This rumour was circulated a few months back.
Thought there was some link to him having a good shot from distance.

Doesn't stop out ambition feeling a tad worrying at the moment though

Here's the shot and goal that everyone was talking about. One hell of a shot, but can't see that working too often in the PL, although would be nice if it did.

Of course I would also suggest that Wenger doesn't see this as 'real football' and would put a stop to this 'long-range shooting' malarkey pretty quickly.

Maybe Tony Adams spotted him when he was out there!!!

Doyle plays up front on his own for Wolves, and with the terrible service he gets from his midfield (mainly defence actually!), he works absolute wonders. HIs headâ€™s in the right place,he would walk over hot coals for his team, and heâ€™s a very decent footballer. That said, we play possibly the polar opposite style of football to Wolves, and Iâ€™ve no idea if heâ€™s capable of the necessary change up. I cringe seeing a Blackburn fan telling us that Doyle would be a good signing and getting 19 thumbs down, as to me it smacks of uniformed decision making. Are we in the market for the Benzemas/Agueros of this world? If we were then weâ€™d have bought one by now. If not, then we go for Adebayors/Nasris who see Wenger as a turd polisher before they movve onto â€˜bigger and better thingsâ€™, or do we go for a hard worker like Doyle who may not have the skills of a Nasri but 4x the work ethic. Iâ€™m not sure what the answer is, but I do know that in a very successfull team youâ€™ll have both sorts of players, and so I for one would be happy getting Doyle onboard (without being ecstatic) for that bit of British Isles grit as long as we also looked on the otherside of the spectrum as well for a Nasri/Cesc replacement. Hope that makes sense
