Sounds like we're trying to save a few quid if he's out for a while...with the back being Zirkzee *shudder*

Just sign him anyway.

Feels a bit like Leeroy Fer this.
The weird irony is that I was just thinking about this transfer earlier today and thought it had been a while since we had a player fail their medical on deadline day.

The report has gone to Everton's medical team & the club now want to renegotiate with Monaco for a lower fee due to something that has come up on the medical.

Everton.
Presumably Monaco must want to sell as well, so I'd say this is a good thing for us (as long as he doesn't get crocked later on)

Me too.

Didn’t he also buy a horse for his girlfriend who lived in a block of flats and didn’t sort out a stable?

Be some fume if we sign him and he's out by Christmas. Also if we do sign him and want to move him on at a later date this will affect any future transfer fee.

Yeah definitely either it's true or we are trying it on

Pull out tell the fans complications with the medical , Monaco say he's fit , perfect collapse senario

I mean the dude has seemingly missed pre-season with I think was maybe a muscle tear/injury in the World Cup. Seems like he played through the injury at the World Cup which may have made things worse I guess. So on some level this does make sense. Whether it's enough to cancel everything is another matter.

Monaco were "easing him back" currently.

Myers says we are trying to renegotiate terms we are looking so unprofessional at the moment

Well if we scouted him properly that should have been picked up.

Talk of Monaco offering us Lamine Camara instead, as they need a sale.

I mean we'll just have to wait and see. If there are rumours we're trying to renegotiate then that would suggest whatever has come up isn't that bad. I'm sure all three parties will still want to make the deal happen.

Camara to Chelsea suggests Balogun is dead - can't see them selling both.
