Flogging a dead horse.0

Losing our most exciting prospect in the last few years for peanuts it seems. It’s the Charlton way. I don’t blame TS as it was previous owners fault but frustrating none the less.0

The decision was taken on medical advice and it was most certainly not the outcome Alfie wanted.LonelyNorthernAddick said:
Think it's probably Bowyer/Gallens myself - they won't want him to come back and take up wages/spaces if we'll get like 4 games out of him at half fitness at the end of the season. Just carrying dead weight then aren't we, and adds another job to the physio teams workload unnecessarily.golfaddick said:

Maybe TS's choice....? Get someone in now who can play half the season & maybe we could sign in the summer, rather than a player who plays the last 6 weeks & is then gone.7 -
If he signed a new 2 year deal with us and re-found his early season form for us he'd be getting a move to a much better team than Stoke. Shame as it's clearly his agent that's pushed this through more than anyone3

A risk, and by securing the move now he has mitigated that risk.sam3110 said:If he signed a new 2 year deal with us and re-found his early season form for us he'd be getting a move to a much better team than Stoke. Shame as it's clearly his agent that's pushed this through more than anyone9 -

Wait how many loanees do we have?
Famewo
Smyth
Millar
Maatsen
Shinnie
If all are fit and in a match day squad, that's all we can have anyway right? So any additional loanees either will replace one of these in the squad or won't make the squad, thus being a waste of money.0 -

But loan slots only count towards match day squad. You don't need Doughty, Millar and Smyth in the same squad (imo)ForeverAddickted said:
No but if he comes back then he's taking up a loan slotColinTat said:He doesnt take up wages as he's under 21.2 -

Not listening to you anymore, you said you would “have a word” and tell your boss to take Bogle instead.bobmunro said:

How is his injury healing going? A full hamstring tear is going to need some nursing back to full fitness0
-
I’d agree with that. Although saying that if you had say Williams out injured and were playing 442 you’d like the option of one of them on the bench.Dazzler21 said:

Just never thought having Doughty back was good business given his injury. What would be an intelligent thing to do is let Stoke have him a bit cheaper and loan one of their players with Stoke paying the salary.0 -
If we’ve got a million, for a player who massively relies on his pace, coming back from a serious hamstring injury, and out of contract in 6 months seems like good business to me7
-
I agree. But let’s not forget the stick Roland got for selling Grant for more in fairly similar circumstances. Admittedly the injury is the difference but 1mil is very low risk. If he returns at 75% the player and fulfils half of his potential it’s an absolute bargain.Rothko said:If we’ve got a million, for a player who massively relies on his pace, coming back from a serious hamstring injury, and out of contract in 6 months seems like good business to me1 -

LB, LWB,LW,RFD all the positions Doughty has played for us in about a season.
He's brought an attacking threat in games but having not played for so long, we need to move on. Sadly we have done so for now, but for the worse.2 -
Main stick for Roland was that he let Grants contract get to 6 months as he did with so many others and that backed us into a corner. TS never really had that chance with Doughty, how he manages other kids contracts will be interesting.cafcfan1990 said:

Ah don’t get me wrong I’m not here to start defending Roland. But people were still annoyed at the price, but Doughty is going to be less.Athletico Charlton said:

He wants to leave, let's just get it over and done with and move on.7

I’m not convinced he has much more then pace in a straight line, and if he loses a bit because of the injury he becomes a ok championship player at best.7
-
Good signs so far. Both Barker and Maynard-Brewer have signed new deals this season off the back of one or two decent showings when we've needed them to play. Doughty should have been given a new deal after the Sheffield Wednesday match he started but Roland never did understand football.Athletico Charlton said:

Hope so, I don’t think I can face another sleepless night worrying about it.Valley27000 said:Happen by the end of today?.6 -
I like Alfie but he’s no Ronaldo. A bit of a one trick pony. If he wants to go and there is a doubt about his recovery (and I guess a question mark about future vulnerability) then cash in but spend the process wisely please. I won’t lament his going as much as some of the others we’ve lost in recent years.0

Won't say too much about young players jumping ship too early, but thanks at least for agreeing to go now to an EFL club rather than totally shafting us0
-
Oh so here are all the posts coming saying he's not actually that good after all now he's left, classic.
We can't have one more situation like this where we get an absolute pittance for every youth player who comes through our system other than Lookman (I know he wasn't an academy player), obviously I realise there is the crossover from Roland but this is ridiculous to still be happening1 -
From Bromley to Stoke in just over a year. Can’t help but think he should of proved himself a bit more, i mean 29 apps and 2 goals last season is hardly pulling up trees.Hope he does go on to do well though.6
-
Hopefully the last prospect to be lost for small fry, we have already got our other young prospects signed up to decent deals now.3
-
another youngster goes and from those on here not for much. so what did we get for him? 10 bob and some pottery??0
