It really wouldnt surprise me if he was on 40 to 50k a week. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Football Insider just put up an article saying West Ham are waiting on receiving results of 2nd medical on Randolph before deciding whether to proceed. Expect to get results on Monday. This has the hallmarks of a transfer that could fall through. Hope I am wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

Bored of it all now to be honest... if it falls through it will prob mean no more incomings... just how it is Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I don't think it would be good for team spirit having a player come back in who either failed to get a move or the club failed to force him out, whichever way you look at it. Bad for the fans too. Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,543 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’d be interested in where MFC would stand legally. If one club doesn’t want to take the risk and we play him further exasperating his injury would Boro be accountable? Link to post Share on other sites

Top GK and great player for us but he one we can afford to move on so to use some of the fee to strengthen where we are weaker. Therefore really want him gone. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,363 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) If we had a very strong outfield, akin to when we got promoted, then I'd be desperate to keep Randolph as he's an excellent quality Championship goalkeeper. However, as many of our outfield positions need strengthening/depth, we're in a tough financial position, Randolph's fee and wages would raise significant funds, and his fee is only going to depreciate with his contract expiring soon, I'm therefore quite happy to sell him. It should go through as planned once his injury heals so I'm not getting too concerned yet. Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be ideal but i'd rather that and sell him in the summer than have him back in the team stifling Pears' development and destroying his confidence. He's earned the right to be #1, dropping him for Randolph should he stay would be disastrous for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Does give him a bit of a safety net though which I wouldn't mind. My worst fear in this scenario is Pears, quite understandably, doesn't keep up his form endlessly and we have nowhere to turn and have to push him through his tough period, fans getting on his back, club getting blamed for not replacing Randolph, etc. etc. At least if Randolph stays, there's a safe pair of hands behind him.
