It doesn't really matter now, but from reading around it struck me he sounded alot like Ashley Barnes, operating in the space behind the forwards, winning possession, holding up and offering a threat aerially in the penalty box. Very much a plan B kind of guy.

Yep and we don't need a plan B , we need to be better at plan A. I don't really believe this, just can't help myself once plan B is mentioned.

Seems like a tough but sensible decision.  I feel really sorry for the player, getting your head around moving countries is a big deal, and for it to be cancelled as the buyers didn't want to take the risk that your body won't stand up for the length of the contract is going to be difficult to deal with

So just be clear. Some anonymous poster who mostly talks cobblers , talks cobblers and it proves to be cobblers . 
But it takes up 4 pages . 
 

I know what you're getting at here GPB but aren't we ALL somewhat anonymous on here?! I mean I don't know who most of the posters are.

For example... I am quite sure you're not a former player's beard. 

Some of these posters could be close personal friends and I come on here and give them loads of sh1te without realising! 🤣

[BobLoz3 621]

Oh and it wasn't anything to do with attitude. Or, at least, that isn't what is reported. I mean, I appreciate that they wouldn't out a player for being a pr1ck. 

They said they found an issue with one of his knees. Didn't fail the medical but it was considered too much of a risk.

I'm not sure why anyone is worrying about this and wasting their time commenting. 

Apparently all he did was visit Colney for a look around, maybe the club now offer this as a school holiday special, so I must ring them to see how I can get booked on the next tour.

Do you think I'll get a lanyard and some freebies, would love to try the new pool out so will take my canary smugglers 😆

Didn't Paul Lambert do similar?

We all but signed a player, had him at Colney to do the medical etc, Lambert didn't like his attitude and pulled the plug.

Can't remember the name of the player now but I'm sure he was from Mallorca, a striker and the fee was £2.2m (yes my neurodivergent brain remembers the random tiny details and forgets the important ones)

i know the left back we signed on loan a few seasons ago i forget his name now foreign guy ,

 he was all set for a permanent deal , agreed fee , agreed wages , looked at ground and training facilities seemed really happy Agent was happy etc 15 mins before he was due to sign he changed his mind on permanent would only sign on loan  instead

Wasn't that the big Dutch guy, was it Dijks or something similar?

He is probably a raging carnivore and clocked the Colney veggie patch and thought 'Nah, club's not for me'.....

Didn't Tettey sign with no knees but they overlooked it?

Now plays in the yellow and green again for Fortuna Sittard, who have got him at left back and Ivo Pinto at right back!

Pretty sure he had knees, Vince. 

[Crafty Canary 556]

So our strike force is Sarge and injury prone Barnes. Hope the midfield and wide players step up.

Don't forget Onel...

We'll never know.

There are people on X claiming that he had a medical as the know the person who did it, there are people on X claiming that all the photo's in kit were done and there are people on X who claim he just came for a tour of the ground.

What that tells me is that there isn't anyone on here or X who actually know anything for certain.

X isnt a bad platform and isnt the problem. You just need to follow the non-numpties on there to get insight.

Isn’t Sarge injury prone too? Maybe now Aboh won’t go out on loan
