Luton Town’s first signing of the summer, Alfie Doughty, has come out of the blue.
Not once did any of the mainstream media drop a suggestion that Luton were tracking the 22-year-old player.
The announcement made today, relating to his signing, by ourselves – luton-make-first-move-in-transfer-market-and-sign-a-winger – has already stirred the social media waters.
Several posts, some of which are reproduced below, confirm the element of surprise, relating to the deal:
It’s always someone that the ITK never say. We’re amazing at keeping transfers a secret 😂 welcome doughty!

Great signing, well happy with this and wasn’t expecting this signing either

While others, from his previous clubs, Stoke City and Cardiff City (on loan), suggest that Nathan Jones has pulled off something of a coup:
Take care of him for us…he’s a boss player🫶🏻

This is a player I would have loved to see back at @CardiffCityFC
Very impressed with his brief loan spell— John Davies (@davies250395) June 20, 2022

But, while we all wait to see how Doughty fits into Nathan’s plans, there is a suggestion that the new boy is somewhat injury prone:
Got a good one there fair play, injury prone thats his only problem
— Jonathan (@JonnyMordecai) June 20, 2022
Shame he didn't much of a crack at ours but tbh I think that injury took its toll in a big way.

Hopefully, those injuries were just related to his body maturing and he’ll slot into our side and provide that little something extra.
