Can't believe Fulham got Holtby. Seems to me he would have been a decent signing for us, at least as a stop-gap until the summer.
 
Still failed to see a single game in which he did anything but run about like a headless chicken, Holtby that is.

AS for medicals, I can't believe anyone actually thought the question was worth responding to. Of course you can fail medicals, but they are like anything else. Take a car, one mechanic thinks it's fine, another genuinely thinks it's not fit and needs to be fixed, yet another one tells you they are iffy as a negotiating tactic.

Sometimes a player is fully match fit and has been playing but medical staff find an underlying issue that could cause problems over time, how much of a problem, how soon, depends. This is the issue that stopped Ba going to Stoke, they believed he was fine but had a knee issue that could basically stop him playing any time and they didn't want to take the risk. West Ham decided the issue wasn't that bad/likely to occur and bought him.

Another player will have a currently broken leg or serious injury, but medical staff can access an injury, scans, determine how long they think he'll be out for, chances of full recover. If you can get a 30mil player for 15mil while injured and the docs are 98% sure he'll make a full recovery, they'll recommend buying him, if they think he'll never be the same, they might say 15mil, joke, 5mil, worth the risk because he's that good.

You can't literally fail a medical, but a club can decide not to buy you based on what the docs tell you as a result of the medical. Currently playing doesn't make you certain to be recommended by medical staff, and being injured with a terrible injury doesn't mean medical staff will definitely not recommend you.

As with mechanics, or two of any people in any profession, two doctors can have entirely different opinions of the same injury/player/situation.

Klose is a proven goal scorer and we need a striker right now, not sure about Kallstrom, never seen him play but according to Transfermarkt he's a central midfielder and we have those coming out of our ears. Literally the last position that needs strengthening at this moment in time.

Only issue with Klose is his age and whether or not he would be able to deal with the pace and physical nature of the PL. As for Kallstrom, never heard of him and not sure he is what we need..hopefully its just a loan move rather than a permanent one. We really need to start getting world class players in.
 
Moyes has ruled out any business at his press conference (except outgoing loans of youth players), suspect he's telling the truth so nothing for us.
 
At his press conference Jose Mourinho has confirmed that there will be no more from the transfer market until the summer.

Why doesn't Arsenal sign Osvaldo ? He seems to be wanting to leave and Southampton isn't exactly challenging for the title.

He's **** and an absolute **** to go with it. We'd be better off playing Sanogo over signing Osvaldo.

Yeah I don't really think it's a wise move to go for him, he has a fairly patchy injury record and given his age I doubt he'd cope that well with the physicality of the league. Would've liked to have seen us sign Mandzukic but I don't think that was ever on the cards really.

Must be something in it if the Echo have it, but seems strange that we're looking to bring in an AM and LW when it would appear that our main needs are LB and DM.

Rodgers must be absolutely convinced that Gerrard can successfully play that DM/Holding position and I guess we're waiting on Enrique to be back shortly.

It's the deadline day rumor mill section, I'm just bored waiting on the Ukrainian dude ;)

I can only assume cause Gerrard did well for us there vs Everton he now thinks 100% it can be done, IMO it worked so well at weekend due to Countinho being deeper.

Who knows last hour could be the opposite to whats reported so fun night for us...well maybe
