Loic Remy

Nothing to do with his knee from what I am being told. . The 4 medicals he had failed have been to do with his heart

Twitter ITKs have been going on about his knee. They might be right or they may well have confused him with Demba Ba.

 

[dantes]

Its probably an excuse to back out after failing to sell Borini.

Lots incorrectly pointing to Remy's knee. Not the case. He's had issues with medicals before due to a heart problem.

Shades of Frank Worthington.

I feel like this is the result of negative karma accumulated from shite puns based on his name

Nah, just down to bad Loic.

 

[darkstarexodus]

In the hole, you say?

 

[darkstarexodus]

Gutted a bit actually. I dont think we were going to make a marquee striking purchase and I thought he was going to be a decent buy overall.

Welcome to @LayneVedder.

I'm also a bit disappointed about the deal falling through. Presumed he was ours. It's like chatting to a girl you fancy for an hour before finding out she has a boyfriend. Well that was a waste of time.

 

[keniget]

Surely they already knew he had issues given that he's failed medicals before?

How does it get so far without them being prepared to take a chance on him?

Very very odd.

Borini had better not be his replacement (on account of him not being very good, ya'know).

 

[jexykrodic]

Shame for the lad as well. Not only is his move up thwarted but he's also suffered a bit of reputational damage and it's going to be a brave club who'll take him on, on anything but a per game basis.

 

[Hansern]

A bit gutted as I think he'd be a good signing.
You can understand the club not going through with it if a heart specialist advices against it.
Will be interesting to see if Everton or Spurs take a chance on him.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Llanna has some issue with his heart too

 

[LayneVedder]

Welcome to @LayneVedder.

Cheers to everyone for the warm welcomes!

As said above, however much of a blow it is for us, it's huge for the player. Especially given the fact that he will probably work out more expensive for anyone outside the top four with that clause in the contract.

Will Origi go back to Lille on loan now or will the Remy deal falling through impact that decision in any way?

Llanna has some issue with his heart too

At the age of 17, Lallana suffered a heart scare when a training monitor picked up an irregular beat. It showed his resting heart rate could surge to 230 beats a minute. He could not play until he underwent successful keyhole surgery.

“There was a small chance that things wouldn’t go according to plan,” said Lallana. “But I was young and part of me didn’t really understand what might have happened. I had a good family around me, a good group of friends who helped me through it. It was just frustrating I couldn’t play.

"I felt fine, but I had this irregular heart beat that stopped me playing for a bit. I underwent a minor operation that corrected everything and I’ve not looked back since.

“I’ve had regular check-ups since and everything’s absolutely fine. I’m very thankful every session gets looked at and analysed, the heart-rates get looked at every day and all the data is assessed.”

He'd have hit 15-20 goals for us next season. Bitterly disappointed. Such a shame.

Already agreed with Lille i think

Feel for Remy. Was about to get the nr 7 shirt aswell, which actually felt a bit meh though..

Presumably after Muamba the insurance has demanded tighter testing about these things, but as has been said it's a bit odd he's got through recent transfers.

It's more like getting her home and realising she has a false leg.

Poor McCartney.

Poor McCartney.

That worked out well for him.

Could it be that he's cleared to play but the insurance wont cover anything if something heart related happens?

Did you know they had a big falling out when Macca bought Heather a prosthetic leg for Christmas as a stocking filler

 

[cloggypop]

The like is purely because at least it is not a shit pun.

 

[Fabio]

If it's a hole in the heart as rumoured, then that's fair enough. While managable, it can have bad side affects. Like a stroke.

 

[Whirly]

This is where we follow up by offering QPR 4M due to the health concerns, and low ball on wages.

So we didn't know about the other 3 failed medicals before then ? WTF ?

£8.5m ... just double your insurance FFS, I'm sure we'll still have saved plenty over the £20m deal to replace him.

 

[Frogfish]

I'm gutted to be honest. He was ticking a lot of boxes.

 

[gkmacca]

That's the problem - his ticker.
