What stops a club signing a player subject to passing a medical?... Sign him up on the spot with clause inserted if medical throws up any problems?...

 

The medical is for insurance purposes; you probably don't want (or even can't? I'm not sure about regulations) to sign a contract without insurance in place.

Gonnae stop talking about greggs in every thread? :lol:

 

Whenever I get to another game (will probably be awhile :( ) I'm going to have to eat at Greggs because of this place :lol:

 

One of the first things I did when I was over earlier in the season.

It's amazing how that performance on Saturday (and the Remy nonsense) just sapped my excitement for what should be a really excellent transfer.

 

 

 

Just don't expect it to happen, same with haidara. Was Katrina and the waves at remy signing was the biggest punch in the gut we have been dealt in a log time IMO, compounding a frustrating, nay downright embarrassing season.

It's a Newcastle company and there's a branch every five yards in the city centre.

 

No shit? :lol:

 

They're all over the country. I'm just not getting the Greggs jokes every time a player may or may not be signing. Apart from the obvious 'Greggs started in Tyneside'.

 

Shoot me! :lol:

 

Sure a lot of the Greggs stuff started around the Kluivert era and how fat he was getting?

 

:thup: Thanks, man. Actually vaguely remember some teasing along those lines. Someone trying to explain rather than state the obvious (Wullie :lol: :rose:).

 

Originally more to do with a play on "Who ate all the pies" and Greggs being a local outlet got subbed in. Endlessly repeated by people who apparently don't understand that humour diminishes the more its used.

I'm still right like. It was just a vaguely humorous typical low-end Newcastle location for someone to say they'd seen a player. Used to be all the rage on deadline day - "just seen Brett Emerton in Greggs buying a cheese pasty"

 

As Logic says though, got canny old canny quick.

Do people really check the arrivals and departures at Newcastle? I'm absolutely certain we fly players and their reps in on Ashley's private jet nowadays.

 

Reason being he said we couldnt use Newcastle Airport? Just pointing out flights are still going and that was one of them. Wouldnt expect Ashley to fund the cost of a jet to/from France either when they do pretty regular flights :lol:

It did like. It went berserk when we signed Viduka iirc. "Haaaaar, I've just seen him eating the Greggs at Haymarket!......Haaaaaar"
