Back to the thread at hand. I will be amazed if Britt is still here come 1st Feb. If he is I think he may ride it out for the final 18 months of his contract and leave for free. It would be crippling to the clubs plans to change our style. Best all round for him to move on. The question is, will a prem side be desperate enough to gamble on him, or will we have to sell to a championship club and subsidise his wages? Who to replace Britt? Well if we are going down the youth route maybe Marcus Forss at wimbledon Yeah I agree with this. Now is a good time for him to move on. If we could do the same with Gestede as well then I'd be delighted but I'm guessing he isn't going anywhere until his contract is up. I'd be quite happy to see a few others go as well but that might be getting into the realms of overkill. Link to post Share on other sites

Alledgedly deal is done, but waiting on all the social media stuff to be wrapped up. Before being made official. Oh right lol, I thought there was something about him failing a medical!

nunthorpered 1,922 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 16 minutes ago, OldManGravz said: I get that there are still some earners on the books but Randolph, Britt and Shotton could all apparently be off which surely frees up a decent amount of money we would be spending on the remainder of their contracts for the season, which would mean less of the transfer funds needs to be saved for the wage bill? All depends on what is sustainable long term. We aren't in a position to start spending anymore significant money. You can't get any decent enough quality in at this level anyway. Thats the problem. You can't afford the top league 1 players who might not adapt anyway. You have a hard time convincing fringe prem players of dropping down to play. Only thing left is what you have, prem youth players or the odd gem that might hit it in the really low leagues. Tough transfer windows these days Link to post Share on other sites

Can understand clubs taking time over these things, especially early in the window, when there is time to scrutinise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't they bringing him in because of an injured keeper? If it was a player in the early stages of their career then I'd probably agree that there probably wouldn't be much of an issue. Actually, y'know what, scratch where I was going with that. This is West Ham. They love constantly injured players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ABH 470 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 35 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: This again? The timeline is totally off for this to be true - randolph was injured for a few weeks and then played for us the week before he played for Ireland - he was already back for us before the international break so why would we be annoyed at him for that? And if there was such an uproar then why did he play for us in that match? It makes zero sense. He should fly though the medical. He’s never been injured 😁 Link to post Share on other sites
macapes 1,919 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 From the Guardian: Darren Randolph’s £4m move to West Ham has been held up by a thigh injury that has troubled the Middlesbrough goalkeeper this season. The Republic of Ireland Ireland international travelled to London to hold talks over personal terms on Tuesday but he is yet to pass a medical and will have another scan on the problem on Wednesday. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/07/west-ham-loan-move-benfica-midfielder-gedson-fernandes-stalls Link to post Share on other sites
