I don’t care what anyone says he was a fantastic signing.

I don’t care what anyone says he was a fantastic signing.

His presence in the dressing room and running off the ball was instrumental to 55.

 

[CENTURISAR]

Good luck to the lad now and hope he kicks on.

100%, we actually owe this guy.

 

[Smkz23]

100%.

Can you imagine the furore up here about big bad Rangers playing a guy with a known heart condition who has a cardiac arrest during a game? We’d be slaughtered by all and sundry.

Nothing to do with being up here, any club in that situation would get heavy grief for that.

Good luck to him.

 

[Blue114]

Good luck to the boy , but we sure have bad luck when we’ve signed players over the years , there’s been a few..

 

[EddiBrock]

Good for him

Best of luck

 

[RSEA]

Well fan my Brow with a month old kipper

 

[Helstead]

Hes still young enough to have a decent career, hopefully hes fully got over the health issues.

 

[Spiderman]

Good luck to him but I hope he isn’t going against medical advice.

 

[waldo 1160]

Did he not bad mouth the club recently.

That’s my recollection, rather the lad played somewhere else and is ok. You can’t take chances on these things….”I’m fit” …”no you have a heart condition “ no win situation.

 

[eastenclosurebear]

Good luck to the guy.

Must have been frustrating for him. One set of Dr's saying he can play and other Dr's saying he can't. However the Dr's saying he can't had more influence with the club.

I think we made the correct choice, it was too risky.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

What could’ve been looked a promising signing!

 

[mr magoo loyal]

He had three medicals the season before he joined us and not one flagged the issue, he had one in pre season at Bournemouth, Wycombe before joining them and one for signing with us.

We tested him again come the summer and the issue came up, our medical department saved him.

Which suggests most medicals aren't of sufficient quality to identify an issue like this. In terms of saving him, he is playing again without having any major surgery so not sure what we saved him from.

 

[mr magoo loyal]

What absolute mince. Italy has the stringest medical regarding heart testing, yet Christian Eriksen managed to pass medicals to sign for Ajax, Spurs and Inter before his heart attack.
It is possible to have an undisclosed condition which medicals miss. Oboforh only had a problem during pre season training, and our medical team took the ultra cautious approach to his fitness. As previous poster said, can you imagine the hysteria if we let him play and he had an incident.
Good luck to the boy

The reason the issue only showed up in preseason is exactly the point i'm making that current medicals are not good enough.

These heart issues only show up when put under game type conditions there is extensive research on this so that would need to change.

Nobody wants to see a player hit the deck like that and I hope he can kick start his career, but he did post some strange comments about his treatment here so more to the story than we know.

 

[BucksBear]

good luck to the lad. This is his livelihood he is trying to rebuild

That's really all that has to be said.

The same fate that Eriksen, Muamba, Maher, Foe is what he was saved from. He’s lucky he’s been able to return like a few others like Eriksen and Blind not many are.

Regarding the quality of testing, I’ve got a heart condition and one in 4 appointments with my cardiologist and they can’t spot the issue, so it is easy to miss depending on the issue.
