What was the desperation in Man City signing a player yesterday, they signed a player without a medical.....?

Question

...and got in touch with Madrid just hours before the close of the transfer window. What's with all the rush. Do players not require medicals these days. It seems very naive & a kind of rush of blood to their heads, the way they purchased him ?

Answer 1

He dont need a medical because if you are in a different country and the club doesnt want to at such short notice they dont have to. As a real madrid fan i dont care that robinho left because he's only good 1 in every 5 games.

Answer 2

Considering he's been benched and he's been training do you feel he needs a medical, I cant wait for the the blue half of Manchester to start playing constructive fast flowing football.

the top four

not any more

it's no funny

we've got the most money

and any one of your players we can get through our door

Answer 3

if robhino was outside parkhead id kidnap the fool,medical or not,he ll be glad gravessons out of british football after the hiding he got in Madrid,so much money some clubs they probably want care hes injured,wrong section no bother,sorry about the scummy answers,interesting Q  

Answer 4

with that kind of money changing hands i don;'t even think they thought about a medical...i always thought it was compulsory to have  a medical....

Answer 5

yes so f**k off

Answer 6

Robinho needed out of madrid and they came sniffing with little time to spare. I thought they required medicals too but with that kind of money....

Answer 7

It's probably naive and a bit like a child with a new toy, but there was the transfer deadline to take into consideration too. And they're talking about getting Cristiano Ronaldo in January!  

Answer 8

they only got funds confirmed just before window shut, and as mentioned before, they wanted to make a statement.  

Answer 9

i thought the same myself, i think the new owners were intent on making a statement. which wether you agree with or not they certainly did.

Answer 10

he had a really short medical just basicly checked his health

Answer 11

32 big fcukin desperado's that kind of money,,if the Ger's payed that type of money out i would have a rush of blood to my big flexible bit for the rest of the year

Answer 12

coz chelsea were sniffing around

Answer 13

With all  the comings and goings yesterday i did read somewhere on the yahoo

sports that City had got him on loan until he'd passed a medical.

Surely  that makes sense
