If you're correct about the dates, then this is a Dier and Foyth-type situation, where the player was not in this country and registered to an English FA club for the full 3 years, and thus is not HG.
I hope our club secretary or whomever is all over this verifying Doherty's precise situation, because the HG status would surely have an impact on the price we're prepared to pay.
Dead keen tbh..... Best of the links we've had so far.

now milk hopefully as a back up and we are rolling
Which signing?
Those rules are different. For UEFA a player must have been registered with a home association club for 36 months between the beginning of the season in which he turned 15 and the end of the season in which he turned 21.
I still don't see how that adds up though. The end of the season in which Doherty turned 21 was in May 2013 for Wolves. Maybe it's designated as June 30 for administrative purposes, but 36 months prior to that is June 30, 2010, and Doherty signed for Wolves in July 2010.
Do you have a link confirming he was an association-trained player for UEFA purposes this season? I can't find anything.
It would be pretty funny if we had a RB who is homegrown for EL but not PL, and a LB who is homegrown for PL but not EL.
Would be very spurs wouldn’t it.
At least it would be balanced. The Davies thing is really weird (and total bullshit, in total contravention of the purpose of HGP rules)
Is it a done deal?
Lloris
Doherty - Toby - Dier- Davies
Hojbjerg - Lo Celso
Lucas - Dele - Son
Kane
Is something I imagine Jose would pick

Spurs look to bolster fullback with Wolves’ Matt Doherty
He fits the Mourinho mold, but there’s a problem.

Doherty's defensive stats don't compare very well to Aurier according to the above.
Wolves are expected to sign Woolwich's versatile Ainsley Maitland-Niles in a £20m deal and his ability to play at right-back could help Spurs' own chances of prying away Doherty in a deal that could be worth around the £12m mark, not including add-ons.
just still not convinced by either the CB pairing or the LB but hey ho.
I get you but Mourinho is and for me that's all that matters
I don't get this line of thinking.
Are you then implying that if Mourinho thought Kane should sit and Hart be our striker you would be fine with that because Mourinho thinks its good?

Doherty not HG for EL.
"List B" is kids though, not HGP.
There are Wolves boards with many page threads arguing whether or not he's homegrown, sources at the club, sources at other clubs, pretty hilarious. Apparently the EFL rules have slight differences to the PL and UEFA ones, so there may be three different answers.

I was looking at the stats This morning and you’re right but this yet another occasions where looking at the stats are utterly misleading. Doherty is better than Aurier.
