Lee Bowyer confirmed last night that Stoke along with 2 other Championship clubs have had a £650,000 bid accepted for Doughty. Wondering if we could be one of the other 2 unnamed clubs after him seeing as he’s a LWB / LB / LW so could easily slot into our setup ? Only issue is he’s out until end of February with a torn hamstring. Rangers and Celtic also sniffing as can sign him up on a pre contract ready to join in the summer.
Seems like the kind of signing we need, after James’ departure. Let Styles play in the middle alongside Mowatt and we’ll soon forget about James. Don’t see how we’d compete with Stoke on the wages front though.
https://www.footballinsider247.com/...de-man-after-12-hour-ultimatum-ibrox-sources/ I suspect Rangers will be favourites as he gets to play for Stevie G and will probably get more money because being out of contract would save a club a transfer fee.
Wouldn’t Rangers still have to pay a nominal fee as he’s under 23 ? Or does that only apply between English clubs ?
Luton have put in offer for him as well - will be out of our financial league though I suspect: 'Luton boss confirms he has inquired about Addicks winger Doughty'
