how much worse we've got since he left.
We have though.
It might be whether you prefer white dog poo to your normal stuff, but we've still got worse!
Good. Can we all now stop harking on about bringing him back and starting a new thread every time he farts?
Utter shite player who's only redeeming attribute of "running around a lot and getting stuck in" left us vulnerable due to him being out of position or giving away silly fouls in dangerous areas.
"But he could do a job ..."
No. No he could not.

Crap? constant name on the team sheet at Sheff United and fighting for promotion each season doing the dirty part of the game for them, developed as time went on, and scored vs us at their place.
So if hes crap, shows how bad our midfield is.
Will do a decent job for Pompey in what looks like a decent side being put together by PC.
Our midfield has been vulnerable for years, Doyle got better as he got older, was shit for us, but ever present for sides fighting for promotion ( Leeds / Sheff Utd ) so must do something right, Id rather have Doyle in my midfield trying to make a tackle rather than a Finch or whatever fairy we want to play their not tackling at all and letting the opposition completely dominate them each game.
Anyway good luck to him.
The key word there is 'trying' to make a tackle. That's exactly how I remember him.
Rather a tryer than a bottler mate.

Think I'm in an ever decreasing number who think we miss him.
Nobody gives us energy and drives us forward from midfield since he left, the side's got worse and worse since he left, and centre midfield is particularly one-paced and lethargic.
Sure, he's not perfect, and that's why he never played for Arsenal... but he's a lot better than most of what followed him IMNSHO.
And they think they are going up? Ha ha
lucky escape with this one
That said, Barton should be worried. Or is he going to be the 'Hughes' in the newly formed Hughes and Doyle combo?
