Wasn’t he in the stoke team against us last year?

Yes, subbed off in 2nd half.
Not sure what to make of this, we do need some quality in midfield, time will tell if he's the answer (if he signs).

We need pace and power in the midfield not a passenger

Think his footballing mojo went long ago. Was in media outlets flaunting the spoils of his wealth and he's been shite ever since.

Ah Facebook, that reliable source of transfer bullshit.
You know someone's career has gone down the toilet when you think they're older than they are or that they've retired altogether when they haven't. It's a bit like that crap sitcom e.g. Last of the Summer Wine where you think it finished years ago but it's still limping on past its best years without you noticing.
Or this is baseless bullshit.
You get a like there for the alliteration.
Maybe he had a bad injury and never recovered. I do think that's the usual explanation when a player peaks in their early 20s and is then a shadow of themselves thereafter.
Had it not been for his first hundred games or so, I doubt he would have had any pro contracts as the rest of his career didn't justify one, he was dining out on his reputation built in the first few seasons he played. All a bit too Stephen Hunt for me, let's steer well clear.

Yep, a bright pink Range Rover and a marble framed snooker table with his name and squad number woven into the felt if I recall correctly.

Merry Xmas everyone. I briefly wondered whether Doyle might be on his way elsewhere and now this rumour has resurrected that thought. (If indeed a thought can be resurrected, but let's not go there.)
Or Oucho is right and this rumour is baseless bullshit and not the total terrible truth.

Didn’t he lie about someone dying to get out of a game?

He lied said his grandmother had passed away but when the news circulated in Ireland his grandmother rang the local radio station to say she was alive. He wouldn't have the hunger to get stuck in to life in league one a luxury player That would offer nothing to us. His career is over we don't need another passenger

Best to avoid signing Ireland - he's got more bling than talent & he'll only annoy Doyle!

No thanks. Why would any team want him?

I think he said he was sorry about all the lies and was now seeking professional help ......but sadly he also lied about that too

He has been garbage and injury prone since leaving Man City, so he will fit in here well.

More then Bakayoko
Let’s be honest none of us know if this is true and even more if Ireland is any good now, thought he was okay years ago at Man City but not really followed him since, would probably be a short term signing and let’s remember we are third division. I would love us to go out and buy an established younger midfield player who will strengthen and improve our midfield for two or three years and we build a team around but we ain’t got that sort of finance either for fee or wages. Don’t think we should make judgement yet, I remember the outcry when we signed Dennis Wise who rammed the dissenters words right down their throats.

The lie about his grandmother dying was because his girlfriend had a miscarriage and she didn’t want people to know about it. Nothing to do with ‘trying to get out of playing a game’.
