So if they fail the club medical, the player can’t be fully insured, thus putting bigger risk on the club, meaning the club will be reluctant and may refuse to sign you. I’d call that a fail.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

You're wrong.
Don't know about Keita but Fekir is. The best player in Lyon since probably 3 years and one of The best players in the league.
He can easily be compared to Tolisso, Martial or B. Silva, a very talented player who will be directly useful for any team. He just had that knees' issues so his development has been retarted.
I heard that Bayern and Atletico were really interested by him but he is definitely too expansive for Bayern.
I'm not sure MU is actually an example of good deals. Barca, City and RM have already a lot of players so that's not a surprise if they are not trying to have Fekir. Plus, his type of play is too particular, he is better in a 442 as n10 or 9,5. So he can't enter in any team.
But seems you don't see them play, I guess you will just have to wait before saying that the hype is ridiculous.
He's failed the medical and they're wondering what the feck they're going to do about it.
It's obvious.
They'll back out of it, won't risk the millions of pounds in wages and fee.

Nah it’ll be confirmed tomorrow.
He failed the medical. That's what I was told (not twitter shite either).
Whether Liverpool go through with it is up to them though so you could be right. But I'd be surprised.
If he has failed the medical, or something untoward has been picked up by the Liverpool Football Club™ medical team, I can't see them giving the transfer the green light, especially as the £50m-ish fee is probably the vast majority of their remaining budget this summer. It would be a seismic gamble on Klopp's part and I don't imagine FSG are the type of board who'd sanction such a gamble, either.
Probably. Your medical team can't even diagnose a concussion, no way they've nailed Fekir.
so many itk's on here nowadays. @Rado_N will be pleased
Remember what Jose did the last time someone failed a medical at Liverpool...
Transfer medicals are basically risk evaluation, you don't really fail it, it's just that if there is a risk for example arthritis, the club depending on context will make a judgement call, it's not the actual medical that you fail but the club will have a positive or negative projection. Now, in France in Rugby, players have to go to the "Work doctor" with him, you can fail and he will reap your license but that's a different event.
This is going to be off, another Loic Remy situation and he was French.
I posted it on here about 4 oclock. I know there were twitter rumours before then but I was told seperate from then.
And now all the journalists are saying "they have concerns"
Believe what you want
The clubs set criteria so techincally there will be a pass or fail line or a certain "fail" red zones. But you are right in the fact that it's simply opinion based and the club makes a decision.
Which is why clubs can hesitate and think twice because it's a fluid notion. Club can and have signed injured players or players with recurring injuries, also they pass medicals every year when they comeback from holidays, even injured players. Also people remember that Rémy "failed" a medical with Liverpool.
If he’s failed a medical why has the club done an interview with him for LFCTV?
link?
So is he a Nobbled Fekir or what?
I have no idea why he's done an interview for LFC TV. As I said he may still sign, it's up to Liverpool (I genuinley have no idea on that front), all I know is he did "fail" his medical. There were problems with it.
Why has he not been confirmed as signed yet then?
I don't know how legit it is but.

I do wonder. How does he fail a medical when hes been fit and playing for a couple of years but someone like Hargreaves or Falcao so shortly after his ACL surgery passed out medicals?
Ramos probably.
I'm trying to stay away from the football forums.
Are they blaming Ramos yet?
On the one hand we had Fabinho and on the other....this 
I think @Pexbo summed up the situation well in the transfer thread as the most likely scenario.
I am, the dick.
You clearly didn’t get the memo mate. Next year is our year, la.
The bookies aren't 100% but they make their money because they are usually correct.

Liverpool fans don’t actually say that anymore and haven’t for years.
I hear rival fans say it all the time.
Yeah. They've moved on to "we go again"
I think the keeper part is definitely going to happen, but it wouldn't shock me if Klopp/Liverpool are fooled by Lovren playing well enough for a spell and don't invest the necessary money in a CB this summer and it costs them like the keeper position ultimately did in the CL final.
Do Liverpool fans expect a CB signing or nah?
Sometimes it's other things, that aren't always apparent like an ACL. Could be a cardiovascular thing that has otherwise gone unnoticed for example.
feck knows what's going on with this transfer.
If he has failed a medical, I'm guessing it could be some kind of degeneration of the knee which has led to increased susceptibility to injury. In that case, it's a bummer him and the club - but you can understand why we'd be so hesitant.
Today will tell us more.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Fabinho was a very rare case, most Liverpool transfers are like this.On the one hand we had Fabinho and on the other....this
If he signs, Fekir, Keita and Firminho would be great business for Liverpool. Get a new keeper and they'll be serious contenders.
They signed another Brazilian and that too one named Firminho? Is he better than Firmino?
Just kidding, I know you meant Fabinho
Could be holding the announcement back a day or so. Dalglish receiving his knighthood is the big news at Anfield today.
