Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/06/west-ham-agree-to-sign-darren-randolph-from-middlesbrough-for-4m-gedson-fernandes Randolph confirmation from the Guardian, the fee makes sense we just split the difference in the valuations. Hopefully reinvest a little of it on a permanent signing and good luck to Randolph he's a top GK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 167 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Good luck to him, he's been brilliant for us but I'm happy with Pears to remain in goal. Could maybe do with loaning a keeper incase of injury to Pears or Mejias though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Eintracht Frankfurt and Cologne interested in Ben Gibson. Probably his wages preventing a loan move back home. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hopefully Randolph gets his chance this time as he is far better than a championship keeper. Keep Pears till the end of the season and then see if there's any decent freebies floating about. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroBoy1989 229 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 We want to be wary of ending up with too many loan players at the end of January. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Anderlecht are willing to let Bubacar Sanneh go on loan. He was an absolute monster in the Danish league before making a big move to Anderlecht (CT and DZ are going to love this). Things haven't been well for him there with internal problems in the club, management merry-go-round and an inflated fee (8mil pounds). Had a failed loan move in Turkey for the first 6 months of this season. Reckon he would be a cheap-ish cover and would thrive in the Championship. Strong as an ox, brilliant with his head and decent pace. But might still just be too much of a gamble considering how little he has played the last year or so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Can't just fill the team with loans. Will leave massive gaps in the squad when some of the out of contract players also leave in the summer. Too big a project for one window. I'm hoping the Randolph sale, and likely also Shotton, will allow us to extend the contracts of Howson and Ayala and spend some money on 1-2 permanent transfers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 How many loans do we have currently... is it 2 or have I missed some? Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hopefully with the sale of Randolph we'll have some money for a permanent and resign Howson and Ayala Link to post Share on other sites
