He's already agreed terms, but, there are concerns over medicals, so it may take time to conclude, again!

He has failed 2 medicals in the past and has played very few minutes in past 3 years
Ideal fit for Leeds then!

Failing a medical and not playing minutes aren't indicators of poor fitness or quality. Sometimes players throw a sicky, in a professional way, if they disagree with the direction of a club (management) but don't want to lose their very well paying and cushy job.

I think the recruitment team are more interested in players with the right psychology over physiology.

Perfect example is Solomon. Was hurt at the start of the season when Rama was starter, Never had an injury again until he returned to spurs.

Completed a full 90 mins of football 11 times in last 4 seasons ?, absolute madness

, Whomever has targeted this lad should be tick tacked.

Maybe he injury prone, and that's a risk, but realistically as a newly promoted club we are only looking at 3 types of player - bang average bottom of prem/ top of champ types, players from two bit leagues unproven at a decent level that might be special or might not or players who have played at a decent level and look quality but have suspect injury records and might break down. I don't fancy bang average.

We need a magician like a young Frank Strandli to get us all cooing again. A magnificent set of locks and had the feet of anton du Beke but the end product of a prime Ron Jeremy.
