Somebody on their forum has already posted he’s signed a perm deal with us.
WUMming of the highest order!
I think they were talking about Grant

Doyle is 31, very savvy, and knows he only has one more decent contract in him. He may be disappointed to leave Swindon but he'll be giving everything for Bradford.
If he can start scoring for them as well then he massively enhances his reputation as someone who can score goals regardless of the playing style of the team. His success here then becomes his achievement rather than the Swindon style of play handing him chances on a plate.

Conversely, if he flops (again) at Bradford because of their ‘style’ it’ll do his CV no favours. Showing he can only score in a team which only plays in a certain way.

Shush now. You and your "reasoned logic". Nobody wants to hear that, this is a football forum for Christ's sake

Not true. If he doesn't sign for us as he only has 6 months left on his contract he'll almost certainly sign a pre contract agreement with another club in the next month or so. Once he's done that all his focus will be on not getting injured and his next club, only thing certain is he won't be at Bradford next season.

The naiveness of some Swindon fans over Doyle has been absolutely incredible.
He was part of one of Bradford’s worst sides in their history, and despite this managed to get in to double figures for goals as they were relegated.
He starts their first two matches of the season under a fairly new manager and then is loaned out, going on a record breaking scoring run and filling his boots with 23 goals by the start of January, the best record in Europe.
Any club in the world world recall a striker in those circumstances to bolster their own promotion hopes. That it also derails STFC probably didn’t come in to their thinking - the positives of his goals alone will have made the decision a no brainer.
No wonder Bradford fans are taking the piss in their droves - a harsh lesson learnt for many of our supporters I hope.

Of course they were going to recall him - they had to.
I don’t recall many players openly stating they don’t want to be at a certain club and end up staying there.

Be off with your continental ways or I'll set Reg on you. The anglicised version is now an accepted spelling: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/naivetyBut this is a distraction from the key point which is that Chang is, as ever, wrong.

I imagine Doyle will pick up a "slight knock" or similar in training by tomorrow or Friday. Which will deem him 50/50. Convenient - very.
As others have said, this isn't really over with. He'll be back.
