Callum Doyle

Nearly another assist yesterday and a decent shot, too, but defensively he gave his man a little too much space at Bristol City’s second.

 
He’s had more, more impressive loans than THB, Delap, McAtee, Rogers etc. Also, can play both LB & CB. If anyone deserves a shot next year, it’s him.
Should 100% be part of the first team squad next season, even if it means moving someone like Ake on. I personally think Doyle has a higher ceilling than THB
 
Problem for a club like City is that every position has to be proven world class and how do you prove you can be that with loans. I would guess he will be sold and club will spend 50/60+ million on a proven CL defender.

Unfortunate cost of being one of best club sides in the world is it makes it very difficult to trust youth
 
Still difficult to say until we see him playing at the top level, but I think he could ultimately be shaped to play in the role that Stones has filled. He’s not blessed with great pace, which concerns me at fullback or at centre back, especially when playing a high line, but he more than makes up for that with a sharp football brain and his ability to pick a pass. Given the ageing defence we have and their expiring contract dates, keeping Doyle for 25-26 would make more sense than another loan or sale. Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, with Doyle stepping forward could be a solid platform.
