If you were a footballer Matt and somebody waved £8k a week for a couple of years in front of your face you would snatch his hand off no matter what !
I know I would.

Depends what club offered it me though. Footballers are mercenaries who go where the money is and its understandable because they want to make as much money as they can from the game before they retire or forced to retire through injury.

I don't begrudge Doyle moving on to a new club because he deserves it and has played well for Chesterfield, good luck to him, but I am annoyed that we sold him for £750k-£850k + add ons which will rise to a million if the clauses are met. Matty Done went from Rochdale to Sheffield United for a £1 million and he is just an ok midfielder. If we had kept Doyle to the end of the season and he scored 35-40 goals his value would have gone up not down.

I think Ireland have something to do with this. Doyle wants to play for Ireland, Ireland want him to play for Ireland and I think he's been told to play for Ireland you have to play for a Championship or Premier League team.

Looks like West Brom wanted Doyle.
