deadredfred Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 How do you pass a medical with a knee injury? As simple as knowing the knee in injured, assessing it as best you can alongside doing all the other feasible medical checks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say so, if it was ACL or something serious no chance it’d go through and the medical would pick up any underlying issues / weakness. Probably just bruising or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Riaz said: Fans shouldnt take what pearson says too literally. If he says we want x price - he's aways going to quote a higher price than we are willing to accept Basic rule of negotiation, when selling, start high. And Pearson saying we cant spend...... We have just sold a player for big money and clubs are going to know and ask for bigger money. Another negotiation tactic - saying we arent able to spend much - lower the hype. I fully expect we've got the deal we wanted and i fully expect us to sign 2 or 3 players for 1m-4m each.

petehinton Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Bournemouth signing him injured, knee injury going to keep him out for weeks. That’s the conspiracy over then.

BCFCGav Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Fabrizio'd. 20 million, 5 million in add-ons (hopefully achievable add ons, we may never know the ins and outs). That's a LOT of money for our club. Good luck Alex. Seemed a good kid. If we play Bournemouth in our impending League Cup run, have a stinker for us son. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Alex Scott may turn out to be a £100m player in a few years. Equally, had we kept him, he could have got a major injury and ended up worth next to nothing. He may also not have improved as much as people expect, so a deal worth £25m is pretty good for all parties I think even though I would have loved to see him stay. Let's hope that the money is spent wisely on players who will significantly improve the sqad rather than bring in players who are no better than what we have as has been done in the past. We really need a centre back, midfielder and a striker before the window closes but I doubt we will get all three.
