20 mins ago he just tweeted a photo of Vermaelon and Kompany at what looks like an airport (could be a shopping centre).
So, he's still with the squad and probably flying in with them for the friendly.
Can't help but think this means that no medical has taken place yet.

So, according to various sources, he was supposed to be coming for a medical last week, then it was Monday, then it was Thursday, then today. Can't help but feel we're not as far along with this as we thought we were. And I can't help but suspect that that's in some way due to uncertainty over our managerial situation - whether a doubt at Vertonghen's end about signing for a club without a manager, or from ours at pulling the trigger on £12 million of expenditure while potentially undergoing a change, something seems to have stalled.

I doubt it. I think that we are all just being a bit impatient tbh, the guy wants to sign, we seem to want him. The likelihood is that it will happen soon.

i disagree. worst case scenario we have him completely signed and he plays for belgium tomm and does a serious injury. personally makes no sense to officially sign off on deal until this game is out of way with england tomm.

i full expect news to break if everything runs smoothly tomm.

I think we'll be celebrating this signing instead of the Jubilee on Tuesday. That's my gut feeling.

Or in reality its simply that noone knows, but if 'ITK's (twitter/forum based or whatever) guess often enough at what day its they will by the law of averages will get it right at some point ?

Given that Ledley might not play again and take a role as a coach and Nelson is heading to the states, you would imagine a deal for Vertonghen must be done.
