Zouma Failed Medical

[Nick QQQ]

Not really a surprise is it. Can't bend his legs. I can't imagine it was a very long medical. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg20z8170vo

"Just think, he would have been Moyes' captain this season"

[Mike Oxsaw]

Is Zouma due a testimonial? If he is then the club can at least get the fans to cough up some of the money to fund his pay-off.

[Fauxstralian]

If he cant pass a medical to play walking beach football in Saudi then he obviously isnt up to Premier league football Obviously we have told him to find another club so if he cant do that then he should retire Either way we need his wages off our books and a replacement with two working legs in

"Huffers 12:04 Tue Aug 13 ''Even as he is, he’s better than The Acropolis and The Moroccan Kitten'' Agreed. I've said I wouldn't be against Zouma staying, primarily because he is still better than the aforementioned disasters."

[gph]

He's a remarkably good player for someone so clearly in physical difficulty. But what's between his ears can only compensate so much for what's between his thighs and shins. If he can communicate what's between his ears he might make a good coach.

[kylay]

I remember the rumor on here at the time we signed him was that he didn't pass that medical and would never be able to pass a medical. He looks and moves like he's playing through pain.

On the ball Will they also take in to account the record number of goals we conceded last season....

[Jasnik]

Thing is most people on here predicted he would fail his medical. So think the club were chancing their arm. I'd been interested if he would still pass our medical probably! :-(.

"Even as he is, he’s better than The Acropolis and The Moroccan Kitten"

[On The Ball]

"I take your point, but I suspect that the insurers might point out the 39 games he played for us last season - his most by seven over his other two seasons, I was surprised to read ;)"

[Jasnik]

especially as he can clearly still play. --> think that is open to debate :-)

[On The Ball]

They can't make him retire - especially as he can clearly still play. I reckon we'll release him and he'll join them anyway. His knees can't have been a surprise to them.

[Keep dreaming]

"Haha, shoot the donkey and the cսnt that bought him in the first place"

[claypole]

If its a permanent long term injury and he wont move to Uae. Can the club take an insurance payment and retire him?

[british is best]

I'm pretty sure steitden knows what he's doing. He'll end up going on a pay as you play deal .

[El Scorchio]

"Well, at least he's only got one year left on his contract so it's not a disaster and it's never harmful to have an extra body in case of injuries. However I wonder if anyone would be prepared to take him on loan for the season? Might find a taker to get a portion of his wages off the books at least."

[Dwight Van Mann]

couldn't they stick a ringer in for the medical

[Far Cough]

He runs like he's on stilts. Not surprised in the least that he failed the medical.
