Everybody's forgotten that Allen wasn't match fit but coming back from a fairly long injury during the playoffs and actually had a good season by anybody's standard's. Still, some will consider him guilty of war crimes...
Doyle signed a four year contract extension in January 23 with an option for a further year. Would expect his loans to continue but each one to get more challenging.
The only thing that gives me hope is I don't think many Prem teams would risk a 19yr old centre back. Might be wrong but I think he may get a year abroad next, good learning experience

Not so sure, I reckon the Everton's, Forests and Sheff U's would happily give him a go
I think Doyle will end up at Southampton next season and if they go up they’ll sign him permanently. Just something I can see
Would seem a daft move to send him there but not to us in same league. Will have made vast progress with us, and certainly no guarantee he’d make it there.
Nah not for me, he is a prospect. They would sign him on perm if they had half a chance but I highly doubt he'd be given a starting spot in any Prem team. Too young too unproven. I don't think Man City would want him playing second fiddle . There is zero chance Dyche at Everton would in my opinion.
I suppose it would be due to money they can offer, also playing for a team with higher expectations and they seem to have a Man City link
Maatsen yes it’s true. But Clarke-Salter was a free agent and chose to go to QPR off his own back, and look how that worked out.
All I’m saying is that you have a stable set up with us. If Martin doesn’t start well at Southampton he could well be out of a job at Xmas.
The point is though to open players up to new experiences, new pressures, new situations and see how they cope.
Clarke-salter had multiple loans before even joining us. Clubs don't want their players staying in 1 place. It's about new experiences and styles of play etc
Fits their MO.
They have a bunch of Citeh kids on their books at this point. All signed for £10M+ too I think.
To be honest it's ridiculous to compare Doyle with Clarke-Salter. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Premier League next season despite his age. Would love him back though.
I wasn't comparing ability. I was pointing out clubs don't send their kids on loan to the same club twice
He will be another player that starts scoring goals by the bucket load like Clarke Harris.make a change of going to Shrewsbury.
