It's basically just a check to see if there's any lingering/old injuries that could cause a problem hence why there was so much confusion over the transfer of Andy Johnson.
They can technically sign if they have a broken leg or whatever.
he better not die of a heart attack or I'm homeless, will anyone take me in?!
i'd rather die!! jokes, love you.
Why would I waste my money on that :S Hughes is a smart enough manager to know he can get anyone he wants, but wants to prove to the Prem league he doesn't need the money to win titles and what not, hence why he wants to develop younger talent, surely!
Benzema will probably go to Barca or Real.

HUGHES ON £25M BEN-DER
Manchester City are planning a sensational £25million swoop for Lyon striker Karim Benzema.
Mark Hughes has made the hitman his number one target with the City money men ready to splash the cash again in January.
Benzema, 20, will be offered a mega four-year deal worth £100,000-a-week to join the Blues' revolution in a few months time.
PeopleSport exclusively revealed how the Frenchman almost moved to the Premier League in the summer with Manchester United but the deal fell through when Sir Alex Ferguson refused to match Lyon's asking price.
Lyon were demanding closer to £35m, but since the start of the season the club have struggled financially and now know they have to cash in on their star man.
Fergie will hate to see Benzema at his Manchester rivals, but since the signing of Dimitar Berbatov he no longer needs another front-man or has the cash available.
Hughes is in dreamland with his wish-list being drawn up around youth and flair.
Having already signed Robinho for a record fee of £32.5m, City's spending will continue in January with Franck Ribery also a target from Bayern Munich.
Ribery, 25, has previously said he has wants to play in the Premier League, but he may need some convincing to join City having been a target of Chelsea and Manchester United in the past.
City lack another front-man with Jo being the only class striker at the club and Hughes is desperate to add more to his attacking options.
Benzema has impressed not only in the French league but on the European stage, and showed he can play up front and on the wing.
