Greg Docherty

[Lexingtongue]

Well apparently I won’t be able to comment on this cos I don’t have the money to buy the club myself

You don't have a Plan B either so it's a double whammy, mate.

 

[stevo]

I would say Donald Is a tight twat who couldn’t run a bath, but I’m not allowed so it doesn’t matter

Constructive

My plan b is not to buy Shrewsbury either

Constructive

No, I think he’s more destructive, but never mind

What if the wage thing had already been pre-agreed and Rangers have now upped it. Do we allow the piss-taking party to recommence. Without knowing the facts i'm reluctant to call out SD yet.

Chronicle saying Rangers want us to pay more of his wages during the loan. Doesn't sound like its a problem with the player himself.

Appears to me that he was Parkinsons first choice midfield signing
(may have been others but press have not reported them until today)
and the lad wants to come here.

If this one falls through then it will be for the sake of a few thousand pounds.
Says a lot about the penny pinching and false economy still going on behind the scenes

But class on the field

For how long, we don't have enough quality in back up. Still a bit of time left but thus far the window has been poor.

Exactly people are making up their own take on this .

 

[Howard the Duck]

The Shrewsbury chairman said, before we hit whatever this snag is, that they had made an offer for Docherty but couldn't afford the loan fee Rangers were asking. he said the loan fee was such that it had also put off the Championship clubs that were after him and that he was joining Sunderland.

It may be that Charlton may not want him (on the current terms) even if he isn't joining us.

Theres no doubt we need cover ,but people are wanting us to lay cash out for players who arnt going straight in the team

This sounds plausible. - Rangers getting greedy.

How do you know this lad wouldn't?

 

[Confucius]

I think we will still get him, but I usually put the kiss of death on these things, so he will join Charlton later

This lad is not on huge wages so makes more sense if we are refusing to pay a large loan fee.
I know Rangers need cash in to balance the books so maybe thats it.

 

[molthemackem]

Tbf, we are over half way through the window and clearly had very little plan despite us knowing for months what we needed.

Poor really.

Plan you say?....well that'll be a first

That won't wash with the "we're skint" brigade.

 

[stevo]

How do you know this lad wouldn't?

Who knows but can you imagine on here if after 7 unbeaten including 4 wins in last 5 he changed the team and lost.So whoever comes in isnt going in straight away,including the ausie lad having his medical

Biggest budget for transfers in the whole of the division I've heard directly from our owner

The Shrewsbury chairman's implication was that we'd already agreed the loan fee, the only club to do so and that was why the player was coming here. So there's every likelihood that the reason for the move stalling/collapsing is something else.

Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty set to join Sunderland on loan

SUNDERLAND have won the race to sign Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty on loan. SunSport understands the 23-year-old is set to join the Black Cats until the end of the season. English Championship s…

Would be a good signing in my opinion. Fits with how we want to play and has the attributes we need in there to keep the current system and game plan effective.

He will do great in the U23@s found by the great TC (so he must be a worldie).
Lets see what he does in the massive Div 1. ( I am not negative but )
if anyone speaks to PP over this week, just ask him what full input HE had on his signing.
