There are added complications when an expensive player fails a medical from insurance underwriters I imagine.

So FC Zurich's premiums will go up then.

Zurich don't have a £10m liability.

Up until yesterday is that not what they valued him at, will they now only insure him for £250k?

I find it hard to believe any insurance company would weasel out of an existing deal, they previously agreed too, on a technicality.

Are you Peter Crouch’s agent?

I can’t think of anyone less suited for the role we need upfront. In case you haven’t noticed we don’t lump it into the box which plays to Crouch’s only strength (his height).

We have done the same for Hemed and Murray but Crouch is a better target man than either of them and would probably bring Gross/Baldock if fit, into the game more from his lay offs and knock ons. This would allow Knockhaert/ March/Izquierdo/Propper more chance to get on the returns falling out of the box.

I am not saying he is the only answer as we still need a fox in the box to operate alongside of him which perhaps could be Izzy Brown but he is a proven upgrade on what we have.

Neto's injury history on transfer market:-

As said it wasn't a great work by the medical team as with Connor.


17p to the poster who can find reference to Raphael's heart condition, on google, before yesterday.

Sorry but had to come back to this post with the reference to Connor, was that Wickham?

Goldson.

Oh yes of course thanks,
I was thinking maybe it was a little dig to our friends up the road who paid £9 mill for their sick note.

17th April, more than 4 months ago we beat Wigan 2-1 and everybody in that stadium knew on that day that we were going to need a couple of new strikers in if we were to be competitive in the PL.
131 days down and only 5 to go... I can't see us winning this game of poker now unfortunately.

This.

How come ****ing Huddersfield got ALL their business sorted pretty much before the players reported back for pre-season training and ourselves and Newcastle are still thrashing around the top player bargain basement for increasingly expensive non-entities!!!

Because,on the whole,they went for average Champiomship players that no-one else was interested in.
Mooy's decent and Mounie looks a good find (though i suppose i would say that) but would you want any of their other players in our team? I certainly wouldn't.

Cant wait for more suggestions from players of FIFA 17.

So you think with 5 days of the transfer deadline date to go we can do better than Mooy and Mounie?

And the average players that no one else is interested have allowed them to win their 1st two games.....

Lossl doesn't look bad. And he's 6ft 4.

? They made 2 big signings earlier this week.

 

[dwayne]

Neto had knee surgery immediately after we pulled the plug on that one, and the Swiss admit that they already knew about this 'deviation from the norm' or heart problem depending on your view.

I am starting to wonder how many clubs are trying to shift players with underlying medical conditions

Lots of clubs.

But most clubs are wiley enough to do the due diligence before going through the process of acquisition. Neto, for instance, was attracting a lot of interest.

The scouting and purchasing team have not delivered enough this window....still 6 days to go.

 

[BensGrandad]

CH has said all along the major business will be done after a couple of games of the season and at the end of the window, so what is the surprise?. As regards Dwamena I wonder if we would have taken a chance as FC Zurich did when they paid £250k had we been quoted £1m rather than £9m.

 

[chaileyjem]

Club insist they don't have first choices, but have multiple players in frame but not sure this is true is it Icy.

Even on basis of what was reported (presumably other bids were made) - they were bidding for Abraham as long ago as May.

? They made 2 big signings earlier this week.

They made two striker signings early in the window and I would be happy with both of those joining our current strikers at the moment, the way things are going.

Fair enough.
But OP and many others say and so do others that Hudds finished all their business a month or so ago.
It's not true.
They were signing yet more players this week from the same places we've been looking. . (Although Wagner now insists he's finally finished with his 11 signings )
