Salif Diao fails medical

Liverpool's Salif Diao is reported to have failed his medical and has returned to Anfield. Perhaps this at least suggests that things are getting better in the medical department given some of the crocks that have been signed in the past. Indeed, I can't remember when a Charlton prospect last failed a medical. Of course, it can be a polite way of saying 'thanks, but no thanks'.

It looks like the chase for Newcastle's Amdy Faye is hotting up, but the Barcodes are holding out for a high price.
