Hypothetical and not sure how these things work but… would it still be possible for a last minute bid from Stoke negate everything that has been accomplished on this transfer so far, or are we now beyond that point?

Until we are watching another terrible welcome video then anything is possible

This seems unfair. A fair system would ensure that the teams and players involved become committed to deliver upon certain conditions of the transfer being satisfied. A late bid should not be allowed as a possibility once these other conditions have been satisfied!

Something like signing a contract?

Exactly. Boro should by now already have in its hands a conditional contract signed by both Boro and Brighton. Once any conditions are waived by the buyer Boro, it should become a go.

And what has actually happened?

I don’t know, but one would hope that to get this far…
1) a Boro bid with conditions and ensuing negotiations between the clubs
2) a conditional agreement, with purchaser conditions, seller add-ons if any and upcoming expiry date, signed by both Boro and Brighton
3) player has agreed terms with Boro to satisfy one of the conditions
4) player has passed medical to satisfy another one of the conditions

I found out who we signed when I phoned Boro hotline & heard Robbie Mustoe, I've thought whose he!

He himself didnt know where Middlesbrough was & had to look it up on a map, not the internet either, a good old fashioned atlas & a match made in heaven

Going back to my original question then…
With the completion of 2 above, would it be safe to assume that Stoke or any other club cannot negate this transfer with a higher bid until this agreement has expired through non-completion?

It’s a respect thing I’d assume there’s s certain way of acting and some clubs abide by it whereas others don’t.

Remember ‘Arry hiding the fax we sent over.

So in theory yes but I’m reality who knows.

I didn’t know about that one but I guess receipt confirmations have to be integral to the process of completing these transactions.
