Why would he go for a player who didn't convincingly pass his medical?

He did pass his medical from reports I’ve seen. It was concerns over his knee not that it was ruined.

Concerns over his knee means he didn't pass his medical convincingly, else, why didn't we sign him?

You can pass a medical. Be 100% fit at this moment in time. But from what I read there was some concern over the knee not that it was broken. So he passed his medical unless you want to be picky?

You don't pass a medical to check if you are fit but rather to see if you have a problem that increases your risks of getting injured. A number of players passed their medical while being unfit to play as they were recovering from an injury. It's not being picky but what you check when you pass a medical. It's not like a medical check up.

I can understand in a way that we've backed off due to concerns over whether his knee injury could flare up again, but on the other hand any player at any given time could suffer the same injury and judging by the season he's just had it doesn't looked like it's effected his form.

He looks like a brilliant player. But it is a risk for the money shelled out. It's a 90m deal I think over 5 years if you take in the fee and the wages. Imagine him doing a Sturridge and being let go on a free after 5 years. Been there done that with Sturridge, Aquilani and probably some more.

I think it would be wise to look elsewhere for an alternative of a similar level but if that don't work out do we take the risk?

Nah. Spend the money on another area of the team. Get his position filled when a player good enough pops up.

I'd be inclined to take the risk as it's not my money.
