His contract was signed from Preston in League One after a reputed 200k fee was paid. It's not unreasonable for him to be on well above par wages for a L2 player.

can anyone provide some context for me?
£5k and even £3.5k a week a league 2 level seems crazy to me. id only want to pay it to secure an investment for a young player of real top quality where we could recoup in the future with a transfer fee.
Or is this the going rate and normal? not sure what our average wage is but this seems like it would be the highest?
3.5k -5k a week sounds a bargain to me, 7k a week seems to be the amount banded about, either way seems a bargain to me considering the goal to game ratio. |

only if you understand that this ratio wont be sustainable across the potential length of his contract. this is a record breaking run. |

It’s what you pay for a striker if you are a League 1 club looking to get promoted. Which Bradford were 16 months ago.
Adam Rooney probably on similar. Surely no one else in the league is close? Most of the best players in the league will be on around £2k-£2.5k ?

I still think there is something in the loan agreement that makes it hard for Bradford to recall him, something like a recall fee or an option for us to buy. A scenario where he scored goals and Bradford want him back was always possible but one thing Power isn’t is an idiot and we’ve seen in the past he can be very sneaky with deals like the Gladwin and Luongo sale.

Somebody has mentioned this before. I think it was Tails? and he's not known for spreading shite.
It would explain a lot of the secrecy over the situation.

Remember pre season when Wellens was desperate to offload Toums/NcGlashan and, at the time, Anderson. He reckoned those 3 were taking up 25% of his total playing budget. Assuming that budget was £2m - not unreasonable - those 3 were on £500,000 between them. That’s over £3k a week each. For a club looking for promotion those kind of figures are the going rate. Mansfield, for example, pay more. We were interested in Maynard - he’s on £5k a week there. |

One thing, if Doyle was going back Plymouth would have been his last game and you would have thought there would have been some sort of acknowledgement or goodbye from him. His intentions are to stay and at the end of the day if a player wants to leave he will, and Bradford must know that,

The last thing players, agents and clubs want or need is for private and confidential contracts to become common or public knowledge. All these figures being bandied about are nothing more than speculation. Sure there maybe anecdotal background substance which is xxxx hand and twice removed. Unless you have written evidence it all means zip.

This, showed absolutely no signs that he'd played his last game for us, in fact if anything the clapping and waving told me exactly the opposite. 2-0 to us today, and confirmation of Pele signing next week. Happy Days. |

I suspect that I am not alone in saying that I will be glad to finally see the back of the endless (and, dare I say, ill informed) speculation on this topic.

I see Mr Doyle is not going to the game today and having some family time.
A good decision as cheering goals for either team would be in bad taste TBH.

On the subject of cheering other than the two current Doyle anthems I’m wondering if there will be any goading/inflammatory songs dished out today? |
