Time to map out a plan for Villa's future
- Says blogger Matthew Turvey
Wolves could lose Doyle warns boss
Friday 7th May 2010, 11:30AM BST.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has admitted the club could not stand in the way if a bigger club comes in for star striker Kevin Doyle this summer.
The manager is confident of keeping his prize asset, providing long term interest from more established clubs does not solidify.
Champions League qualifiers Tottenham as well as Villa and Everton are all admirers of the 26-year-old, who has top scored with eight goals this season.
But cashing in on Doyle is the last thing Wolves want as they try to attract the players to help them establish in the Premier League next season.
The player himself is settled happily in the area, has never played better and is not the sort to be easily swayed by outside influences.
But the club are realistic and know if that interest did turn serious they would have the very different problem of getting the best possible price for the £6.5million record signing.
McCarthy admitted the club are powerless to prevent the Republic of Ireland international leaving if the big boys come knocking.
Asked of his confidence in Doyle remaining a Wolves player, McCarthy said: “Yes I am confident. He makes his own mind up about things.
“But we all know how football works – Doyle is a Wolves player but if Manchester United, Manchester City or Liverpool come hunting him, I’d have a real problem.
“Not everyone is for sale but sometimes you just can’t stop it. If a big enough club comes and asks, it’s difficult for anyone – it’s the way of the world.
“That’s the way it goes, just like if I go looking for someone else, they’ll be saying ‘Wolves are coming, it’s a Premier League club.’
“Doyle fits into that process exactly the same as anyone else. Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard might leave Liverpool – or we and Doyle oblivious to all that?
“If they’re a target for someone, we’re all a target.”
Speculation in his native Ireland persists that Doyle is being pressured to seek a move to a bigger club.
But McCarthy is confident Doyle, who is under contract for another three years, is his own man and will make his own decision.
He said: “Kevin looks after himself – he hasn’t got any agent and no one is nibbling my ears about him, he’s terrific.”

In the meantime can we sign Nicky Maynard?

What MM says is true BUT why do we need to make this public in the media??? Are we ‘advertising’ our crown jewels for sale???
I hope NOT
We hope for better!
Up the Wolves!!!

Am i the only one not taking crazy pills!!!!!
Doyle has been poor all session and isn’t worth the money we paid for him at all.
What we need is a leader up front. Bring Back Ince, thats a true pro playing.
Doyle over rated, unskilled and eight goals. Poor. Craddock should go as well.

mick please shut up your causing more problems saying this!!!
does a contract mean nothing now a days ? if you dont want to sell no matter how much we get offered he is on contract to us so you dont have to sell him at all!
look at hunt in the summer from hull they didnt want to sell him did we get him ? NO!
its not rocket science people come in with an offer for him you say NO he is not for sale done job stop making a big deal out of everything as long as he is on contract with wolves he is a wolves player no matter what anyone else says! i tell u now if doyle goes we wont get a better striker this season at all!
your on about building the squad and aiming higher but your on about selling our best player!
sorry mick i rate you so much but i disagree a lot with this!

If we sell Doyle then really we may as well just pack up . I understand that if a big comes in for him it would be hard for us to keep him. We want to build next season and push for mid table . If we sell Doyle that will look great to potential targets we are after. I find these comments rather odd from MM . Almost as if we have had offers and we are trying to bump up the price.

I don’t think we’ll lose him.
I expect Doyle to be wearing the Number 10 shirt next season. Alongside Robbie Keane wearing Number 9.

I have watched Wolves since the 1960s. Kevin Doyle has the best first touch of any Wolves player I have ever seen. His touch and control made 4-5-1 work wonders for us this season. Mick made a key signing in bringing him to Wolves and we would be a diminished team without him. Wolves have big decisions to make about maintaining their wage structure and maintaining a great team approach. This could all collapse if we start paying unrealsitic, sums to current players like Kevin and newcomers. A team ethos is key to Wolves success. Kevin will have lots of media pressure from Ireland. This would be even stronger if Ireland were going to World Cup. Perhaps the key for what seems to be a very nice guy, like Doyle, is the quality of players we now bring in. If we don’t deliver some more quality players and offers come in for him he might be tempted. The big clubs can offer silly money. This would turn anybody’s head and unsettle them.We all hope Doyle stays. Putting an ace striker alongside him could see us really make a mark next season.

It’s a bit naive to reckon we are advertising Doyle with an article like this. The speculation about bigger clubs looking at him started weeks ago. The BBC MOTD mob certainly highlighted it.
We all know what happens in football. They kiss the badge one week and move on the next.
We’d all be a bit gutted if he went to Arsenal, just like Rapid Vienna were when we nicked The Hoff last August
One thing does surprise me and that’s Doyle not having an agent.

I’m sorry to say that If I were Mick McCarthy I wouldn’t mention that Wolves can still lose Kevin Doyle in the summer if a big club comes in for him. It’s like telling the big clubs come and get him if you have the money.
The good thing is that Kevin has no agent to lure him away from Molineus so he will get a big slice of the fee, or as we say it to win the lottery off him.
Kevin will surely stay especially if Wolves invest in quality players to help him and the team.
It’s natural that some players will be leaving Molineux especially as from next season the squad has to be made up of 25 players. This can be a drawback or a big helping hand as all teams, whether they are Chelsea, United, Arsenal or Liverpool, will be on a par and the fat cats won’t have the advantage over clubs not so rich as themselves.
Hope Wolves end the season on a high next Sunday so we’ll have a whole summer to savour it instead of a big defeat as against Pompey.
By the way today it’s May 7, the exact date when Wolves won their last FA Cup against Blackburn in 1960.
I know all about it as as a young 18 year old was at Wembley to see them do it. The players, Finlayson, Showell, Harris, Clamp, Slater, Flowers, Deeley, Stobart, Murray, Broadbent, Horne, are all legends now as they are a part of Wolves chequered history.

There’s no point slating Mick for stating the obvious. He’s not exactly putting Doyle on the market or saying anything that other managers don’t know already is he? He’s just telling it how it is. No matter what he says, does or achieves, some will always want criticise him – as if them being “proved right” all along matters more than seeing Wolves succeed. Bonkers.
But anyway, if you want to criticise Mick for stating the obvious, go ahead but just know that you’ll have to criticise Doyle as well.
“There is no point leaving Wolves to go sideways,” says Doyle. “It would have to be something that I, and everyone, would think would be a big step up. But I’ll worry about that in the summer. I just want to finish the season well and don’t want the feeling of being relegated again. When we’re sitting on the beach and enjoying being Premier League players, we can worry about anything that comes after that.”

Do the poeple on here knocking MM about saying this in public think that when he woke up this morning, Mick went to work and thought to himself that it’d be great to get the press together and talk about the possibility of Doyle leaving ?!!
Players, managers, CEO’s, coaches, tea ladies – they are all in the local media spotlight, the tabloid newspaper spotlight, the 24 hours sky sports news spot light.
He’s been asked a question, on record, and has answered it honestly. you may or may not like it, but it is that kind of honesty from McCarthy that attracted Doyle to Wolves in the first place.

Don’t get over excited about number 3 comments he’s clearly a tesco!

MM is not really saying anything that no one already knows but i donrmt really agree with hanging your dirty washing out to dry either!
One thing is for sure if we do sell doyle its another kick in the teeth for us supporters, as how can this been seen as a move forward? The knock on affect is u lose your best players you DONT attract any other decent ones either!
The big sides make me sick, as how are us smaller teams ever meant to catch up when they poach our best players pay them aload then waste there talent by sticking them on bench!! Daniel sturridge a perfect example! Ge will never dis-lodge anelka drogba n the likes and prob will never ever be first choice striker if one of them leaves! So in my view its just a waste!! In my opinion MM n the crew will go looking for quality this summer but will fail again due to our wage cap, 25k is not going to attract real quality, we were lucky doyler wasnt a money grabber!! Same old same old chumpionship players on the way ne thinks and a few nobodys from abroad! Which = another prem defensive scrap!! We deserve a little entertainment dont we? After all its hardly cheap!! X

Right lets get a few things straight to the people coming on here having a go at MM for saying what he did.
if you think this will trigger a top team to come in for him then you a deluded and if a top manager did react to MM saying this then i wouldnt pay that manager rusty washers.
MM is stating what we already know you idiots. if you was a player at wolves and a top 6 club came in you wouldnt want to go? and get paid at least double? no you would stay wouldnt you? fools!
its life get over it. i wouldnt hold him back and neither would MM. Doyle is a good player so enjoy him while we can.
i sometimes lose the will to live after reading such drivel on here. we are down towards the lower end of teh food chain at teh moment and we will be a feeder club to better teams like spurs are to man u and man u to Real Madrid and so on.

I also believe Kevin Doyle has stated he is happy at Wolves so again why mow a different story comimg out? Doyle , as shown by his team mates is a very valuable team player and individually so these are the type of players we need to keep. So I suggest MM sings from the same hymn sheet- NOT FOR SALE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.- END OF STORY.

I do not want to lose him. He has been quality but if someone like Arsenal tempts the player we hold firm for what he is worth…. at least double what we paid. I would put a £15 million on his head in any case and then we would at least be able to get a couple of players in.
It is all irrelevant in any case as I believe that he is happy here!

2- the advertising was done with his performances on the pitch. Do you really believe that the bigger clubs will read this article and learn something new? They wont read this and realise that they can put a bid in for the lad, they knew that anyway. Its been this way in football for a while, as the bigger clubs are always willing to snatch tallent away from the smaller clubs, If a top club manager leanrt something knew from reading Micks comments, then hes been living under a rock for a decade.
This is more a statement for the fans, saying that hes not for sale, but if a top club put in a firm bid that is too good to refuse, then dont be suprised if we sell him. In my humble oppinion, if the albion can put a £12m valuation on Dorrans who has never played in the premier, we should put at least 15-20m on the lad.

Doyle is full of running and effort (a real mick player) but just 8 goals has been disappointing.
I know he plays on his own but thats up to mick – but I say get over 10 million and we should be wearing masks.
I’m sure he would get more goals in a team that creates more chances than we did.

30 As someone else has said already – SM stated publicly that Doyle is not for sale and then days later MM comes out with this???
As for what other clubs will learn from this statement in the media – that is very obvious – It says ‘If you have the money – make us an offer’ as we cant stop the player if the price is right going to one of the Top 6
Its almost an invitation to test the waters – otherwise why say anything at all???
If you think about this – its a bit like telling your partner in life that you couldnt stop her from leaving you if she fancied someone else – If you kept saying that out loud often enough what do you think the chances are that your partner might just leave???
We hope for better!

23.. agreed, if he goes he goes, Wolves are way down the pecking order for the reasons you state. If we can hang onto him.. all the better.. but our main concern is to get these 4/5? quality signings in over the summer. If Doyle leaves, personally I think MM & M will have some pain on, but time will tell on that.
28.. They broke the mold after Bully! Full respect for him staying with us. As for Keane, I heard an interesting conversation on the radio talking about how when Keane went to Liverpool, Benitez ended up not being keen on him, then he went back to Spurs and Redknapp not being keen on him! He wasn’t played on a regular basis. Was this to do with an attitude problem in the dressing room? Or that they paid big money and ended up just not rating him? Yes he started his pro career with wolves, but that was a while ago and I feel at times his name gets mentioned simply because of all the ‘ old romantics’ on this blog! ;) Thing is, are there better options out there?

No top club would be after Doyle, compared to Torres and Co, he is a lightweight, and not a real striker, far too light,and small.
Good player, worth his place in a Wolves side, but I doubt if any one else is interested.

Quality gaffer, like McCarthy and quality players, such as Doyle, so come on and get on board our Gold and Black tanker, because “We Will Not Be Moved! We Are Wolves!”. Again, the old days, some four decades of always being Nervous Nellies is hard to toss away, but we are on the cusp of doing so. Mick knows this. Doyle can feel it, too. Have faith. They do, and so will I and other supporters who know we are diligently building Wolves into a great club again! “Up The Wolves”

Typical E&S story-stir something up that’s not there. It might hurt the Wolves, but hey if it sells a few papers who cares, eh E&S?

I rate Doyle as a very good striker who can put away a very good percentage of his chances. He is also a very good footballer. Not just my opinion…
Goalscorers are at a premium in every league, you ignore them at your peril.
One thing is for sure, he will not be leaving Wolves anytime soon unless the deal suits Mick McCarthy and Wolverhampton Wanderers. And that means a PILE of cash or decent cash and a premiership quality player(s).
Say Spurs (they’ve got the money now) came in for him with some serious cash and a Robbie Keane loan deal… Would YOU say no?

we must keep doyle at all costs.
we worked his socks off for the club and fans.
look at the style of football we have had to play, one up front on his own and for my mind he was superb.
who else at the club this season could have done the same job.
i do wish mick would shut up blabbing to the papers that out best player is for sale at the right price why?
who would be buy as a replacement.
what we need during the summer is some quality 3-4 good players, hopefully we can more easily attract this type of player.quality not quantity please.
we need to spend similar money on a proven striker,apart from doyle this season the rest seb, hoff,iwelumo etc have either failed to produce or mick doesn’t rate them so not had a chance so why keep them.
a mass clearance is needed, the deadwood needs to be got rid of, it will bring somemoney in and save on wages but i fear some of last summers signings will go for nothing like we paid for them.
next season is going to be harder but with the right quality additions we can survive an progress.
let the transfer rumours begin and when world cup starts we can all wish and dream of who we could buy
Report abuse
Anyone who says get rid of Doyle,has obviously never seen him play this season!I have been going to the Molineux since I was 8 years old,26 now,and this guy is one of the best players I have ever seen down there.Granted,8 goals is not a great return from our main striker,but if you look at his all round game,I wouldn’t say there is anyone better out there that you could pick up for less than £10m.He first touch is second to none,his hold up play is brlliant,and he’s good in the air.Just ask any of the defenders he’s came up against this season,gave every single one of them a torrid time,including our ex England captain John Terry.We can’t afford to lose players of his calibre if we’re serious about becoming a permanent fixture in the Premier League.
Report abuse
Mick needs to keep this from the public because wolves fans are going to start to worry as i am myself. I think that if we bring in Hunt which we could for about 3.5 million would be good he gives his all for the team he plays for.
Robbie Keane would also be a good option because doyle will feel more at home i say sign him on a one years loan for 1 million then we should have a chance of staying up.
We also need a decent back up keeper just incase.
I believe the 3M’s know what they are doing but we cannot let go of Doyle.

In a fantasy world, we’d be signing 3-4 players of Doyle’s calibre, and finish half way up the league next season without undue worries of relegation. But reality dictates that Doyle WOULD move should any club of stature and Premiership pedigree make a serious move for him- we couldn’t/wouldn’t be able to compete on any comparable level, be it wages, standard of football or realistic ambition. We did extremely well to be first in with an astute and solid offer for a player, who, it should be remembered, had a recent history of injury problems and who was playing Championship football. It’s an entirely different kettle of fish now we’re trying to compete on an uneven playing field; hampered in courting better players by our status as a relative newcomer and relatively low-wage paying club. But if worst comes to worst, we could do worse than negotiating a swap deal with a club who have fringe players who would strengthen our own 1st team.

Mick-Mac you’ve stired up a hornets nest by saying it as it is. Although I think you were ripped off when you bought Doyle, he was never worth £6.5m, when you consider what ALBION paid for a superior talent in Graham Dorrans. Most of the money you spent last year was thrown down the
drain because most of them will be shipped out
now for little or nothing, having very little playing time in the first team. Obviously you hav’n't rated any of them. There’s not many if any good footballers wanting to come to Wolves
because of the dismal style of football you play.
Therefore your gates will fall as fans are questioning the bordom by wanting more play the other side of the half-way line. What a joke your
new strip sponsor is, I think Jezz has bought his pie and pint back with this deal. think of all the young fans telling their parents “I ay wearin thet”.

52 – isnt it obvious that most the strikers playing at man utd and co, would struggle to score goals at lower clubs, why? because we create fewer chances and we have less quality to create thos chances. You said Rooney would struggle to score 15 goals, so isnt that backing up the reason why doyle has only scored 8? would he not score more goals at somewhere like aresnal, who would allow him to get into better positions and allow him allot more chances.
You obviously dont watch the matches, because Every game i have seen Milijas, hes been struggling to move by the second half, hes not fit enough, and hopefully can improve with more games and a decent pre season of fitness training. Your probably one of the idiots who said we were guarenteed to go down this season, so i doubt any one is going to take notice of your predictions for next season.

Well, that’s not the way to run a football club. Firstly, you have to keep ALL yr prize assets, (players/crown jewels) like Doyle, etc, they have only been with this team for ONE season, the guy is just warming up and gelling with the other members of the team. Secondly, you have to build around yr class players inorder to put confidence into yr team and then follow that up with a sensible team building and plan of attacking football that puts confidence with the players and the whole team, look what Alex Ferguson has done with United? follow him and you wont go wrong. Dont go getting rid of yr best players before they have started to play proper football, encourage them more, breed confidence into the state of play, if you then get a trail of bad results then reconsider yr options, LEARN by yr previous mistakes and correct the style of play, more strikers up front like wolves played when they won their matches in the Championship. Take initiative from the old old wolves team of the 1950′s and 1960′s when wolves were big business, dont sound off like a load of weeslies, be determined on what you want to achieve and you will eventually get results, dont throw yr players away after just one season. For a wolves supporter from those glory days when wolves were big take a leaf out of the old gold memoirs and practise the best of what you know and success will surely come to the team. Come on Mick, listen to what you are being told. Come on the wolves.

I’m stunned of the criticism of Doyle’s 8 goals, I’m sorry for this assumption I’ll make on those who have called Doyle’s return of goals poor that you people haven’t seen much of him in a Wolves shirt. Too score 8 in a team that struggles to create clear cut chances for him is remarkable achievement, look at his finish against West Ham, there is no other striker at Wolves who could of scored that goal, only Doyle.
He has so much work to do because of the lack of creative quality around him, there’s only Jarvis and of course Milijas isn’t rated much by Mick, David Jones has done well since he came into the side but there isn’t much else in creative midfielders unless Kites can do it next season. Doyle has ended up in games been the only creator of better chances going to players who can’t score, and the amount of class needed for a goal scorer in this league is way higher than the Championship that’s why I think Blake will struggle again next season.
Sadly if 15 million is on the table from one of the big clubs then I suspect he’ll go.
