I wonder how easy it is to take something, fake something, or say something to help you to fail a medical? He obviously had set his heart on West Ham which wouldn't necessarily be to do with the club but the location. A young foreigner would want to live in London

A young foreigner would want to live in London Our medicals don't seem the sternest of tests either do they and can't remember many failing over the years despite the crocks we managed to accumulate - bet there's one legged three foot dwarves out there fancying their chances. |

He's often been held up as a 'one that got away' but judging by that attitude, we probably dodged a bullet ourselves. He wouldn't have done well for us under Pulis with that attitude.

Not really a new story. He didn’t want to come here, he wanted to move to a bigger club in a bigger city. Makes sense. More of a shame for Hoffenheim really.

Players never "fail" a medical. The club takes a number of tests, history of injuries, missed games stretches etc all carried out by club Doctor and physio and then this is passed back to a club. The fee is sometimes the biggest factor in deciding if a club is going to "risk" signing that player.

Yeah it's all risk based, you'd pass a medical on a free player but if your paying 25mil and both players have the same results it may push the club into a risk not worth taking, so they fail it |

The cheek, rumour was something in his blood test wasn't quite right at the time. He failed 2 medicals on his knee at different clubs There was a player who had something not right in his blood (allegedly) way before him. |

Funny because at the time he was adamant he hadn't failed it. How things change over time?

No this player never signed His career was already going downhill Too difficult for me I can’t remember half the players who did sign never mind the ones who didn’t and that’s nothing to do with illegal substances. Legal one’s however. |

Legal one’s however. Demba Ba had failed a medical in Germany previous to us, forget the club. Many gave Pulis a hard time on here re the medical at the time as if was his fault. Think his agent lost it with us after and we tried to take him on loan but wasn't having it after we made it public but what were we meant to do?. Went to West Ham on loan then of course initially Didn't Cresswell fail a medical at Hull before joing us? |

I still remember us booing him because we decided not to sign him, he then went on and scored a hattrick.

All the prick needed to do was say he didn’t want the move. But of course he is a greedy twt who was keeping his options open. Just interested in the money. Prk

Bullet dodged. Well done TP and others.
If we dodged a few more of these types we wouldn’t be in the situation we are today.

Shows we called this one right.
Glad we never signed someone who didn’t want to be here, but equally glad someone who didn’t want to come wasn’t forced to. No point making people miserable, even well paid footballers.

Dear Demba
I was happy that you didnt sign then.
You clearly had a smidge of talent and scored a few goals elsewhere, but you seem to think that we as Stoke fans give you a miniscule of a thought.
We dont.
So fuck off.
Yours
Stoke fans.
