With Begovic currently undergoing a medical per WSL, it got me thinking. Does anyone recall any player who has failed a medical at Loftus Road resulting in us not completing the deal? It sometimes feels like having a chequered medical history is a prerequisite before we consider signing a player! [Post edited 14 Jul 2023 1:37]

I think players have failed medicals many times and it feels like we’ve taken a view? [Post edited 14 Jul 2023 5:55]

Heh heh… I wonder… heh heh… do these medicals actually bother to check signings are able to pump blood adequately around their bodies? Because, heh heh, they didn’t seem to check last season. Or maybe the machine was broken?
Hello?
Is this thing on?
Hello?
I’m implying some of our recent signings were lacking in heart. Hello? [Post edited 14 Jul 2023 8:06]

A friend of mine works at the place where the Medicals took place and I would say that number is quite high, either through failed Medicals or, players eventually going elsewhere.
Many a time she would say this guy or that guy is having a medical and nothing was ever heard about said individual again, she knew nothing about football and often tried describing them, hilarious. | | | |

We do seem to pick up more than our fair share of crocks but didn't Charlie Austin fail a medical at another club before joing us? So I guess sometimes its worth a risk. |  | | |

Two players that it would seem inconceivable that they would pass a medical
a) Richard Ord
b) Keiron Dyer
On the other side of the coin - Didn't we sign Martn Rowlands with a broken leg? |  | | |

I wonder if medicals now are pass or fail, or more nuanced i.e 10% of x injury based on data, likely to miss 5 games due to required rest periods etc - up to you if you want to risk it, and we tend to say, let's risk it where others might not.
I don't mind taking a risk on a percentage of the squad, if that means signing quality players otherwise out of our reach, who we might get lucky with and might not - a calculated risk as such. We can't however load the squad with these players. | |

I would assume medicals cover more than just "being able to play right now" (heart conditions, eg?) and also perhaps a requirement to get insurance on the player? |  | | |

May have been however I remeber Mark Hately arriving on crutches!!!
He was no faster without them |  |

Assume insurance would definitely be a concern, and factored into contract, and perhaps higher up the list if a long contract and transfer fee vs 1 year contract and free transfer.
I have no idea really of course! | |

Hateley as well. Who can forget that unveiling at LR hobbling onto the field on crutches.
Edit: Just seen Enfield beat me to it. [Post edited 14 Jul 2023 9:34]

Ned Zelic played on handful of games because pitches in UK were too hard to his legs or something like that. | | | |

The whole Zelic thing was so bizarre. Went on to have a brilliant career, he should have been an excellent signing.
Wasn't all that knees stuff a load of rubbish, and more about he expected us to be like Arsenal, and arrived to find out we were a tiny club in west London? | |

I think Sturridge once came on as a sub and was subbed 90 seconds later after crocking himself again. | |

Don't forget that Chris Willock did the same last season!
I thought Dyer started the match & was injured in the first minute. I'm assuming it was at home to Bolton in the first match of the 2011-12 season. | | | |

You're probably right, Terry. You've got a much better memory than I have. | | | |

JCS already achieved that this season and in our first friendly.
That says it all.
