Rumour has it from Bradford that we may be in for Charlie Wyke with Eion Doyle going in the opposite direction.
Eion Doyle transfer?
Dunno about Wyke but I'm delighted with the opposite direction!

I believe Wyke is also injured at the moment. This is just what I’ve been told by one of the Bradford back room staff.

BULLSHIT ive been told come back when Charlie Wyke tells you🙄
I am with you on that one---If he's not available to play and the Transfer window closes, he will be with us till summer---Not sure what happens if PNE decide to pay his contact up and he becomes a free agent though

Doubt we will consider this as he’s had a good enough first half season to still attract bidders in the summer at that level. Maybe not as much as we’d have got for a fully fit Doyle this month but still enough to avoid ripping up his contract being the cheaper option.
I don't see any benefit to PNE to doing that. He would still be a saleable asset in the summer.

I mean this deal is probably bullshit but we’ve watched Wyke since his Carlisle days and he’s 4 years younger than Doyle. More similar player to Hugill than Doyle too... I can see why we’d maybe consider something like this.
Doyle is horrific at championship level though. The other potentially might step up and may also demand smaller wages.
I'd rather just see Doyle depart and not sign Wyke though to be fair.
Wouldn't we all!

We’d have to make him a free agent before the window closed I believe. Doubt that will happen though when it’s clear we can get some sort of fee for him.
If Wyke was championship quality he wouldn't have left Carlisle for Bradford.

If Hugill and Doyle were to leave this window then I can see him being a player we look at. Especially as he was on the radar last winter but we were well stocked up front at the time.
Last winter would have made him a Grayson signing.
Alex Neil looks for more in a player than just being a willing lump.
A basic comparison but you get the gist.
Wyke is one I feel is suited to the lower level. Another James Hanson (whom he ironically replaced) who has not cut the mustard at Sheff United and has gone on loan to L1 Bury I think it is.
Avoid.
We are now - Hugill, Moult, Barkhuizen, Robinson, Bodin and when he recovers Maguire. Providing Hugill stays we actually do not need any more out-and-out attacking players.

IF Hugill leaves then that just leaves Moult as an out and out striker. Pretty sure we'd look to replace Hugill
Maguire as well once he is back. But you can have too many players as well as too few and providing Hugill stays we are OK upfront.
