Aqualiani.

Balotelli.

Woodgate.

Can you name any more? They all seemed to be signed even when they were injured! So what is the use of a medical? To make sure they are still breathing?

I think MO was still ok when he went to Real.
 
Balotelli got injured in a match and rafa knew that aquilani was injured so it's not like the medical teams missed anything in those 2 cases
 
I suppose it's to ensure that beyond the current injury, if there are any other issues, and also to make an estimate of when the player will return to fitness

We fucked that up with the Shithouse, admittedly. Plus we should have checked to see he had a spine
 
In case there's any problems outside of standard injuries, e.g ruben de la red and his hearty problem

It was him wasn't it who failed a medical somewhere?

He clearly wasn't at Newcastle though.
 
They do turn things up sometimes. Cissokho missed out on a move to Milan because something with his teeth. I think Gabby Milito failed to secure a move to Real because of something.

his teeth? what on earth could there be in someone's teeth that would mess up a move, and surely the club could sort that out dead easy!

Kewell?

He was ok with us for a while when he came in
 
Teeth affect muscles, or something like that. I'm sure some players have had some teeth removed to help correct one thing or another to do with playing football and preventing injuries

It was a scam. Allegedly.

They said it meant a spinal issue, or potential spinal issue. They then did a second medical & tried to renegotiate the price on the basis of this medical issue.

The selling club (I forget who) sensibly saw through this scam & told them to fuck off. They later sold him to Lyon for the original price Milan wanted.

That'll be Stevie's wisdom teeth & his back problems.

In his case I suspect the club could have told him rubbing some powdered rhino horn on his feet would leave him injury free & it would have worked though TBH.

Milan made Beckham have his teeth done when he went there.
