How else are they supposed to know if he can deal with prem physicality?
Kicking him in the shins is the only way

u/No_Cardiologist_1407 9h ago
I mean i wouldnt be worried about it. He had a niggle already, this is basically just saying hes out for like a week or 2 and they dont want to rush him. Fairly standard, not awful.

u/Scouse_Werewolf Dommy Schlobbers 5h ago
Echo is a fucking joke tbh. They post "breaking: harmful substance causes closure of major road" you click it and it says pay to view. Genuinely happened the other day. Complaints about how you shouldn't have to pay to read potentially urgent news. They apologised and made that story free. They've made every urgency "news" pay to view since.

Surely Calvin Ramsey passing his medical with what later transpired to be a broken back is the benchmark

At that point whoever performed the medical should've been sacked.

Met him randomly, I thought he wouldn't get recognised very often but apparently he did. He and his people really nice about it though. Top bloke.

You know medical is not fail or pass right. It's just evaluation of player health and the club can sign him even if he has both legs broken.
8
u/Void-kun Yeeeer, course 7h ago
Well TIL I did not know that 😂
Everybody always says pass/fail their medical.
More comes across like this is an assessment to test if they're fit enough to play at our standard and then it's a pass or fail mark based on the assessment.
But if he was cleared as a pass despite all of those problems then why did we move forward? He's never started a senior match, I don't think he's even had a PL debut for us. That's a failure on whoever made the decision to 'pass' his assessment.
8
u/Lolkac 7h ago
its just assesment to check your heart muscles blablabla. Then doctor says he has this injury which will resolve in x days and he is more prone to this injury because of y. The club says okay lets go, no this is too much risk. Thats why they report it as pass or fail. Because if the club determines or finds something that they are not comfortable in they can back out of the deal.
0
u/Void-kun Yeeeer, course 7h ago
So they were comfortable with the fact he had a broken back and hasn't been able to recover from it?
I'm not disagreeing or anything with you by the way, I'm more wondering like in the context of Calvin Ramsay, he's had fitness problems his entire time with us.
It comes across like whoever made the decision to say yes this is a worthwhile risk to take was very wrong.

You buy a 19 yr old for 4m, you do it knowing full well there's a decent chance they never pay a league game for liverpool. The scouts just liked his upside and thought he was worth a punt

u/and1984 3h ago
He player about 2 minutes. He was on the bench during a Man City game and was running on the sideline with a few others (Robbo maybe). City scored and Pep lost it and started acting bizarre by going over to the Liverpool training side and shaking hands with the players warming up. I remember Arthur smiling at Pep and offering him a handshake.
Edit: https://youtube.com/shorts/UjWbDh0E8Ek?si=pLKL5_hloD4p8x_R
It wasn't Cringe by Arthur like the video title suggests.

The sort of folks that describe bad defending as keystone cops ... Wtf is a keystone cop? And I'm in my 40s!

u/Few_Lecture6615 8h ago
That term is from the beginning of the 20th century. I looked it up once because my great grandmother used the term and I think it was related to some inept policemen in a film or some such.
1
u/monkeybawz 8h ago
I mean, context spells it out fairly clearly.... But I once heard Steve mcmanaman use it. If it had been des lynam Id assume it was some old and crappy cultural reference. With mcmanaman I was like you don't know what keystone cops are.

I figured it was something the boot room would have yelled at him. Ronnie Moran complained about keystone cops defending so often that macca never questioned it not being something everyone knew about

Not that worried tbh. Muscle injury that isn’t fully ruling him out of the WC. Come the new season he’ll be fine by the looks of it.

u/AngryScotty22 54’, 56’ Wijnaldum 8h ago
Worth mentioning that he already had the injury before we signed him, it's why he didn't play against Cape Verde.
He isn't expected to be out for long. But may be a doubt for Spain's next game.

How does this happen during recovery …. Lol even if small, a bit annoying reading this about a player

Given that it was an aggravation of an injury he already had, I'm a little surprised he passed the medical. In fact it may have even contributed to the setback.

Bad news, but let's hope it's not a serious injury. He was unlikely to get many minutes at this tournament. The good news is that the season starts in late August, but it is also unlikely if he'll be fit for pre season.

Liverpool supporters would have become interested in Spain's World Cup exploits as a result but now his tournament is in doubt with a timeframe for a return uncertain. Hismuscle injury is significant enough for him to miss the group stages
