VDV already being a Spurs player makes a lot of sense unless Levy had 'conditions' put in the contract between Spurs and Real.. ie Conditional that VDV is registered ahead of the deadline.
If this is the case at least he's a Spurs player and will play in at least 7 games and will be raring to go by January. I'd rather have this scenario than nothing at all and being ridiculed by rival fans
This is where I'm confused. If the signing has definitely gone through, is the issue whether or not they signed within the period to be eligible to play straight away, or can any club sign someone between now and January, with that player being unable to play until then.
I didn't think any permanent transfers could be made outside of the windows..only provisional agreements.
