Good point. The only thing to discuss would be him staying at Swindon...
It's a season long loan so him staying is the default, so no need for a discussion around that either. I think Costanza's right, that Bowyer doesn't want him as he knows he can't get the best out of him/fit him into their system. But that doesn't mean that the hierarchy at Bradford don't want him back. Maybe those "ongoing conversations" have been internal. Bowyer "I want to get a goalscorer in in Jan" Bradford board "Ha ha, no need, we have a goalscorer already on loan at Swindon, just recall him" Bowyer "He doesn't fit into my system" Bradford board "So change your system. Or maybe we need to change to a manager who can fit him in?" That would also account for the dour "resigned" tone toward the end that others have noted. Although tbf he doesn't sound like a barrel of laughs at the best of times |

The conversations I had in mind would be to discuss the terms of a permanent move  Agree about Bowyer - he is one dour mother fucker. All the Bradford fans seem to be complaining about his boring style of play - but it's just a reflection of him... |

According to a Bradford journo, there's a confidentiality clause on the temrs of any recall on his loan, which would explain why both sides have said so little.
It would also tie in with what somebody else said about Bradford having to pay a fee to us to recall him.

I think we’ll announce his signing after the Bradford game. I honestly can’t se him going back to Bradford to only get a free in June. He’s ours

Bradford can use the line of having held discussions with the player it was clear he did not want to return and we don't not want to have a player here that does not want to be here and to disrupt the good team spirit we have in the team so the decision was taken for him to stay at Swindon.
I'm sure this will all be sorted after next weekend though.

I may he on my own but I'm not going to be crying and think we are missing out on promotion if we dont sign Doyle. He has obviously been more than outstanding with his goals record. But we do have genuine quality throughout the team this year. It definitely isnt the one man team Bradford fans and probably many others assume.
we would miss him without a recruitment for sure as we really only have two strikers on the books. what I dont really want is to blow the bank and tie him down to a 3 year contract. I'd even accept just seeing this season through on the original affordable terms and reassess in the summer.
He isnt pulling out worldie goals all the time, they are instinctive good goals with the team constantly feeding him opportunities.
I do love him, but 3 years and signing on fee and on anywhere near his current wages in as a lot for 32 year old in possibly a hot streak season. League 1 will be different I'm sure

I think with our current squad, a few additions and the way Wellens has them playing. We could easily be sniffing POs in L1. Look at Oxford and Wycombe. We'll also have a pretty much settled side.
Doyle of course would be a coup. If Richards gave us good value (for a while) at 35. Doyle is certainly worth the rest of this season with a 2yr deal (poss option afterwards). What he brings is goals but he also brings a cracking attitude and example to some of the younger pros.
In my mind he is an invaluable signing and an asset which goes beyond his goals.
