Zouma Failed Medical

Not really a surprise is it. Can't bend his legs. I can't imagine it was a very long medical.

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

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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.

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

Agreed. I've said I wouldn't be against Zouma staying, primarily because he is still better than the aforementioned disasters.

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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.

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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....

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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! :-(.

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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 ;)

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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.

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

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

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.

couldn't they stick a ringer in for the medical

Re: Zouma Failed Medical

He runs like he's on stilts.

Not surprised in the least that he failed the medical.
