SUPERTOON Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I always find it a bit mad that with money in football, especially the premier league that we don’t get instant results from scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Maxi Gomez is available for 12 million Euros. Mitrovic style striker. Would suit the more direct style in the Prem. Scored a decent amount in Spain when playing for Celta Vigo as they were more direct with crosses into the box. Hasn't quite been the same type of service for him at Valencia. Linked last December, and been mentioned again more recently. Solid to potentially really good low cost option that should still allow us to do our other business if Callum Wilson is injured.

They will get an idea from first glance, but it will need thorough analysis. I was a cath lab nurse and could look at someone's arteries and say if they were fucked or not. The doctor would then need to sit down and measure shit, do a few calculations and say how fucked they were and how to fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Pretty much. They will know all this info within 1h of the scan though. NHS you'll have to wait a looot longer.

Deuce Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Andy said: Would imagine we're downplaying his injury so clubs don't try to ramp up transfer fees on strikers even more than they already are. I don't think the extent of it will be revealed until we've got somebody in. “Wilson leg amputated below the knee.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been positive as fuck all through the summer, but to be in this situation by the end of August is crazy really. Thinking we can rely on Wilson will shoot us in the foot. I think you’ve misunderstood my post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 They’ll be able to see the scan almost as it’s happening and will have discussed the results before he left I’d imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlynnherrington Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Even before becoming our manager Eddie must have known we needed another quality striker.Wood isn’t and never will be that person so we can only hope he has a few irons in the fire and the signing of a good striker is imminent.

Geordiebri Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Is it not out of turn to suggest that it is negligent to be in this position knowing the fragility of Wilson & how Shit Woods is? We need a striker & Pedro isn't the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 i think the woods signing irks me more now that we're a FFP poverty case didn't give af throwing 25m to get him cause fully expected he'd be 3rd choice or whatever and we'd never really see him again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 We’re not in FFP (or P+S) poverty. FFP rules are incredibly lax (and enforcement even more lax) and we have huge room to manoeuvre given the relative lack of outlay in the past few years. Everton spent £35m on a midfielder a couple of weeks ago and no one batted an eyelid, despite their insane level of spending in previous seasons. FFP is a comforting smokescreen; the idea that we’re the one club in history uniquely limited by it is absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It was matter of time before he got injured, but 2 and a half games man If we don't sign the players that we knew we needed since last season ended we deserve everything we get. 8(?) days to sort it.
