The last report of Vinagre was that he had an achilles issues that may need surgery. This is a big assumption but it could be the fact is that after seeking a specialist its been determined he doesn't need surgery and if thats the case the recovery times drops from 4 months to about 8 weeks
 
Happy to have a broader discussion in the FFP thread if this becomes a back and forth, but please drop the he said she said gump. The comment about head above water is in regards to being competitive, not about surviving as a club. If we're relying on sales in order to be able to invest, then it's reliant on continually finding players we can sell at a profit. If we head into next summer unable to bring in decent money in player sales are we saying we wouldn't be able to invest? And if so we'd be.. going backwards, i.e. not keeping our heads above water. If we have no headroom for investment without player sales then that's a concern.

What we're doing is what every non parachute club is doing. We're all in the same boat with limits on investment

If he's injured and still signed after having a medical, I'd be shocked after last year

Medicals aren't really to figure out if the player is injured at the time of the medical (unless its not been disclosed and the player is trying to pull a fast one) its more to figure out the long term health.

Players have and will continue to pass the medical phase while injured

And then needs surgery 2 weeks after that which will see him out of action 4 to 6 months

If someone's out long term with a a torn Achilles, we wouldn't be signing him.

Unless is buy option is about £50k
