Tommy Doyle | Signs for Wolves | will be confirmed Jul 1st

[Centurions]

Could he be the reserve stand in for the Kovacic role?
I think him and McAtee could easily be part of a squad and get 20/25 games each.
Guess it’s whether that would be enough for them.

A stand-in for a stand-in? I don't think Kovacic plays enough (so far) to require a stand-in.

Wolves fans seem to think that part of the agreement to take him on loan was that they have an option to buy for just 4.5m. Surely that’s not right…

This is correct, by all accounts it was a sweetener as part of the deal for you signing Nunes from us

It is but we have a 50% sell on clause built in

Crikey, They'd be mad not to take up that option.
THB on loan at Southampton is a compulsory buy should they get promoted.
I'm assuming our bean counters are on top of these deals.
If we have sell on/ buy back clauses built in it may make sense

A Wolves fan told me the same.

£4.5M for Tommy seems a bargain as did the £2M for Tosin that Fulham paid.
Both players were very well regarded at the club and Tommy of course has the family history.
I think sentiment sometimes plays a part in these deals.

 

[lightning Rodri]

How did he do yesterday against the lucky ones?

I also think these deals encourage others to join the 'setup'.
What a message;
'Come get a great football education then if you don't make it with us we'll let you move on without asking ridiculous money and scuppering your chances of playing at the highest level possible'.

You can add Morgan Rogers to that list now.

It makes perfect sense when they are only on short contracts and if you don't agree anything they just let it run out. Far better to have something than nothing.

None of our players played well yesterday, hangover from Sundays win. Doyle had an average game

 

[decmancity]

MOTM today, really good performance.

Of course Wolves will take up their option but you never know if he will return, we have a 50% sell on also I believe so covered either way.

I think we’d riot if we didn’t take up the option :)
Another stand out performance today .

I really think he could have been useful for us this season. He is good on the ball and would be a better option in midfield than Alvarez or Nunes in games where we need to look after the ball. Glad he looks like he will have a good career but some regrets about what might have been.

I like him to mate but, I think Pep sees a lot of flaws in his game one being decision making and Pep just doesn't believe he can play for us, I'm guessing the alarmingly low fee is a good will gesture from the club,there is also the chance that it is the same situation as the Palmer one in that he wanted to go.
We just don't know the full story and have to trust Pep.

The loan and low option was part of the Nunes deal

Thank you I never new that.

 

[Centurions]

Thank you I never new that.

Unless I've missed something, I suspect that's more supposition rather than a hard fact.

 

[herrock]

Very impressed with him today. Keeping him instead of Phillips would definitely have been a better option.

I think he's been rather quiet so far to be honest.
