Going on loan to atletico Madrid according to sky sports
I bet he didn't expect this when getting relegated to League 1 under Saunders. It's unbelievable how his career has turned out.Going on loan to atletico Madrid according to sky sports
There are those who would say that your last sentence makes it more likely that we'd have had him back....worst thing about this is the inevitable " if hes good enough for AM we should have had him back"
when its actually because his agent is Jorge Mendes

Yes, it's just that Simeone seems like the only manager less likely than Conte to use him that way!has a particularl skill set that when used well is a huge asset. well done to him
He’s had a tough time at spurs with the fansHes come a long way from Bohemians Reserves … thanks to MM and Nuno!!
He’s a nice lad too, I wish him well
He gets a tough time here with some of ours! Part of the team/squad that brought us our best finishes in two generations and still gets stick!He’s had a tough time at spurs with the fans
A bit like Liam Neesonhas a particularl skill set that when used well is a huge asset. well done to him
I would have had him back. Between now and the end of the season Id have backed him to score the most goals for us than our current forwards.
Sorry to be a doom monger, just my view. Doherty scores goals and is a genuine threat in the final third. No coincidence things dried up when he left.

Well in the Premier League his record is 11 goals and 14 assists in 119 games. That's a very good offensive output in the top flight for a wing back.He scored goals because he had the freedom to roam inside from his wingback positions. Lopetegui prefers his wingbacks to provide with and mostly stay on the outside.
Also, he scored 28 goals in 300 games for us, so its not like we lost a major attacking outlet when he left.
I think because a lot of his goals where important goals, we tend to overestimate that part of his game.
Maybe he's seeing what happened with Trippier, he's probably the best right back in the PL at the moment after having a stint at Atletico.Great wing-back, but still dodgy in a back 4.
Athletico have played a variety of formations this season, 442, 4141, 433.
Nothing with wing-backs though?
Odd one.

Its decent, but is it enough to compensate for the obvious weaknesses?Well in the Premier League his record is 11 goals and 14 assists in 119 games. That's a very good offensive output in the top flight for a wing back.
Beat me to it… *******!!!!!!A bit like Liam Neeson
He won’t get on the pitch at full back. He’s a wing back or nothing, in my humble.He’s not scoring any goals for us from full back
That’s kind of my point. He’s of no use to us as we don’t play that formation nowHe won’t get on the pitch at full back. He’s a wing back or nothing, in my humble.
Maybe he'd not be a suitable RB, but to my mind we've not improved at RWB since his departure.worst thing about this is the inevitable " if hes good enough for AM we should have had him back"

I was agreeing. If we were sticking with a 343/352 I wouldn’t have minded him back. But as a full back, no thanks.That’s kind of my point. He’s of no use to us as we don’t play that formation now
Harry Kane was a childhood Arsenal fan.Doesn’t he support Arsenal? Which would hardly have endeared him to Tottenham fans. I like Matt Doherty and wish him all the very best.
Who can ever forget his last minute winner against Manchester City.
Agree. Other than his goals/assists I think he deserves credit for his underlapping runs that freed Adama up when he was good.Maybe he'd not be a suitable RB, but to my mind we've not improved at RWB since his departure.
He's a very good attacking WB and was a prominent feature of the greatest Wolves team for generations.
The argument that his defending wasn't good enough, although obvious should never have been the earth shattering observation people meant it as.Agree. Other than his goals/assists I think he deserves credit for his underlapping runs that freed Adama up when he was good.
To be fair to Doc, he must have been doing something the right way as he avoided the 'bomb squad'.Nuno changed his and Coady's lives.
Great move for Doc.
I always thought he was a striker/forward originallyWas originally a centre back for Bohemians.
Was a critical element in our success in my view- always finding a bit of space. Criticism of his defensive abilities sometimes failed to take account of the fact that you cannot be in both penalty areas at once. I think Semedo has a lot of qualities, but you never see him n the opposing penalty area.
