Wrong section, and people fail there medicals all the time. You see there's this strange thing that happens in the world of football where players get injured, strange I know, but it does happen.
To be fair though, Downing signed for Villa while injured.. So why can't we sign injured players? Unless the injury is really bad? Which I doubt Kompany's is.. Does anyone know the answer?
Steve Finnan didn't move to Hull last season because he failed his medical, happens all the time in the modern game, Villa took a big risk with Downing. Marlon King failed his medical at Fulham and on FM09, Stephen Appiah couldn't sign for you straight away as he would fail his medical due to a virus.
It is most annoying when they are injured the whole transfer window though and transfer listed, once they get fit again, they could be off the transfer list which is rather fustrating
