Did he though ? If the issue is his cartilage wearing away, this would have happened over a long period of time, only reaching the critical stage when with us. Perhaps we should consider whether the medical assessment before signing is thorough enough ? I would have thought that a simple x ray of his knees would have shown up the potential problem. Maybe it did and we decided to sign him regardless ?
In fairness to the club an X-ray wouldn't actually show the ligament damage and erosion. You would need an MRI done to clearly show that. I doubt (but have no knowledge here) when a club at our level does a medical that they also do an MRI as they aren't cheap.
Thanks for that Indo, an interesting article.
It is interesting. Hope City give our potential signings the full McCoy. Good point too that some players have a minimal medical due to being signed at the last minute before a deadline.
Given that pre-season won't even start for a bit yet and that we know deals are in the offing, no, no need to worry. It's probably a sign that we're aiming high, and that players we want might be holding out for a League 1 club before signing on the dotted line.
Well one goalkeeper is all but done so I will be surprised if we don’t have confirmation of that on Monday or Tuesday.
What makes you think that?
