Wolves Sign Doyle for a Club Record 6.5 Million.
By: Toby | June 30th, 2009
A record signing for Wolves, and we’re talking serious money, as Kevin Doyle has signed for 6.5 Million pounds. I’ve got to say, as Wolves usually keep the fee they play for players “undisclosed” that this is perhaps a bit of a sound off to the rest of the football world that we do intend to turn up this season. With this signing we have the first player which makes me go “ooooo” and get a little bit excited about the forthcoming season, no offence to Hahnemann and Nenad Milijaš but a reserve goal keeper and a Serbian I’d never heard of until I youtube’d the guy can only excite me so much, whereas this a real signing of a player who’s been in the Premier League and done very well gets me very excited indeed.
It would seem it was both the speed and set up of Wolves which won Doyle over, and which made him chose Wolves over the host of other sides after his signature.
“I’m delighted to get the move sorted and can’t wait to get going,” he said.
“I spoke to the manager and chief executive over a week ago and came to the training ground to see everything.
“I’ve been making my mind up over the last couple of weeks and am just really pleased the decision has been made.
“The facilities here are top class and it’s great to be going back into the Premier League again.”
His stats speak for themselves, he’s a proven goal scorer, and strong in the air. With 18 goals last season he was part of a free scoring Reading side, and their form certainly suffered when he was injured. In my honest opinion in signing Doyle (and by beating a host of clubs including Fulham, Sunderland, Everton, Bolton and Aston villa) we’re going up with the two best strikers from the Championship, and now that’s something to get excited about.
Right then, who’s next?
Also, it’s another victory for the rumours post, who predicted this signing last week. Though saying that, if we were to believe every rumour I’ve had on there so far we’d have a bigger squad than Man City.
Tarra-a-bit!

A great signing and as you say, sends out a good message, especially to other potential signings. It will be interesting to see how much money we have left to spend though if this price tag is correct.
And always nice to come to a board free of the collective insanity of 606.

I’m pretty excited about Milijas as well, might turn out to be a great player, on another note seems we’re close to signing Surman; great signing certainly if the unthinkable happens: we don’t stay up.

Looking at Morgan in the interview on E&S website, he looks like a man enjoying doing some business at the moment… should be an interesting two weeks!

does anybody know if the corners at the Golden palace will have seating this season and what the capacity will be.
Thanx

I’m not sure it’s gone a bit quiet on that again, the old fabled filling in of the corners. It’ll happen some day, I’d say it’d bump us up about 5,000 surely at least?

they are apparently putting up a temporary stand between the jack harris and billy wright! similar to what they did last time! i think that bumps up the capacity by about 1000.
