So if he has failed two medicals as rumoured on here how does any club cover themselves against future injuries if they take a risk in signing him?

You certainly wouldn't risk paying a fee?

However good a player , I doubt that the club could afford to take him on unless medical / insurance assurances were put in place in advance.

He's out of contract so wouldn't involve a fee. If he has failed a medical I guess why he's failed it is pretty important but I bet somebody will take a gamble. Don't think it will be us though.

Would we want to pay big monies for a player who was deemed not fit enough medically by two other clubs, his he really that good to take such a risk.
Would it be Liam Hearn a hundred times more?

I agree and I hope, on that basis, that it isn't us.

I wouldn't count him out due to failing medicals elsewhere. There are lots of examples of players failing medicals and going on to make successful careers (John Hartson, Ruud van Nistlerooy, Leroy Fer, Demba Ba, George Boyd - yes I did search google for the names), it all depends on what they have failed for. Plymouth have made him an offer (from what I have read) but he has turned them down. I can't see the injury issue being that bad if they have offered him a new contract. I would guess (and it only a guess) that they have offered him lessor terms than before due to a lack of game time (mainly caused by previous injuries) and as a footballer with an ego (which I think we all agree the majority of them have) he does not want to be seen by others as the club as the bloke who took lower wages. Could look a bit desperate and not help his image around the club.

With that in mind he may well be prepared to move to another club on the same wages that Plymouth have offered or even a bit less just to save face.

Could be completely wrong of course (often am) but still think he could be a good option with what seems like a decent scoring record over the years.

Did he fail the medical or fail to agree terms. I'd never believe what every club releases to the press!

What medical information is that?

I can only see that Reid may have failed a medical elsewhere ( Bristol Rovers?) no proof, just a wild rumour as far as I can see.

Still good to see Shaun Pearson do so well for Barnsley last season
