Apparently Celtic and Wolves want to sign on-loan Tommy Doyle from Man City.

I've always said Doyle be better signing than Scott

Debbie what do u think about Doyle plus what do u think about JL it's been known that he's done this before.i would like to see potter in we need someone who is 100% committed and gets on with the job I no he's done brilliant job but we can't keep going through that manager is thinking of leaving because he can't get what he wants.he knew what was happening when he took the job on .

Debbie Scott is over priced and not proven at this level.would u like us if we had £25 million to get Scott it be a risk not to take we got some brilliant midfielders Hodge will be priceless in years to come nunes free to play his game now nerves has gone

Do not believe all that you read, he would have left by now if he was leaving. We all need to see how we start the new season, judging on pre season I believe we will do better than some people think.

Not too sure why you're firing these questions directly at me, esp when I never mentioned J-LO being replaced.

What I would say is I think if Wolves had £25m to spend on a player, I doubt it would be spent on Scott. And I would agree with you on Hodge, I can see him being utilised more this season.

Presumably Doyle is English, if City thought he was good enough surely they would hang on to him and use him as a squad player to see out games like they do with Foden who doesn't seem to be a first choice starter.

What are you lot on about?
£25m for Scott is worthwhile.
He is 19 years old and will probably sign a 5 year deal.
That is dirt cheap for a promising England youngster he could be worth £100m in 3 years time.
He can plan in midfield and further forward similar to Foden and Grealish.
And he has 18 months under his belt at championship level.
Worth every penny with add on imo.
Wolves don't waste time scouting a player like this and for Julen to have spent time on it since November as well shows how highly rated at Wolves Alex Scott is.

The point here is that Doyle would be a loan and Scott would be a purchase. So essentially it would be the choice of increasing value to an asset for City or increasing the value of our own asset?! I suspect if we are in for Doyle it is a way of improving our options this year as we can't afford Scott. Only issue being that (like most) of our current transfer policy there isn't much long term benefit for us with it though! ?

They could be looking at both Bullysboy.
A purchase of Scott and loan of Doyle.
Personally I believe that we should sign young players and blood them through like Neto, Fabio Silva, Bueno and RAN.
We have a good season the players values increase again after this year's decrease in value of Raul, Neves, Diego Costa, Traore, Podence, Moutinho and Jonny.
We have to get ahead of the curve. I genuinely believe Silva will come good.

Maybe Mad but we currently have four cms whilst I suspect Scott would be used more as a AMF but (personally) I would not want to see a City loan player taking any minutes away from our own young talent (Hodge or in your scenario Scott). I do wonder if Doyle has been suggested by Hodge as they used to play together ?

I'm not upset at all, just slightly confused to why questions were being asked of me over something I didn't post about. All good though ?

100% Bullyboy I think both would play as attacking midfielders.
So either 2 of a midfield 3 or two side forwards in a front 3.
But with our strikers we have options with Cunha, Silva, Sasa and Hwang and Neto.
Also if we play 433 where does Nunes in?
Julen has preferred a 442 formation so where do Scott and doyle fit in then?
Are either of them better than our midfielders Lemina, Gomes, Traore and Hodge?
They will be signed to play similar to Grealish for us in my opinion. That link between Midfield and attack that Jota played beautifully for us.

Well, you are able to pull a rabbit out of a hat, Debs.

I agree Mad, for all the talk of how good we were yesterday you are bang on the money with the need for a bit of flexibility within the squad to tweak formations depending on the oppo. I also agree that Scott would be a great investment, I'm trying not to get hopeful but his move to Bournemouth has certainly gone very quiet! ?

Im really concerned about wolves this year!
Pre season has gone well but feel that we are lacking
When the smaller premier league teams are spending just feel that we are going to be in a relegation fight.

We already spent a huge amount if not all of our summer budget in January.
Those January signings have had more time at our club than those being signed by others this summer, so in that respect we are one step ahead.

Very good point well made Phil and they're looking like a very hungry team, I know its only pre season but they've played the best football I've seen for a good while! Not a bad showing against a team that beat West Ham 3-1 and hammered Notts Forest 5-0, I'm not getting carried away but I'm optimistic we've got some great talent in our team and they're playing for each other and enjoying their footie. I'm looking forward to a better season. COYW

If I'm right, and Debbie will obviously know, didn't reports state earlier that Doyle didn't want to come to us as he'd prefer to stay and prove himself at city. Maybe I dreamt it. Debs?
