Interesting article on Savin in the sun today
Failed medical ends United transfer pursuit
Manchester United would have signed goalkeepet Toby Savin if it wasn't for two failed medicals, according to reports.
The Sun claims that the 23-year-old was targeted by United as the main target to become third choice, he played for Accrington Stanley last season. But a transfer in January fell through after he failed a medical.
It is now claimed that United again moved to sign the player on a free transfer this summer, but he again failed a medical.
Savin has since signed for Shrewsbury Town. After confirming the transfer, manager Paul Hurst confirmed that there was interest in the goalkeeper.

Hopefully we've not signed a dud. |

I have a bad feeling he’s got a pretty bad recurring injury if he failed two medicals that United couldn’t overlook even for a third choice keeper.
I also have a bad feeling with the seemingly desperate state we are in we saw an opportunity to gamble on someone most clubs would pass up on for medical reasons, as with all gambles this could blow up in our face, just hope we sign a good number two.
Of course gambles can pay off and we could’ve just signed a good up and coming young keeper… but things aren’t looking great.

It's his back that's the issue I think?
He's clearly not the no.1 choice surely.

Interesting. Fingers crossed he can make a solid recovery and become a total class-act keeper just like Dean Henderson was for us. We all wish you the very best Mr Savin 💪

this was the kind of gamble the previous manager made more than once and came unstuck big time for a lot more money
the previous manager however faked the medicals (David Brent) Ricky Gervais style to get them through
lets hope this is currently newspaper talk and things are all cosher

What would be the difference between a medical at Man Utd vs one at Shrewsbury Town?
I assume there is some sort of waiver given that he's signed here?

Didn’t the physio fudge JLL through a medical because Hurst just wanted him in the building for team morale?

Paul Hurst claims there’s nothing untoward or unknown about him at the moment and I’m inclined to trust him at this point. But the coming weeks and months will reveal if he was worth the contract or not.

Man U must have thought highly of him. But why would they take any risk given their resources?

Interesting to note, that Savin has likely been signed injured yet they won't take the risk on Price (I'm not saying its the wrong/right decision).
Will they bend the rules for Jon Nolan.
George Nurse got a new contract whilst recovering from injury Aaron Pierre too as well possibly.

I was thinking the same thing! Perhaps suggests attitude isn’t quite right with Price which surprises me.

That worked well. |

George Nurse got a new contract whilst recovering from injury Aaron Pierre too as well possibly. Wouldn't be surprised if its primarily down to money. Savin, Nurse & Pierre would have been in less of a position to command high (for us) wages. Pierre was without a club when he joined us, and his deal was extended after another injury; Nurse has had two back-to-back knee injuries, and Savin has publicly failed major medicals. Combine that with where they are in their careers, and I'm not too surprised. Yes Price has had a major injury, but he's got far more pedigree than those 3 players. Given our budget restrictions, Hurst's desire for a smaller squad (meaning players will need to be fit to play 40+ matches a season), and Price not being able to get fully fit after several months with the club, this outcome isn't too surprising |

Think my big take away from this all is that we need a second choice keeper who will be able to step up into League One football.
More a 1.5 than a clear number 2.
Can't afford to be relying on Savin to be number 1, with a back up who's not good enough - and has no experience - of EFL football

Very likely his competition will be one of the trialists who played on Saturday. Both will no doubt get another 45 mins each tomorrow to stake their cases. |

Your likely correct, just speculating, we don’t know for a fact what the plan is / was the story may change 😉 |

Phisyo advised club and hurst NOT to go ahead with signing…It’s a gamble but probably a calculated risk…..although you would question the point of a medical if your going to override the recommendations anyway

We have an experienced and professional set up in place throughout our management structure. If they deem Toby is a good punt based on whatever terms they have negotiated who am I to question it. Lots of experience, they know what they are doing. Sensible from our physio though, there are doubts and he's hardly likely to pass him A1 if Man U have failed him

Wasn't Grant holt injured a long term before signing for us? |

George Nurse got a new contract whilst recovering from injury Aaron Pierre too as well possibly. That's surely an easy one to answer. Savin accepted our, no doubt, pretty low offer. Price apparently didn't want to accept the terms he was offered which would I expect be much more in monetary terms.
Shrewsbury Town, and probably most decent clubs, don't ditch one of our own who is injured when their contract runs out, they offer them something. Didn't we do the same for Udoh?
