A friend of mine used to do them but was advised to stop - because of litigation implications - for example if we were going to sign a 25 year old hot shot - for £25m - but then our doctor no 'He has cartlidge wear in his knees' - deal collapses - if that player then never gets his dream move that doc could be liable - esp if by age 35 the knees have been fine. He also also reckons that a player doesn't fail a medical - and that in some cases the scans etc can be used as a bargaining tool. Wonder how they used to bargain with Paul McGrath's scans, how they bargained with those in the long career he had and how his knobly knees should of given away long before his career had finished.

Yeah I think to us he was worth more than his weight in gold, he was a true player, id settle for him in our defence now, him and Ugo ehiogu.

Indeed, between the three of them they were a force in the premiere, gave alot of the best strikers headaches, a trio that clicked together in no time at all. If only we could find a trio like them again. Paul McGrath, Earl barrett, Steve Staunton, a trio I liked from 1993.

Can't say I know anything about him, but I think that's a position where we're ok at the moment. So, right now, we're in for Doukoure, Sawyers, Radojja ,Barbett and Rico Henry if you believe the rumours. Have I missed anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed anyone? can any of them play right back???? we need more RB's, a bit short, all Bruce's fault, if we werent short of right backs we would be in a much better position. I tend to think the sweet spot would be 4 x RB's in defence, 5 x RB's in midfield, and a LB up front....just to balance the team of course, all good teams need balance after all. Watching Abraham, i tend to think he should be developed in to a RB, tall (wont be long balling him down their left), strong, quick, good on a front or back post at corners, might even offer some potency up front from corners? what more do we want?

Although I'm not sure where he played in defence it almost feels as though it was RB at Manchester united. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 various sources on Twitter (pinch of salt as always) say we are apparently signing Browning from Everton on loan, no idea if with a view to perm transfer.
