Come on Ed’s any news on a replacement keeper as back up now Simon has left? A lot of talk of Adrian on a free which would be a great bit of business. Or are we going to go with one of younger keepers like Kheller?

{Ed001's Note - that is the replacement. I thought he was coming as our 3rd choice but it seems he is just a replacement for Migs. Seems a good option. Good with his feet, good shot stopper and usually plays well in short bursts.}

Good business, selling one of the weaker keepers in the Prem then signing one of the strongest No. 2s on a free. Best wishes to both.

==============================
I did read somewhere about a contact between us and Adrian a couple of weeks ago, I dismissed it thinking its rubbish . But probably you are right, possibly the initial approach was to be a third choice then the offer for Simon, they probably thought better to sell Migs and getting Adrian as second choice . which explains how quickly things developed.

Agree Ed, also seems a good character, great for the dressing room.

{Ed001's Note - he was certainly well liked at the Hammers and Betis.}
