It signalled the end of a panic-ridden dash to snap up the athletes required to make a run for the top-spot. The \u00a345 million spent in the last 24 hours of the window in the Premier League alone this year emphasises the perceived importance of this day to football clubs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-6327\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2015\/05\/football-cover-may-2015.gif\" alt=\"football cover may 2015\" width=\"240\" height=\"321\" \/>The media frenzy surrounding the saga shows helicopters landing outside training grounds and players being ushered through back doors in order to \u201cdot the i\u2019s and cross the t\u2019s\u201d in time for the deadline. When the terms are agreed and a mutual agreement reached between player and club, only a medical stands as a barrier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what goes on in the medical examination behind these closed doors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst the process as well as the perceived importance of it differs from club-to-club, Hywel Griffiths, Head of Medical Service for Cardiff City FC provided an insight into their system:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe club doctor and I will start with a full head-to-toe musculoskeletal assessment, consisting of joint examinations as well as strength and proprioceptive assessments\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Following this MSK MOT, it\u2019s off to the local private hospital for a detailed medical examination, where cardiac screening and any further indicated tests are carried out #NoExpenseSpared. But can\u2019t they get this information from the player\u2019s previous club, or the player himself?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t always rely on the previous club or the player to provide the precise information you need\u201d explains Hywel. \u201cBoth parties may have a vested interest in the process, and when you\u2019re paying the equivalent of a mansion for these players, you have to ensure that they won\u2019t break down on arrival and are safe to train &amp; play\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It seems this message has reached the new generation of British professional football players too, with Bristol City FC\u2019s Wesley Burns stating that he \u201cpersonally wouldn\u2019t hide any injuries that could possibly hinder a move, because it\u2019s within the new club\u2019s rights to not only fine the player and former club, but to terminate that player\u2019s contract\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What about the role of the oft-seen on Match of the Day fire-breathing managers, can they affect the medical or transfer process?\u00a0 How do you deal with these personalities? \u201cAt the end of the day you have to be professional and do your job, you\u2019re not there to pass unhealthy players. Although managers can be influential, as demonstrated in the blood-gate saga in rugby, your role first and foremost is to seek assurances regarding the health and wellbeing of the individual concerned. Anyway, the manager won\u2019t get a good performance from someone who isn\u2019t healthy, so it\u2019s in everybody\u2019s interest that you\u2019re able to determine all the facts about a player\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So following the medical, what happens? \u201cAfter all the relevant checks have been performed, we will bring all of the information we have to a consensus meeting where a decision between the medical staff is made\u201d. Only following this will the club manager and secretary be notified of the decision, and the signing can be completed. It also seems that the \u2018deadline\u2019 is not all as commanding as it seems, with clubs able to sign players on the condition that a full medical is passed the subsequent day (just don\u2019t tell Sky Sports News!).<\/p>\n<p>With the bumper TV deal flooding the English Premier League with even more money, we will undoubtedly see a number of high profile transfers in the coming years, so spare a thought for those involved in giving the deals the green light and should you find yourself in this position in years to come, in the words of a seasoned professional \u201cremember your role\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>For related reading: <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/49\/9.toc\" target=\"_blank\">See BJSM&#8217;s May 2015 issue on Football Medicine<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>****************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Steffan Griffin<\/em><\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lifestylemedic\">@lifestylemedic<\/a>)<em>\u00a0<\/em><em>is a third year medical student at the University of Birmingham currently intercalating at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Sports Science.
