I think he was scouted when he scored and assisted at The THS, when he looked good or was that because we were so bad?Don't think he was scouted at all. Not by our scouts or data analysts, unless it came at the latter stages.
I imagine it was a simple case of Mendes knowing the situation at Wolves and what fee Wolves would be happy with, he relayed that info to Jose, who probably was happy to do it as it gave him that advanced RB he wanted for his lopsided formation.
All that considered they realised it was a straightforward deal to do so noted Levy, who was happy to go cheap in this instance.
I can't for one second imagine out data analysts and scouts observed him on their own accord as a player we should follow. First of all, his age would have counted against him and secondly he didn't fit our system or team at all.
Do you think it’s as simple as we’ve been playing Doherty on the wrong side perhaps.
I am not saying he is not a bad player. But going forward doesn't 100% mean putting crosses. Some wing backs love overlapping runs while some enjoy underlapping runs. He would be bad in 90% of systems but I would say he can be fantastic in 19-20 Sheffield United's system, in which center backs are overlapping to put crosses and wing backs attacking the penalty area.such a bad player, there are bad players and than there is this guy, told he was good going forward, never seen him put a decent cross in

Doherty should head back to Wolves (where he’s had good success) - and Traore should come to Spurs…
That seems a bit harsh, but I'll admit the Pacos performance of Doherty and Winks, a game both should have dominated, particularly Doherty with no real threat on the right and plenty of possession, was one of the worst single game performances relative to expectations by any one Spurs player that I can remember in a few years. Definitely since the Soldado/Paulinho/Ciriches days. There have been other tough losses in cup games from bad goals conceded and a lack of chances created in the intervening years but I don't recall feeling so disgusted by any player's single game performance in a while. Doherty seemed to lose possession every time he touched the ball.One of the worst players i've seen in a spurs shirt
Can’t understand how he has gone from pretty decent at wolves ( stats wise ) to total dog shit with us.
Probably 3-5-2 into 4231. No defensive responsibility at Wolves and able to play high up the pitch. Just another incredibly poorly scouted player to add to the increasing list.Can’t understand how he has gone from pretty decent at wolves ( stats wise ) to total dog shit with us.
