RedM Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Maybe Villa were in all along and we were used as a hurry up? It's like a house move chain, one in one out. There will be another along soon, I'm not too concerned. And if he dd fail his medical here maybe it's our gain anyway.we don't want to sign him on a three year deal only for an old injury flare up after 3 months taking him out for 6 months.

Buckeyed Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We seem to have written an entire story around why the deal didn't go through. It is just as possible that the contract negotiations broke down i.e. wanted too much money or wanted first team guarantees etc. However based on the little/no information we have managed to decide that he had an injury and now Cotts and Coles have fallen out.

Robin1988 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That's our delay then. Villa must have called in at the last minute. Assuming it's us he was talking about on Twitter it sounded all set.

handsofclay Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'd just stick max o'leary or wallocot on the bench and use the loan market if frankie gets injured I agree. Reserve goalkeepers are ten a penny and are exempt from the restrictions placed on the acquisition of outfield players, so if the need arises at any time we can dip into the loan market or emergency loan market. Premier clubs are always looking to loan out their surplus keepers and each lower league club will only have need for one loan keeper at a time at the very most. I am not against acquiring a second keeper, but would be happy to go with what we've got and dip into the loan market if the need arises. You never know, Villa might end up loaning us Bunn!

Sargent Pepper Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't think Ms Coles or AS would have been the reason he went to Villa. Other websites reported his medical before them & agents are always talking. Despite his medical I'm sure his agent heard that Villa may soon be looking for a keeper & eyeing up a bigger percentage got on the blower & kept us hanging on for a few days. Annoying but I'm sure we've stole players from under the noses of clubs before. Not sure it says a lot for Bunn though. A back up most of his career, 3 rd choice at Norwich now facing a battle for 2nd/3rd choice at Villa? Despite what some think I believe Cotts would have eventually had him as his no1 here. Still, at least it shows up some of the smug itk's on here who claimed he had failed the medical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I know that at some top clubs when they sign players unlikely to make it into the first team squad the medical consists of simply asking the player if he has a hernia. If he does then he fails the medical coz they wouldn't want to be sued by the player for aggravating it when he picks up his wage packet each week.
