Re the new lad.... Dicko was always reported as playing better off a big target man.... seems he may get chance to show that...

Not sure he will as Terry plays 4-3-3. So it’ll be one centre forward with a winger either side.

Unless they can convert Dicko to play like a winger? May not be a bad idea as he is pretty quick.

The problem with that theory is he has also got to be able to put a cross in. We all know he can't.
 
Our policy now is a thorough medical before discussing terms? The only club In Britain to do so. I don't wanna stretch this argument out cos I don't know no where near as much as you but in this case I am right..for once..
And despite some of my posts I do respect the knowledge you bring to this forum but when I'm right I'm right(it's not often)
An interest is shown in a player obviously but no offer is made until the player passes a through medical. The club have come unstuck too many times by skirting around this. It may have been the case up to quite recently but I can assure you the medical comes first these days. If they don't pass that then no offer is made.
Its not bullshit, its common sense.

Always thought in a system where don't play 2 central strikers Dicko's best position could be out wide. Can't see him as a single central striker unless refinds whatever he had at Wolves one season.
 
How long does Bowen have left on his contract? Is it one year? If it is I don’t why people think he’s staying? It’s even more reasoning for him to leave?
 
Sounds a reasonable signing, we've needed a target type player for a while now, gives us a different option upfront. I noted a bit of hesitation in Peter Taylor's comments about him, but I guess he would have succeeded in getting to play regularly in the Championship or EPL if he was perfect.
 
'A deal's been done, subject to a medical.''

These are the words we hear throughout the Premier League transfer window, when clubs have just a few weeks to buy and sell players to fine-tune their team.

The fees have been agreed and the personal terms have been sorted.

Now it's time for the final hurdle in negotiations - a player's medical examination.

FFS. How naïve are you ?
So we sign a player up, probably giving him a two or three year contract......then give him a medical and find out he's carrying a long term injury ?
Maybe happened with Jimmy Bullard when every man and his dog jumped down the clubs throat for doing it and maybe happened when we signed Angus MacDonald, and look where that got us. But things have changed. Perhaps the club should have consulted you, Kempton and OLM first but the policy now is, a through medical, then discuss terms. If they fail the medical what's the point in discussing terms ?

Take it from me its a 3 year contract FACT.

Surprised you didn't know that, its on the clubs social media site thing.

Yeah.. It is as other have said BBB. The terms are always agreed first, those are considered the stumbling block as 9 times out of 10 the medical is fine. Obviously if the player fails the medical the deal usually collapses.

I think regarding Bullard, we knew about his knees, the medical showed up all of the issues, we just decided to take a gamble on him, clearly a mistake now. Angus MacDonald is different, he was just unlucky I think.

“I’ve always been realistic about it all,” said Marshall. “When I signed we were a Premier League club so there’s always going to be an issue once you’ve been relegated. The club has to cut budgets.

“I didn’t expect to get anything and knowing how well George (Long) was doing I always kept a realistic approach to it.

“Since I’ve been at the club we’ve seen a lot of lads move on at the end of a season. The starting XI from when I joined the club had pretty much left within two years.

“You’re seeing that more and more in football now but during my time at the club no-one really re-signed.

“I would’ve been happy to discuss something if that’s what the club wanted but at the same time I wasn’t expecting it.

“If there’s any disappointment it’s because I would’ve loved for the majority of the squad to have stayed together but it just wasn’t meant to be.”

“No offer was ever made and once the gaffer left I knew there wasn’t going to be anything happening then,” he said.

Two, three, four, or twenty five years contracts, it doesn't matter, the point was a medical has to be passed before anyone is signed on any contract, no matter what length it is.
For the record I do not follow the clubs social media site.

You really are clutching at straws to prove your point. Two, three, four, or twenty five years contracts, it doesn't matter, the point was a medical has to be passed before anyone is signed on any contract, no matter what length it is.

I'm not sure why you're struggling so much with the concept unless you're just fishing for a bite? Player agrees terms, player passes medical, player signs. What so difficult about that?
