Given Azon reportedly didn't want to come here initially 16:37 - Aug 17 with 3848 views | Cheltenham_Blue | I wonder if he pulled the plug, or if KMc didn't like the body language or something. Or whether it was a straight forward, "You won't be first choice" that did it. Long way to travel if you didn't intend to join at all. |  |

Can only be that. Although thought he’d played an entire pre season? |  | |  |

We haven’t agreed anything with anyone. He failed a medical. Won’t be coming for that reason. There are no cards up our sleeves. |  | |  |

Dangerous to read too much in McKenna's words, but why add 'this Window' if there wasn't still a likelihood that he would join one 'whatever' is sorted out? |  | |  |

This won’t be the reason, you don’t do a deal for a kid, fly them over here and send them home, especially where we are in the market. Medical or he’s pulled out himself. |  |

How do you know he didn't come across as a prk and KM thought hmm no thanks. Medical potentially but he's been playing and it was a loan move so I'd be surprised if it was. I still think it's because we've got our eyes on someone else. |  |

I’d be extremely worried if we didn’t have our eyes on loads of other players. If you get someone in the building like that you don’t suddenly get on the phone and say oh sorry this guy might want to come now. |  |

Never say never Michael Jacob's all but signed on we then dumped him for Kyle Edwards at the last moment. |  | |  |

I just can’t see it, we’ve been tracking this guy a while and didn’t give up on him after he declared us not his first choice, even really put our money where our mouth is in terms of outbidding Valencia. |  |

But who's to say we didn't receive a call from an a club saying your bid for ... we've decided to accept it. If you feel thats a better option than the one who's flown over then you're going to take that option. Until the club say or we hear different we just don't know why. |  |

It was a medical issue, it’s not just a loan deal it’s a loan deal with an obligation to buy. Given he was going to be a £10m purchase, that’s quite big commitment. |  |

Because we need multiple players, you've already said you think Apkom is the back up for Hirst in the other thread and that’s we have pulled out of this because of the Scandinavian kid linked. He’s a winger primarily and we’ve clearly made moves there post the Hutchinson sale. Something has gone wrong with this deal, we wanted him. You’ll never hear the exact reason officially anyway. |  |

More than half of the medicals I receive show an (issue) usually slight and of little concern. Sometimes there is a little more concern to it. You then make a decision, do I take the risk, manage him or eliminate the risk altogether and avoid him.That decision is usually influenced by other factors such as salary, other available options within the squad or outside of it. Failing a medical isn’t always absolute even if it is portrayed that way. |  | |  |

The club aren’t going to say why. We definitely wanted him though. Out bid Valencia for him,flew him over,deal done for a permanent switch next season etc………..Something went wrong. I should think KM is tearing his hair out at the moment. It’s been a very poor window so far. Basically a bunch of loans and a 40 year old. |  | |  |

Quite right. People seem to view a medical as pass or fail, it’s more like a risk assessment and the level of risk clubs are open to is generally dictated by the terms of the deal. If it’s a straight loan you might be more willing to take a punt compared to a £10m purchase obligation for example. |  | |  |

Agree McKenna must be tearing his hair out this summer, he said we’d be tracking him back since Real Zaragoza. Really disappointing news to finish the day. |  |

Also, bear in mind he didn't play after signing for Como in the new year. He did play in pre-season, 45 minutes here and there so it could be there are concerns over his full recovery that were highlighted in a medical. I am just speculating. |  | |  |
Given Azon reportedly didn't want to come here initially on 19:24 - Aug 17 with 1438 views | viewfromtheu2 | Would be remiss not to mention that if an alleged failed medical did happen then it could have actually found a serious health issue with the lad so let's not forget the human element to this and wish him well whatever the reason to not join ITFC are. |  |

Seems he was due to play again for Como in April near the end of the season following a calf / achilles injury he picked up in his last match for Zaragoza but suffered a setback. He didn't play again until pre-season. Real Zaragoza | Azón sufre una leve recaída de su lesión y prolonga su baja en el Como https://share.google/rMhTVbFuzuBFDQzMg |  | |  |
