From watching his career whilst with us, I think this is his biggest priority to be honest. I think that's why it's important to recognise him wanting to keep playing rather than being a second-choice keeper, otherwise he could lose his Ireland spot. I think it was suitably one of his biggest reasons for dropping out of the Prem to begin with, as well as the wages we undoubtedly have him on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He probably has. But if he is on 35k here and WH offer him a 4 year deal at 75k plus a nice sign on bonus it’ll be very hard to turn down. Even if he ends up on the bench he’ll still be first choice at Ireland at least for the coming Euro finals if Ireland qualify. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt we can afford that. Link to post Share on other sites

Warned him regarding his attitude and life style and that he causes friction within camps - probably explains why no1 has took a gamble on him. Shame as I've always thought he could do well at the Boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I get what you are saying BD but do you think 75k is a realistic figure for someone that you don’t intend to give game time to unless there is an injury? Maybe at the biggest spenders in the top four but I can’t see it below them Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 895 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I think it’s a real shame if we’re forcing our best player (and the best GK we’ve had for years) out of the club for £4m. I can’t imagine he’s the highest paid player here either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They spend massive amounts of money on wages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon he'll be one of our highest earners. Link to post Share on other sites

I respect your thought process as always but it really would have to be massive figures for him to go back there so maybe you have a point 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think anybody would be surprised to see Randolph signing for West Ham. But I think the circumstances around the transfer aren't always as clear cut as a player being desperate to move and 100% alright with the deal. This wouldn't be the first time we've tried to push a player out of the club if reports on here are correct, even the owner's nephew wasn't beyond being pushed out beyond his will. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

RiseSirAxlRose 43 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I don’t understand, genuinely, ‘reports on here’? Aren’t they all opinions, realistically? I may well be wrong, I can’t see the club being that stupid enough to ‘cash in’ on 3-4 million on our best player, to have Pears as number one. Frightening if true. I think if he’s offered more money, and a contract bigger than 18 months, and also the choice of 1st team football for pretty much any prem club, he’ll be off, and I wouldn’t blame him one bit tbh Link to post Share on other sites
