Your contradicting yourself there a bit.. earlier you said "medical first, then discuss terms" Which is why a few ppl pulled you up on it, as that is not what happens. But what your saying now is correct, a medical has to be passed before the contract is signed. But thats two different things.. It's basically, clubs agree fee, player agrees terms, medical takes place, player signs the contract.
No-one is fishing. This began when I commented when it was suggested on here that the club went through the motions of signing the lad ( forgot his name already) who went from Leeds to Barnsley. Meaning the club had no real intention of signing him. I disagreed. They wouldn't have gone through the trouble of giving him a medical if that was the case and at City a medical comes before a contract. Believe it or don't believe it. Does it really matter ? Seemingly if you don't toe the party line of here you are tied to the stake and burnt alive.
If Bowen were to leave on a free at the end of his contract and McGuire decides to stay at Leicester that would leave the massive cxxts that preside over the current shambles a few quid short of been able to do one. When are the accounts due out? How much money did the club lose turning the Kcom into a hovel this year? With a bit of luck Bowen could be here longer than the owners. If he has made a decision to see out his contract and leave as many others have before him then he could be here to see what new owners are offering.
Then OLM questioned if the medical had taken place as there had been no mention of it in the media, you came along all ITK stating that not everything gets into the media but you know the FACTS. Does seem odd to me that you would bring a person for a medical without at least getting a deal in principle sorted first.
FFS. Give it a rest. Perhaps OLM was wrong ? Perhaps I was right ? Does it really matter because you don't believe me anyhow?
People usually don't believe condescending twats, hence why nobody believes you, regardless of any truth or not. Life pro tip - don't speak to people like you're better than them, and they might... MIGHT... not treat you like a thundercunt.
A club identifies a target. Discussions will take place with the player but more usually his representatives and an idea of what he wants will be floated around. If that is ok then the terms are discussed in detail and a contract is drawn up. This may take a long time. Finally he will come for a medical and sign his contract. The problem is always when the agent receives a last minute better offer which suits both him and the player, usually him. Even after the medical the player will change his mind and he is off to where the better money is, usually with a bit of back pocket flash money too. All these statements about the club making them feel more wanted, just bollocks. Like a lot of bollocks that is spouted on here.
Just like Turbo last year when he was in Turkey, another club that he seemingly fancied more showed an interest and the Turkish deal fell apart.
Hate to say it, but surely we need Bowen to leave (for a significant fee - £15-£20 million) and Harry to move on for ridiculous money of around £80 million (in different circumstances, I'd rather he stayed at Leicester and they continued to build round him). If the above happen, presumably there is a chance we see the ****s finally sell up. If the above doesn't happen, then there is no way they will find a buyer willing to pay what they reckon they are still owed.
Bowen has one year left of his deal, but the club have the option of another year, so effectively it's two years and he'll be off as soon as there's a Premier League offer. The accounts will be out in September or October. I can't believe so many people still can't get Maguire's name right, it's not like he's called Giannakopoulos.
If the buyer is a footballer transferring to another club, does the above apply before or after he has had his medical, and/or agreed terms with his new club? Asking for a friend (who is moving to Barsley).
We didn't release him - he did not sign a new contract because he wanted to leave to play at a higher level. You've got a great striker. Fantastic finisher.
