Sheffield United supporters rave with excitement about Tommy Doyle's loan signing from Man City

Sheffield United have announced the signing of Tommy Doyle on a season-long loan from Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 20-year-old, who has played seven times for City, is the Blades first signing of the summer transfer window. He spent last season on-loan at Hamburger SV and Cardiff City – impressing with 19 appearances for the latter.

His signing has generated considerable excitement among supporters across social media. Here’s what some of the fans have had to say on his arrival on Twitter.

"Blades are going all the way up."

"That’ll Doyle for me."

"Now we can relax. Welcome Tommy have fun and enjoy the ride."

"What a player you have there. He spent last season on loan with us and he was superb. Class on the ball, dynamic and battles hard. Good luck to him."

"Great signing this. I think with another creative player and a few squad players in defence we will be looking good."

"Berge x Doyle? Sign me up."

"Good to see a signing in the door well before the kick off date."
