Bit strange no?
All journos. Sky sports etc say medical completed.
Whats the hold up?
Is he having second thoughts as the original link said he wasn't that keen |
Probably more likely all the reasons people have said in this thread? |  | | |

Pretty sure it will be from our side. |
Yep.
We could take a chance on Pan Camara at 500k, but not with £30m on the line.
So it obviously feels like we are trying to renegotiate the package for less money. Or maybe strip the obligation to buy out of the deal. |  | | |

....plus he's a different type of striker.
Might as well go for Lukaku! |
Don’t see why he’s a different type of striker. Excellent movement, plays off the last shoulder, good running into the channels, presses really well, quick. He would suit us. Not suggesting we’ll buy him and no doubt out of reach financially. |  | | |

It would mean a second epic meltdown on a championship club forum in a matter of hours. |  |

He didn’t want to come to us originally iirc? But then changed his mind. I wonder why - were we his last and only option? (not expecting you to know btw, am just musing). |  |

Think the talks with the club encouraged him, he was up here last weekend. | |

The issue is as Sitters has said Chelsea are not the most flexible and we aren’t actually sure when he we be able to play a game for us.
Gonna drag I think |
Is he currently injured? I'd guessed our concerns were around his longer-term health. | | | |

As I understand it. If he was to sign he would not be ready to play for a decent amount of time after what they found in the medical. Which leads to contractual issues I assume.
Seems a few other people in this thread have heard similar, so wonder if they have heard similar on that specifically. |  |

Ah, thanks for the reminder 👍
I imagine, given our current injury list, we were looking for someone who could get up to speed and be available immediately. | |

Assuming if the al hamadi to Sunderland deal is real then clarke deal maybe held off until broja outcome is known. | |

If it was anything major I’m sure national journos would be all over this. And Chelsea would be frantically and publicly trying to move him elsewhere. Imagine it’s something pretty minor as Phil and Stuart Watson have said. | | | |

Damn what a blow, I can only imagine the work it took to reach this stage of the transfer.
The Fotis option excited me a lot but there's a huge difference between a conditional £30M purchase next season and a concrete £30M purchase this summer. | | | |

People really need to understand how reliant local journos are on remaining in the good books of Ashton. | |

I’m not saying your wrong but didn’t he take a full part in their pre season tour to the states and was then training with the cast-offs once they’d got back. No hint he was currently injured or unable to play because of underlying issues | | | |

Might not be an injury, might be some other health issue undiscovered until now? |  | | |

As per your understanding, are we looking at immediate corrective surgery & weeks of recovery, or intense targetted physiotherapy & careful management of his return? | | | |

You would have to be a bit worried if ITFC medical staff are sharing sensitive personal information to joe public for any ITK to know anything beyond say ' a few issues/hold ups ' | | | |

Or indeed to anyone other than senior people at the club, to whom the player has agreed for medical information to be released. Would be a serious breach of confidentiality and professional ethics. | | | |

Pretty much. And it’s clear a few others on here have heard the same as me.
Which is “medical didn’t go smoothly, concerns around his level of fitness and how immediately he could contribute, leads to ITFC taking another look at the contract” which I mean I think the speed at which it’s not being announced is pretty telling.
Beyond that idk. My contacts aren’t that good. | |

I rate him. Maybe not £30m worth of forward but certainly looked sharp when I’ve seen him. |
Sure I saw in passing that he had never scored more that 5 goals in a season in the prem. not researched it but was a bit of a surprise. |  | | |

Yeh minus a decent loan spell with Saints where he looked really promising he has been very stop start.
Not had many opportunities to score goals tbf to him. | |

Basically no issues other than town trying to change the value of the obligation to buy which tbf is right to do. Even if he passed with flying colours you'd want them to.
Maybe. We didn't think we'd get clarke but as we have its changed our financial plans and we need to change the broja terms especially if we are going for the burnley cb now too. | |
