You were a good guy Randz... You made some howlers but you served the club well.
At least this means hopefully Adrian is staying.

I've already come to terms with Randolph having been gone haha. Hope we get a nice little fee to pay off some of the Little Pea.

Ginge, God bless him, has still learnt nothing about the art of defending in those clips, stepping out of line, when he shouldn't, midfielders, still too weak in the challenge, (when will that ever change)? and too many players utterly bemused by their pace and movement
I know. Wasn't knocking Tonka, always been a fan of his. Just I was there for that game and was struck by how good Hernandez's movent was.

I'd be very surprised if there are very many Mexican's who aren't internationals that would qualify for a work permit.

Agreed. Hopefully that means Adrian stays as #2. We'll need him for at least 2 matches next season and I'm sure he'll play cup games too.

Hope not. Doesn't hold a candle to Jiminez.

I did say when we were in for Hart, it would be Randolph that would be sold and not Adr8an who I expect to get the Cup matches and League games depending on injury or bad form for Hart.

Only way Adrian also leaves is if a young decent understudy is found to allow Adrian to leave but I don't see tbat happening this season.

Probably wants to stay put now that he gets to play with Enner Valencia... :shock:

Watched Damm the other night and can't see him cutting it in the PL. Gets the ball forward but very undisciplined.

If we are looking for one of Hernandez' amigos, would not mind Andres Guardardo. Those two have amazing understanding, and Guardado is fearless. Have no idea whether he's available or realistic but those two together would be prolific.

I'd be shocked if it's Vela.

We'd have to shell out a pretty penny for him and that's like 90m in investment in wingers in the last 3 years. What are we, Liverpool?

Vela, Arnautovic, Ayew, and Antonio... that's an expensive, expensive group.

I think It's Jimenez or Jesus "Tecatito" Corona. Possibly Jonathan Dos Santos.

Tecatito plays on the wing for his club but plays as a false 9 for Mexico. Could want him as a backup to Chicharito. Jonathan Dos Santos we could stick anywhere in midfield and he'd do a job for us.

Glad it's Randolph and not Adrian.

Randolph thanks for the effort you've put in at the club.

Just to reiterate; the journalist who is friends with Chicharito stated another Mexican player may be going to West Ham on Monday and later said they are based in Europe, not Mexico

Yesterdays a dream,
I face the morning,
Crying on a breeze,
The pain is calling, oh Randy,

Well you came and you jumped without taking,
And they've sent you away oh Randy,
When you missed it, couldn't stop it and were shaking,
And we don't need you today oh Randy.
