"Striker search latest: Moore and Ngankum remain targets, with Gallagher deal dead." Not much time left for a medical, especially with Ngankum presumably in Germany. [Post edited 31 Jan 15:57]

Not sure we can gazump them given they sold someone for 22m yesterday. SB | |

I thought the same thing. The best we could is try and force their hand, making them spend more than they’d otherwise need to. | |

This from the EADT suggests they want to keep him anyway to fight against relegation. The 6ft 4in front man grabbed a goal and two assists in Blackburn's 4-1 home win against Wrexham in the FA Cup fourth round on Monday night and, following a recent return from injury, is seen as the man who can fire them up and away from the danger zone. | | | |

Medicals are not quite as intense as people seem to make out. | |

Indeed and as far as I'm concerned Gallagher passed a real world medical just the other day playing against Wrexham. | |

If you are paying for a player I would have thought you would want your medical people to check him over. Indeed, player insurance may well require this. And I believe we did send the medical team to Qatar, rather than just relying on the fact he was playing. [Post edited 31 Jan 16:46]

You are right- recent playing time is probably the best general measurement of fitness to play football but medics can pick up underlying issues that might only become apparent later, For example, I remember Asa Hartford's transfer from WBA to Leeds falling through because the medics found he had a hole in his heart (didn't stop him playing 744 games). Showing my age- this was back in 1971! See here- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa_Hartford | |
