Imo, he’s got excellent off the ball movement just like Serge. If that assessment is also true then he’s basically a taller and stronger Aurier without the rash challenges so I still think he’s an upgrade.

Quality
Agree. We're the least successful of the big 6 clubs (sad face) so perhaps these smaller clubs see us closest to them, or possible targets to overtake.

Yeah I just read that Sky Sports article on Doherty which is pretty illuminating. He effectively plays as a forward most of the time. Although that is in Wolves's wing back system so to play him in a 4 would negate that freedom to an extent, however much Ben Davies is tucking in.

We do seem to attract weird levels of hate from every clubs.

I have to say, so far this window has been superb business for us. Hojbjerg for about £3million net, Hart for free and now Doherty for around £15 million (which if we sell Aurier for around the same amount will be for basically nothing). Two high priority positions sorted with what seem to be Jose's top picks for each position and relatively quickly.
It really does feel like Levy and Jose are working really well together and we are getting the job done smartly, cheaply and efficiently. Loving it.

Be a bit difficult considering he's still on holiday! Terms and fee probably tied up though

You don’t need to be in the UK to have a medical or to sign a contract.

I think they are just in disbelief of the fee. He's a regular starter for them and they'll be losing him for circa £15m. If someone said Davies was off to Chelsea for £10m we would probably be calling bullshit and scratching our heads too.
Whilst I don't like getting involved in 'my club is bigger than yours' arguments I am struggling to see what they have done in the last two seasons to suggest Spurs isn't a step up from Wolves. It's not like they've just qualified for the CL or anything. They finished below us in the league (despite us having a car crash of a season) and don't even have European football. I accept us being a rival to them as they have European football ambitions but to say it's not a step up is so blinkered it's unreal. We were in a CL Final a year ago.
My favourite comment was 'they can only offer more money' as if that isn't the primary motivator for most career moves.
Edit: After reading that forum I must admit they seem a pretty level headed bunch overall, one of the better ones I've seen tbh. You always get a few whoppers.

If there's been ITK, let me know and i'll think about putting myself through the frustration of that thread again. If the deal is made official, again, please tag me to let me know.

Sissoko is also an Arsenal fan, and he gives it everything for us. Who he supports is irrelevant

Trix had some ITK about Kim-Min Jae an hour or so ago and JJ confirmed that the Doherty stuff was legit last night but I suppose neither of those are particularly surprising news.

Aurier too (most black frenchmen it seems). And Defoe was as well.
