AJ Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 16 minutes ago, The Fun Factory said: What is a partial medical? Is that along with a partial takeover, a partial balanced squad, and a partial transfer strategy? Its when the medical staff are not impartial, and insist he gets a hip replacement and a boob job before he can take the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukes Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Surely this must be going through ? Elphick is apparently on his way to Hull for a medical, even Bruce wouldn’t be stupid enough to let him go without securing a replacement......would he ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d hope we get this lad in if Elphick is on his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to believe it To be fair if the lad calls this morning and says 'no deal' - there ain't a lot Bruce can do. Not sure an overseas 20 year old is the answer to be honest.

I doubt the Elphick deal will go through unless this does. Might as well get the medical done anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Maybe Bruce was impressed with Bree as a potential 4th choice CB? I doubt he'll play at RB any time soon as he's actually a RB. Really hope we get this deal done though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too late for Terry now. Even if we signed him now it would probably be October before he's ready to play. As much as I would have liked to see him here again this season, I don't think it's going to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised more haven't picked up on this point. He's a 20 year old, the chance of him coming to a new country with very little experience of first team football anywhere and being good enough to dominate the Championship is quite remote. Seems yet another of these mysterious "one for the future" signings when we need someone right now who can walk straight into the starting 11 and be our first choice pick.

This is true but I think we are so depleted at the back we have to take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October is 4 weeks away, the benefit of just having him around the club would be more than worth the wait for Terry to get back to fitness. Plus we’ll be needing a new manager by then....

And I think there's very very little chance we'll be looking for a new manager at all this season, let alone by October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s quite remote... if he’s good enough. There are plenty of young, foreign players who have come to the Championship and done well.
