Ticks all the boxes that we have heard about Mou wanting an experienced (and tall!) RB coming in. 28 is the new 32 for Mourinho under Levy.
Genuinely curious what Wolves would want for him since he has 3 years left on his deal. £12m seems...low.

Yeah Doherty and Hojbjerg would take our two worst regular starters and replace them with stylistically similar players who can execute the same roles, just better.
And if we can do it on the cheap and with a net improvement in our HGP situation, that's some nice business.
If they give us the £3 million then we are on to something.So that £3 million a CCV then?
It is £12 million plus add ons according to the article. Not sure why people want us to pay more for him! It’s endemic of here that any good news gets poo pooed though.
This is the area I’d be most concerned about. He would be a good signing and certainly an upgrade on Aurier in the offensive aspects of the “high and wide” way Mourinho wants his right back to play. Doherty is highly protected in Wolves’ system though, he is not a great defender by any stretch, which is a worry seeing as he will most certainly have to do more defending in our system.
He’ll be a solid signing and should be an improvement on Aurier, but he’s played in a back four for Ireland before and looked very average, so it will be interesting to see how he fairs tbh.
Not a matter of wanting to.. It's just that Wolves won't sell a regular starter - with a contract until 2023 - for a measly £12m + some add-ons to us.
Alasdair Gold got this one all wrong, would've made more sense if he was taking about £21m + add-ons.

He's only on £50k a week. Doubling his wages would not be an issue. Hard to turn down that kind of raise.
Silly because that's never going to happen, I'd rather the manager be happy with our squad than unhappy yes
Maitland-Niles cost £20m - I suspect that is closer to the actual price, which coincidentally, is about what we are trying to get for Aurier.
I'm just trying to understand the thinking that's why I used the Kane example to see if it was a back the manager 100% or back the manager on what some would consider debatable positions.
If I see a manager happy with a sub-par team I would want him sacked rather than worrying about whether he is happy or not.
I have deleted my post. I thought the asterisk referred to HG but as you say it's for List B.
Doherty arrived at Wolves July 2010. His DOB is 16/1/92.
So season 2010-11 he was 17 on 1st January
2011-12 18.
2012-13 19
2013-14 20.
Definition
UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21
Doherty is definitely 100% HG.
I think...

I hope so, just can't see it, would love to be proved wrong but I can't see us selling Aurier for what we want and he would stay
Sub par is your opinion and not the managers, 100% if he ever did bring Sissoko on for Kane which is a more realistic yet similar scenario I would back him yes
If he wanted to bring Levy on I would back him, whoever the manager is back him 100%
Well, looking at this you'd think Grealish will start kicking up a fuss to move somewhere else....
He's turning 29 this season. For Wolves, they are swapping a player who will basically have no sell-on value in two years for a 23 year old that will fit well in their 3-4-3 at lower wages. If they come out even in terms of net spend I think they are okay with that, even if it was a year before they probably planned to move on.
I don't think its going to be £12m + add-ons, but somewhere in the £20-25m range is feasible.
Defining what those start and end points mean is very tricky.
I know it is my opinion, I just don't get backing a manager who does things that you clearly see as wrong/crazy/dumb.
So Doherty’s the one. I wonder if Wolves let him go for a cheaper price as he wants a new challenge and been there 10 years. Levy certainly wouldn’t!
He’s not the way I’d like to go stylistically, but if we can get him cheap, we’d be better than last season for sure. He does feel a bit like a mark 2 version of Trippier.

he is 3x Trippier going forward and a decent defender
Evey manager makes decisions that are wrong but that doesn't mean you don't back them
