If I had to guess, I'd say that the Harry Wilson deal won't happen. As of 5pm he's still in Cardiff with no clearance from Fulham to travel. No idea how long it'd take to fly to Leeds, travel to Thorpe Arch and undertake a medical but I doubt you can do all that in under 2 hours. #LUFC

I doubt it was ever happening. Just some BS put out in an effort to make it look like they hadn’t completely run out of options and fucked up the window.

Well, we’ve got what we’ve got and that’s it. Farke will have to make the best of it, though it really seems that for the third time he’s been fucked over by his club not giving him the materials he needs to work with.

Later medical with passing it being a condition of the contract

Don't think that works - the player registration has to be transferred in the window. If he fails the medical I don't think it can revert and he'd be left in limbo. Could well be wrong about this, but I think that's how it works.

You can do the medical after the deal sheet is in. Gamble though.

I know there's the deal sheets option that means you can go past the deadline but can you do that prior to a medical? Should you?

There is time... just. With a deal sheet. If that plane gets in the air sharpish. The flight time is 45 minutes. How long to get from Yeadon to Thorp Arch?

41 minutes, according to Google. Add 15 mins or so to get into the car either end and they've got a window of 10 minutes for a medical if the plane takes off now. Which it isn't.

15mins to get in and out of a car...that should be an immediate medical fail 🤣

In fact, should have checked that on JKA and Weston McFatty

I reckon Beren or Graham will say it's off in the near future then

Unless theyve somehow been using this time in Cardiff to do it? Not even sure how that would happen but... maybe? Its starting to look very unlikely I would suggest

Presumably, he'd have a medical in Cardiff.

Welsh medicals aren't legal tender in England

It's "The law of England and Wales". You must be thinking of Scotland with their weird Roman based legal system.

A relation is a pathologist in Cardiff. If Wilson dies during the medical he can do the post mortem.

Given the speed they'd have to perform the medical there is a real danger of this happening. Good to have the option there I say.

He isn’t worth the effort we have better players in the under 21 team

Someone should tell the club who these u21s are if they're better than a regular PL and international starter 🤣

Is he as good as Harry Gray 😜 Seriously though he's 16. He needs to be handled properly.

Well it was a pretty weird response 🤷🏼‍♂️ I obviously think we should prioritise Grays development and expose him to the first team environment but that doesn't mean we should decide a 16yo should be chucked into a relegation fight rather than signing experienced players (if we can)
