robzilla Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Playing as PSV, I made an offer for a player from Barcelona that I liked the look of. Barca reject my first offer but after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing we agreed on a price. I then offered the player a contract which he accepted. However between me offering the contract, and the player accepting, he got injured. His transfer was subseqently cancelled because he failed his medical. OK I understand he's injured so failed his medical, so transfer can't complete, fair enough. There was only two weeks to go until the end of the transfer window and the player's injury would keep him out for at least six weeks so I looked at other targets instead. Then Real Madrid made an offer for the player. Waste of time I thought, as they won't be able to sign him because he's inujred. Sure enough, Barca accepted their offer, the player accepted their contract but the move was cancelled because the player failed his medical. Then, with a week to go until the end of the window. Real Madrid made another offer, which Barca accepted. The player accepted Real's contract but this time the move was not cancelled and he has joined Real, despite still being injured. I am a little annoyed by this. So what I'm wondering is why are Real allowed to sign injured players but I'm not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I think you can sign injured players if they're out for less than a certain period, a month maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 I think you can sign injured players if they're out for less than a certain period, a month maybe? Maybe that's it. His injury status now says he will be out for 3-4 weeks, but when I tried to sign him it was 5-6 weeks. So maybe that's why Real could sign him?

williamshankley Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Perhaps after the transfer got cancelled. Real Madrid went back with an installments offer. Or perhaps money after a certain amount of appearances. I only say this because I remember signing a certain England striker whose become quite injury prone in the same manner.

Stevicus Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I usually find you can sign a player when he has the orange injury status, he will fail his medical on red injury status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 I usually find you can sign a player when he has the orange injury status, he will fail his medical on red injury status. I though that at first but he still had the red injury status even after Real signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I though that at first but he still had the red injury status even after Real signed him. Hmmmmm, i guess it depends on the type of injury, wether it is major or minor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, this depends on type/length of injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spurz123 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Why can't we go and sign them anyway though, based on how good he will be once he has recovered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crpls Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd imagine it's pretty standard practice to not sign players to contracts if they fail the medical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
