So, do you know something that the medicals at both Rangers and City have missed? |  | |  |

Charles has had bad injuries to both shoulders, the most recent in January this year, which took him out of action for three months. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yes, I'm aware of that, I just wondered at Lassel's knowledge that it's likely to go again. |  | |  |
| Pierce Charles confirmed on 12:10 - Jul 10 with 6555 views | numptydumpty | From what have read, i think Charles will be the better goalkeeper. There are mixed reviews on Ward but Charles is all very positive and am sure as part of the deal, he will have to play a certain amount of games, otherwise they might recall the loan. In meantime, Ward can push hard for a place and could be number one next year. Walsh could do well to compete next season and even if not could push up his transfer value. To me, all seems on paper very sensible and efficient. Well done to Messrs Nourry, Belk and others. Interesting times ahead. |  |

Would be interesting to know what pitch the club made to Ward in order for him to leave his 1st team slot at Motherwell on a perm: "You'll be second choice behind Charles" or "You'll fight it out for the jersey with Charles" (who City wouldn't have loaned to us unless he was guaranteed big minutes) It would have to be one of those two, but both seem quite a strange choice for Ward to have made. Unless it's the opportunity to return south, and/or a load more money, of course. |  | |  |

If you asked him the score, he'd say “one thinks it's one-one” |  | |  |

I’m sure both medical picked up the pins in both shoulders - it’s really quite hard to miss after all. Anyone who has had a shoulder problem would know a pinning is a last resort and the shoulder is permanently weakened. There’s a reason City got him for £3m….. |  | |  |

Why did City buy him though? They can't be thinking of using him in their first team squad, is he the future Scott Carson, just there for vibes? Or, is the loan market that bad that City will make the £3m back and more by loaning him out a few times, like Chelsea did with Tammy Abrahams |  | |  |

Same reason CFG buy up dozens of youngsters every year - buy low on a long contract, loan them out for a couple of years then sell them for a profit. It’s enormously profitable for them. |  | |  |

Is it though? I thought I read that City lost £10m last year. When you are spending £45m a year just on Haalands wages are you also ducking and diving to make £4.5 m on a Championship goalkeeper? Just weird, I guess a lot of it is performative to show they are trying to meet P&S rules? |  | |  |

To be fair it's QPR so he's unlikely to be catching anything. |  |

This is my concern too. Neither of these deals work if the player ends up on the bench, but only one of them can start. I can see it working - start the season with Charles, who already knows the league, then bring Ward in slowly over the course of the season, get him used to the Championship and set him up to be our number 1 next year - but that relies on a lot of things going right! It’s also what we should have done last year with Nardi and Walsh, but we flubbed it. Both keepers look like solid signings, but I feel like the critical thing will be how we handle them.
