Definitely Dodged the bullet then ? ...... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antof Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 They must be injury prone or we don't sign them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I believe Jim Magilton failed his medical at Hillsborough but we signed him anyway. Ironically I don't recall him missing many games through injury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos non training methods scuppered anybody who used to be fit. Plus it was rumoured the surface at the training ground wasn't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) MG every player that crosses the white line is prone to injury. each injury carries a multiplier effect. A little like a car once the head comes off the likelihood of the head coming off again increases exponentially. Time to weigh in and cut your losses ! Problem is fans, like car owners develop an attachment. The mistake only dawns on you once you are pounds out of pocket.

Flat Owl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Not forgetting ‘Ironsides who wasn’t allowed to take corners to save his legs. And Jim Holton wasn’t fit when we signed him either was he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he manages that, then we sign him. That's way too stringent mate.. Players turn up with a doctor's note and say I've been put on panel for 2 weeks... I'll be back after that.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played 32 times in the Prem. Nothing in his career to suggest he was a bad egg, unprofessional etc. And then he came to us. Wonder if one day we will find out the truth.

Pale Rider Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Heard James Herriot had a good look at Big Dave, Winnall and Rhodes. Strange considering his familiarity with cows arses, he didn’t spot any of them couldn’t hit one with a banjo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Sure there’s been times where players fail the medical and clubs still sign them. Plus we knew about Hutchinson before signing him with him nearly retiring at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
