what does "subject to a medical" actually means?

is he our player or not yet? can anyone still steal him?

It means he's signed a contract that we can pull out of if we find out he doesn't have any knees, but isn't superhuman like Ledders

It probably means the contract is signed, subject to passing his medical. He can't be nabbed now. This is what we should've done with Willian.

dont think anyone can steal him, sounds like he is ours unless he fails a medical

I wonder if this is instead of Lascelles or that our interest hasn't diminished with Dier coming in.

In any case, I hope the first out is Dawson and not Chiriches.

I think in this case he has already put pen to paper (why the club is announcing it) except there's an addendum in the contract stating it would be void if he fails a medical.

Somewhat different from the Willian situation where he never actually put pen to paper.

Oh look the Goat did......

A few things that have reached The Goat.

We could go after Eric Dier our scouts have watched him a lot last year. Also we have watched Matthias Ginter as well. Both good defenders who we have been tracking. Ben Davies deal is not dead either but players agent is touting him to Liverpool more than us.

Lukaku/Bony. The Goat hears that a striker is not a priority atm. But could change if Ade is out longer than expected.

I feel like a dipshit for never having heard of or seen this player once. I guess that's the extent of my contribution here...can't wait to actually watch him play some time :p

Sporting Lisbon statement (translated). Shows this was a levy special and may also indicate Baldinis black book and knowledge have come in to play given the info we obviously knew;

''Sporting Clube de Portugal, Futebol SAD announces that during the current month, started negotiations with the athlete Eric Dier for the renewal of his employment contract.


Unexpectedly, Sporting SAD was confronted by the father and the official representative of the player, with a value of acquisition by Tottenham Hotspur, who referred the decision of the current Administration for contracts signed by previous administrations and directions, which required a sale, of that athlete, for a sum not exceeding € 5 million or match the salary proposed conditions, which is impossible due to essential maintenance of its wage policy implemented and balance within the working group, the ongoing financial restructuring and necessary maintenance of the Club.

In addition, the Sporting SAD was informed that even equaling the salary proposal, the player did not wish to continue, and even that Sporting obtain a proposal, superior, both in terms of purchase or at the salary level, it was another club, the player would not accept.

Given the constraints outlined above, the Sporting SAD announces the sale of all of the economic rights of the player Eric Dier Tottenham Hotspur, the amount of 5 million euro net, without any other or future rights safeguards in accordance with contracts referred to above.

Despite the successful Sporting SAD Eric Dier wishes all the best in his career. ''

Sounds like we have stolen him and with no sell on clauses makes this a very typical Levy deal.

I hope we're doing this everytime (when needed) since Willian's case
