Would Doyle be stupid to go to Wolves?

[Alan Partridge]

All the best to an excellent player. Seemed to make it a habit to turn a bit shit after Xmas like the whole team but even so he's a very good player who should and will be in the Premier League. Unlike Stoke and Kitson, Wolves have got him at near his peak and I think he'll do well for them. £6.5million is some fee for someone that cost £78,000 a few years ago, it'll be interesting to see who is bought to replace him. I would hope that Rodgers even before pre season starts has a rough idea of what he wants and maybe we might see some good news on the official site for a change.

This is the first of the sales and it won't be the last, shame but ultimately obvious. This is Reading's last season witha bit of an advantage over some clubs with regard to the parachute money so lets hope they use some of it!

I honestly think he'll still be here in September, which in all honesty would be hilarious. Annoying....bt hilarious.

Cheers, Doyler, thanks for all the goals and 100% effort from the minute you got here to the minute you left. Who knows how many goals he might have scored, or where we'd be now, had the people around him shown half his consistent endeavour, effort and creativity over the last two seasons (still in the Prem, and with him still wearing our shirt, I suspect). Rightly Irish player of the year, rightly playing at the top level again. Wolves will be my Prem team next season, and it's Ireland for the World Cup as far as I'm concerned. One of the best we've ever had, and another tremendous piece of business by the Coppell/Hammond axis. Good luck to him, and good luck to Wolves.

[frimmers]

surely he has gone to wolves?..as the bbc says?

I think I'd have the same feeling in the pit of my stomach that I have now if that is the case come September 1st...

Its a good move for all parties really, I don't think it was realistic to expect him to stay for another season in the championship. He did the honourable think last season in staying and trying to get us promoted. As Nick Hammond said he has been a model professional for Reading and its sad he has left, but it works for all of us including Reading get a decent fee rather than losing players like Lita and Sidwell for nothing. I just hope the club have a view on a good replacement because if they think Long and Mooney are going to step up, then its going to be a painful season for us.

+1 except for the good luck to Wolves bit although I hope he does well for them.
An inevitable departure. A great player. Should have held out for a bigger club.

[Great Knolly]

Thanks Doyler.

In keeping with most of what he's ever done, a good sensible decision by him. Prem football and regular starts in a World Cup season. £6.5 Million to us: pretty good business.

And his goodbye message on the official site is just about the best I've ever read. Quality bloke. Best of luck Kev.

High wages for a player that could well be sat on the bench if he doesn't buck his ideas up is not a good thing though. Would certainly deflate his ego though, if no-one comes in for him. AGAIN.

Stephen Hunt is an average footballer, always has been and always will be. He can gloss it over with fancy boots, long hair, Ronaldo style free kicks and mickey mouse awards like 442's 5th best player or whatever. He is absolutely average. Which is why no one in their right mind has come in and bid the sort of fees banded around in the gutter press. The bloke unlike Doyle has been walking round with a huge come and get me sign for the last year and a half and he's still here LOL. The only problem is it's us who suffers having to watch the intolerable Irishman every week.

I would love to see him move on in all honesty, take any fee and try and rebuild a team without the likes of Hunt on a mega money contract for sod all in return, but unless someone like Burnley want him I don't think he'll go anywhere.

He doesn't want to leave. If you're happy somewhere, why leave? I never understand the mentality of someone who's happy, but leaves to "further their career". Happiness >>>>>> career.

Don't forget the only time he plays well is when he's after a new contract - and he'll be after a contract with someone else.

Let's hope BR manages him as well as SC managed Sidwell when he'd decided to leave.

I think he will just continue blame Reading for 'blocking' his move rather than figure out he's just not as good as he thinks he is.

[handbags_harris]

To be fair to Sidwell, he had a bit more "up top". SH is just a thick as pigshit pikey.

[Thaumagurist*]

He's gone to the wrong club.

[Maguire]

Chuffed to bits with the money, if it gets reinvested etc etc

Good luck to him too, had a couple of good seasons.

I think that's why he's settled for Wolves - their fans will hate the comparison (a "big club" with "history", whatever those meaningless terms are supposed to represent) but they do bear similarities to us: a bunch of young lads (a few of them Irish) new to the Premiership at a club with a tight, family feel and a management team that possesses a down-to-earth team ethic. I thought he should go to Fulham, who have similar attributes, but the boy is loyal to the core and has gone for the club that showed the first interest and committed themselves to signing him.

i doubt you or 80% of your fans do either to be fair! But good luck to him, I think it's the right move for him as he will be playing every week. Not gone to a club where he'll be bit part, he's 25 needs to play and will get that at Wolves. Of the 3 teams going up I think they have the best chance of doing half decent so I don't think it's that bad a move for him at all.
