West Ham’s goal keeper situation is developing into certainly a ‘drama‘ if not yet a a ‘crisis: Blame me for tempting fate with my earlier article concerning Areola’s scan and the opportunity that may represent for third choice ‘keeper Finn Herrick accordingly.
Bad enough that Areola has been sent for a scan (more on that later in this article..) leaving Hermansen as the out-of-form senior ‘keeper. But…..
No sooner had we written of the opportunity this presents for third choice keeper Finn Herrick, than we hear on the grapevine that Herrick has been forced to withdraw from England’s u20 training camp and is returning to Rush Green. Reason as yet unspecified.
Problems galore for Scott Parker as Areola is not, apparently, match fit and now Finn Herrick has issues
Which potentially leaves Scott Parker in a jam with only the out-of-form, unpopular Dane to select for the Preston North End fixture in twelve days time.
Indeed, the situation concerning Areola remains unclear: ExWHUEmployee – reported by thewesthamway.com -believes he’s ‘been sent for a scan‘: Our own training ground source, speaking to us on the promise of anonymity, claims the issue is rather more – erm -“rounded”: There’s a whisper that Areola is about a stone overweight and not remotely match fit.
Have a feeling that the truth will out during the next ten days ahead of West Ham’s resumption of hostilities in the championship next Saturday. Worrying times.
The WORST and most Unprofessional squad in 60 years!!
It’s staggering isn’t it, Todibo unable to complete 90 minutes due to not fit. Now Areola allegedly a stone overweight and not match fit. How much do we pay these people ?
