Wrensup Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 (edited) Hear******** sorry! Well, today I spoke to my uncle I don't see very often at a family gathering. He said to me that he's heard a rumour that the reason gaston doesn't play a full game is because he has an underling heart condision that wasn't picked up in his medical and was discovered later on. Now I know that there isn't a whole lot of substance to that, but my uncle was director of finance at manchester united and general bigwig so he may know someone who knows someone, if you know what I mean haha Just passing what I heard on, make of it what you will ahah Edited 7 June, 2013 by Wrensup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Gaston played 75+ minutes 12 times this year......... 16 times last year.......and that´s only stats from league games, not national team games where he though is more or less 12th player and coming on as the first sub more than starting so far...

buctootim Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Might be an idea to ask a mod to delete the thread if you're worried about revealing your source. It wasn't exactly rocket science to work it out from your OP. Dont think its libellous, but nonetheless probably a good idea for Wrensup, his uncle and Gaston.

The9 Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 I only suggested it's dodgy ground because obviously a claim like this could affect the player's reputation and future career, and equally as the claim is medically based it would be very easy to prove or disprove in court. And let's face it, he's going to know about it if it IS true, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Unless he's genuinely unsettled and worried he's not starting, I can't see any reason why we'd want to sell him now. Next year's a World Cup year and he'll be busting a gut to be involved in the first team every game by the time the spring comes around so he's starting for Uruguay - assuming they qualify of course.

spyinthesky Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Hear******** sorry! Well, today I spoke to my uncle I don't see very often at a family gathering. He said to me that he's heard a rumour that the reason gaston doesn't play a full game is because he has an underling heart condision that wasn't picked up in his medical and was discovered later on. Now I know that there isn't a whole lot of substance to that, but my uncle was director of finance at manchester united and general bigwig so he may know someone who knows someone, if you know what I mean haha Just passing what I heard on, make of it what you will ahah It is often easy to put 2 + 2 together and make 5. However a month or two back a mate of mine was due for a visit to the Spire in Tremona Rd for a consultation with a Cardiology Specialist. His appointment was bumped as the Consultant had to see a Saints player at short notice. We speculated at the time who this could be and thought perhaps Adam Lallana who had a heart related matter as a youngster. Perhaps it could have been Ramirez, then again it could have been part of routine checks after the problems with the Bolton player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 I only suggested it's dodgy ground because obviously a claim like this could affect the player's reputation and future career 'We're considering putting a bid in for this Ramirez fella' 'I wouldn't be so sure.

Alain Perrin Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 I'm pretty sure this is libellous. I'm pretty sure it's bull****. If you've got an underlying heart condition you don't play for 5 minutes, let alone 75 minutes. You get it fixed or you retire.

red&white56 Posted 8 June, 2013 Share Posted 8 June, 2013 You've got it wrong. He only plays 70 mins so he can get off the pitch and be the first in the bath. Actually he runs the bath, fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 8 June, 2013 Share Posted 8 June, 2013 He has a Clause In his contract that he only has to play a maximum of 70 minutes. FACT I believe Ramirez has the same agent as Guly and for next season the agent is negoyiating to tie it into a 70/20 clause for the pair of them. SFC are obviously tied in to Gaston's 70 minute clause, nothing they can do to change that, but from what my ITK sources tell me they're not keen on extending the terms of Guly's current 15 minute clause.

Bo***ks! Presumably the Bolton player Patrice Muamba, would have had to pass a thorough medical and given the all clear (and there have been other professional footballers and athletes who have suffered significant heart related problems not picked up by health checks) There are some players, such as Asa Hartford who played for Man City at the top level for many years with a hole in the heart, which required regular screening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 8 June, 2013 Share Posted 8 June, 2013 To be fair he might have a point. If there is one thing you could expect the director of finance at Man United to know its the health condition of a Uruguayan midfielder who had previous played in Italy that no one else, not even the clubs doctors picked up on.
