He was crap for us (which is all that matters) when he was fit. Also that Bayern record isn't great!

When we signed him his record was:
Blackburn:
57 games
23 goals
10 assists
Blackburn Rovers F.C. Player of the Season: 2007-08
Bayern Munich:
156 games
31 goals
14 assists
Paraguay:
89 games
25 goals
Paraguayan Footballer of the Year: 1999
His record wasn't bad at all, the problem was his injuries here not his ability.

I agree but what I mean is judging by how well he done for his country and blackburn I can see why Hughes signed him.

It could well be, just passing on what I heard. Would certainly take it with a pinch of salt. My instincts say its bollocks, but surely there must have been major concerns with his medical at the very best? The truth is probably somewhere between him failing and passing
He isnt the only player to fail a medical and still get signed for us though,
There was quite a saga at the medical of 1 of our players who is now a suit ;)

His Bayern record is absolutely crap, too - for a full forward. Gomez can shoot more goals in one season than Santa Cruz in 8 years...
He played only about 1000 minutes each year and only played about 30 full matches. He had big challengers so, with Elber, Sergio, Makaay, Pizarro, Zickler, Jancker - and never made it into the first duo - but...
