Adrian likely to be Hart sacrifice

|

AdrianAdrian’s future will be on thin West Ham ice should the club complete the expected transfer of Joe Hart to the club on loan over  the next few days.

There has been an ongoing debate about which of him and Darren Randolph could be on their way should Hart make his expected arrival.

And it seems that Adrian will not be content with spending a season – and probably longer – in the shadows after playing second fiddle to Randolph last season.

The Spaniard has huge self confidence  and sees himself as a possible future goalkeeper for his country and needs to be playing regularly to put himself in the international frame.

Newcastle are believed to be keen where Rafa Benitez is searching for a stopper but he will have to pay around £8 million for Adrian who only signed a new West ham deal this summer.

    Pointless signing . We already have a very Good Keeper in Adrian . Then they say we don’t have enough money to sign other players and pay Thier OTT wages . Nothing is making a lot of sense right now . Personally, I hope the Hart deal falls flat on its face .

    I read this site all the time and all i ever see is you moan about everything Kevin.
    If Adrian was so good why did he lose his place to Randolph.I will tell you why because he kept on making stupid mistakes.If he was so good why didnt he play all games last season instead of being replaced.You dont have to be a rocket scientist to understand that.

    I don’t know who everybody else has been watching but when I’ve seen hart he doesn’t fill me with confidence, on loan last season he played 37 and kept 5 clean sheets in a team that finished top half of the table , its why they didn’t want him back even though he wanted to stay. Even the owner of Torino said he makes too many mistakes. I would rather we saved our money and stuck with Adrian because hart isn’t an improvement . To me this smacks of desperation by the owners and bilic just to acquire a ‘big name’ ….this isn’t going to end well

    We have two very good goalies in Adrian and Randolph as a sub, We don,t need Hart.
    We need to break our record spend and try to get Vardy here, and get rid of Snodgrass , Ayew and Fonte while we still can.

    • Eug says:

      I disagree We have one excellent goalie in Adrian and one bad goalie in Randolph.
      Randolph is more scared of crosses than a Vampire. When ever he plays you can tell the defence has no confidence in him.
      Keep Adrian and sell Randolph.

    Hart bombed out of city because of constant mistakes , loaned out to Torino and was making the same mistakes there and conceeding goals galore , nobody wants to sign the england NO1 because he’s not fancied by no one , he,s England career is about to come to an end , his price has gone from 25 – 10 million, not even good enough to make the bench at city and Torino does not want him back, this overrated bloke is in limbo but we will upset the applecart to sign the him and pay him big bucks ? If he was that good surely we would buy him outright , the truth is its another sully gamble just before the season starts,
    And all this according to Werner von braun 🙂 I’m with you Kevin on this one mate me old china doll troll 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Ok i will leave it in the capable hands of you Joe Hart experts.Laughable it is.

    • John says:

      Englands no 1 with 71 caps and champions league experience and more medals than you can shake a stick at. But he’s not good enough for us. 😂😂

  • Max Willow says:

    Joe Hart is not going to score the goals that a good striker could score, is he?
    Adrian is my pick-technically better than Randolph, particularly with curling crosses!
    Adrian is a real West Ham man and belongs with us!

  • GW says:

    So who can we have a moan about signing next 😆😆 But don’t dare besmirch the Poppodoms name or the fact that he’ll eventually play a game or two that’s sacrilege 😂😂

  • master says:

    Such a bad keeper he gets picked by successive England managers over and over and over

  • JRS says:

    Adrian wanted out before this at wns of season and even if this does fall thru which it very well could Some one comes in with permanent bid and Hart and City prefer that or for other reasons.
    But Adrian will still want to go seem he wants to play for Frank De Boer so I’d this falla thru we will still have our GK looking to leave I think

  • JRS says:

    Hart, Adrian and Randolph Stats last season.
    Statically Adrian is superior link below
