Pinhead Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I am confused, it was Archie who signed crocks??? Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 You would have thought that instead of having him fly over here, you would have thought the medical could have been done in Australia under some fifa supervision.  If he does fail, who pays his travel costs ?

Medical found bruising around his knee and due to him suffering a previous ACL Thistle want his scans inspected by experts in Glasgow looks like Caldwell is trying to sign every crock going de vita Alex Jones    Really? By holding up the deal to have experts have a close look at a possible problem?? Edit: I see someone beat me to that.

javeajag Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Imagine having a medical before signing a player .....only Thistle would do that ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have someone fly for 24 hours, wait another 48 before undergoing a medical, only for a deal not to be done ? I am not saying this deal won’t be done - just suggesting there must be a better way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it invalidates insurance but yes, it does seem rather crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Sounds like a case of no story here. Boy feels fine and fit to travel with an intention of a new job and a contract in Glasgow when he gets there. Took a knock in his last game and club are doing due diligence (as you would expect) to be certain they are getting what they will be paying for. Â His past injury is known and the club are relying on their own experts and advisers before moving forward (or not). Normal course of events, nothing to see here... Â Expect an announcement when the experts have their opinion. Â Hope he's a raging success and we've found a real cracker here.

Dick Dastardly Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think that LIB is closer to the truth. The medical is not about whether they are fit or not, more about whether the club can get insurance on their investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not listened again to the spoken interview on JagZone to check (listening once is torture enough), but my recollection of Caldwell's comments on Austin is much more positive. It seemed to be a matter of checking out some details of past injuries, but with an expectation of saying "Yes" rather than "No".  The "nothing is particularly close" comment came after that and I took it as "nothing else (ie apart from Austin) is particularly close". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Austin has passed his MoT.  More pace about the side, which has to be seen as a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Blows Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Anyone any idea what's happening with Austin?Not a mention of him for weeks. Is he still at the club? Do we need him now we have Zanatta? His twitter says he's in Glasgow but no acknowledgement that he even plays for us. He follows the official account and Joe Cardle but no-one else. I can only assume he's injured?Anyone spotted him at training maybe? Mitch, if you're reading this can you send us a sign? Maybe a coded message via a Fifa 20 screenshot on Twitter?
