"Leyton Orient are close to agreeing a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Tommy Doyle, on loan"

THE Tommy Doyle?

Who is Tommy Doyle?

EFL Hub might as well rename themselves @chinnyreckon

Would be pretty shocked if this was true, he's on the fringes of the city first team and has made a few appearances for them.

I’ve heard he doesn’t fit in at City. He’s never started a punch up with Police or screwed prossies and his idea of a good roast is Sunday lunch with his family.

Looked it up yes his family is that one

If he's half as good we have one hell of a player...IF?

Grandad is Mike Doyle & also related to Glyn Pardoe

I'd be pretty shocked if it were true too, but that's because it's a rumour from EFL Hub

Just watched you tube video of him and i know it's only clips but he looked very impressive. Plays central midfield, right footed, good passer of a ball, confident taking people on and can score a goal. Would fit in the midfield and compete for selection with Clay, Wright and possibly Jobi (game time).
Another rumour so probably wont happen anyway.

EFL Hub talk bull crap. If you want a reliable EFL transfer feed on Twitter, check out @EFLTRANSFERTALK. Very in the know this one.

Apparently Lings was incessantly just tell him to ‘go on’ over and over every time he turned us down.

Lol as if

The story doesn't even ring true then you see it's from EFL Hub

No sh*t Sherlock

If it did happen (unlikely IMO) and he had the same impact for us as another Man. City player we signed in summer '71, I'd be very happy.

Oh, for you young 'uns, we signed Ian Bowyer (father of Lee) from Man City in summer 71, who promptly scored a hat-trick in his first match and was top scorer that season.

Sorry to be a pendant but you mean Gary Bowyer (managed Blackburn and Blackpool) not Lee, of Charlton and Leeds infamy

Yeah, Ian Bowyers son is Gary Bowyer, not Lee.

But the hat trick first game was marvellous. I believe he scored with his first touch as an Orient player.

I also remember it as his home debut again Cardiff 4-1 on 21st August 1971, but strangely enough looking through my programmes from time he's listed on the team sheet in the Home League Cup match on 17th August 1971 against Notts. County which was a 1-1 draw the Tuesday before? He's also on that cover with a photo of him scoring against Arsenal for Man City. Perhaps he didn't play?

If anyone has an explanation for this or can tell me how to insert an image I will do so. It makes interesting reading with the chairman A.E. Page saying and I quote 'On and off the field we are trying to prove that this a club of true First Division potential. We feel sure it will not be long before that potential is realised'

Absoloutely agree a hat-trick on debut, cant get any better. Think we paid £40,000 to Man City and a player hardly mentioned who went on to have a great career at Forest. Cloughie converted him into a midfield player.

Not real rumour about we are interested in this player tommy doyle looks to me that its a made up rumour
