Despite the downer many have for him on here, it appears there'd be a number of takers for our enigmatic Ivorian if he were available.

Infact I'm told January may see him back at Prenton Park or, failing that, leading the line at Luton (alliteration, eh).

He could play for any team in L2. What is his value?. Imo, his current annual salary plus a sell on?.

I was told these would be loan deals initially, Dave.

By the way, a different source informs me Sheff Yoo, Rovrum and Millwall are currently bidding for Doyle.

Town fans expecting a seven figure fee will be very disappointed by the numbers being offered, though.


(By the way, good to be talking about football instead of the behind the scenes b*ll*cks again, innit)

It wouldn't surprise me if cheeky bids started at £400k. They should be told to clear off if so.

Thought you meant 400k for Armand then.

it is.

Now, I know nowt, but impo a loan should not be countenanced. He's out of contract and he's in demand.

On this behind the scenes thingy........

I'm siding with H on this, on the grounds that I can find no alternative to my theory that the whole thing was planned spend, apart of course from the concert fiasco. And that is based on the fact that we've got at least 3 business leaders on the Board. Now they could of course have said 'heyup lads, we are running a loss, but it's all planned'. But they didn't, the nincompoops.

Doyle doesn't want to go and I can't see DA letting him go for peanuts expect about 600k swinging it

I agree we dont need to sell for the sake of it and everyone else gets the price they want and he will only go if its right for the club and Doyle himself

Mr Allen will hold out but he won't turn down another few quid off the debt CFC owe him

I`m not so sure - the way the summers "transfer activity" was conducted, followed by the brakes well and truly being put on spending - would suggest to me that the size of the loss came a s a surprise.

Not a surprise.

How much are his goals worth to CFC though?

Hopefully it's true, some regular football will do him good and hopefully we can benefit. History has taught us with Folan and Bowery that if we persevere with a player who blows more cold than hot but has glimpses of potential it could well pay off in our favour if they hit a good spell. Give Armand some regular football away from here then give him his chance when he's match fit and a bit more confident.

[Bonnyman]

Well its hardly history if they are examples neither went on loan .

Both players, though limited, were always a step above what I've seen from Armand.

Looks like S&D's anticipated fire sale is very much on

Hope we resist, but I have no faith whatsoever

If we get £2,000,00 for Morsy and Doyle, is that good busines?
