footballleagueworld.co.uk/alfie-doughtys-situation-at-charlton-athletic-as-the-january-transfer-window-approaches/theathletic.co.uk/2282887/2020/12/30/alfie-doughty-charlton-athletic/Pace is the first thing you notice about Doughty. Remarkable pace. Relentless pace. The sort of pace that makes defenders cower and do very silly things indeed.
Doughty has already become one of those players that defenders would prefer to foul and accept a booking, rather than risk them getting anywhere near goal. All of this interest is heightened because Doughty’s contract is up in the summer. New Charlton owner Thomas Sandgaard has said that they will do what they can to keep him and tie Doughty down to a new deal, but The Athletic understands that no decision has been made on his future yet. The main wrinkle at the moment is that injury. Doughty tore his hamstring and is unlikely to return until at least the back end of January. But although his manager Lee Bowyer raised eyebrows recently when he questioned whether Doughty would be the same player again (remarks that were presumably a fairly clumsy attempt to put any potential suitors off), the chances are he will recover in full. He might even come back better.[/quote]

He'd be a great addition, saw him score from the right side of three up front believe it or not! He can play all down the left hand side LB, LWB, LW pretty rapid too.

He’s played in almost every position for Charlton but is predominantly a left midfield cum wing back cum left back. He’s rapid. Not played for a while though has he been injured?

I'm liking the kind of players we are being linked to I really hope recruitment has turned a corner. Do we know what Celtic offered in the summer? I think they took a season long loan didn't they when they failed to agree and he's been one of their best players since so we might get a run at this one.

The quotes from Bowyer above even raise doubts that he'll return the same player such was the size of his hamstring tear.
But hopefully he's just trying to scare people off buying him this winter.

Injury aside, this would be a very good signing and exactly the type of signing you'd hope we'd be looking to make

Read the Bowyer stuff on him a few days ago FM & my immediate conclusion was he was a bit sour that the lad hadn't signed a deal & was talking him down

I doubt if he would get past our Medical team. A torn Hamstring is one thing but it could disguise multiple hitherto unsuspected frailties!

We certainly seem to be looking at younger players with potential. The fact that MON has integrated and made regulars of so many younger players, can only go in our favour when trying to sell the club.

Watched a Charlton vs Reading game back end of last season. Charlton were shite but Doughty stood out as a very good player. Said in the summer he would be my go to.
I'd be surprised if they accepted £650,000. But then again I have no idea about Charlton's finances. Edit: he's out of contract at the end of the season - seems much more realistic now.

Seriously if a player's main asset is his speed, what has he got left if that aspect of his game is lost? With an injury as bad as that suggested there must be big question marks regarding his immediate future. Can he offer or contribute other skills?
Offer £1,000 to take him off Charlton's hands.
(That's what a mistress got offered for a Hunter that badly injured a fetlock while on a run)
