Player Valuation: £70m
Because he's not a very good footballer and we need to sign good footballers to progress, simple as that. The backup argument is moot as far as I'm concerned as Kenny can do that exact job until Seamus is fit.
Amazed people are trying to get on their high horse at anyone who doesn't deem this a sensible signing.
Kenny is going out on loan for the season
Don't see the point in that at all myself. Already had successful loans. He's ready.
He's very good Zat.
But, yesterday, he made a few very big mistakes which yes, he did recover from, but still showed his inexperience.
Don't think it helped that the movement in front of him was crap, but he was really slow on the ball as well.
Anyway, only 20, plenty of time to improve.
I think it's more that Holgate will be first choice, and IF Martina comes, he'd purely be a squad player and back-up only. I'd personally like to see Kenny come in to the picture, but we'll see. I'm sure the manager will have his reasons should Martina arrive.
And if he does so, it's a very cheap deal relatively speaking. We don't need a 'long term' replacement for Seamus, so it was never going to be a case of signing a Tripier (who won't come anyway as he'll likely be first choice at Spurs next season) or whoever.
I wondered when this would happen.
The first 'but look who West Ham have signed' shout of the year.
On May the 24th, with the window not even open yet.

West Ham must be better than us then. Or are you Adverse to that?
Fair enough. Stand corrected on that.
Either way, Martina was cover for Southampton, I don't have a problem having him as cover here for the reasons I said.
Not on a high horse at all, I've got a reasonable side to why I think this does make sense. Does it excite me? Christ no! But does it make sense, absolutely. If he ends up being backup to Kenny then great.
You say "we need to sign good footballers to progress" and i totally agree, but we're not about to buy someone incredible for every position on the pitch. Regardless of what money we may/may not have we can only shell out a certain amount and we need to use that in the most needed areas - Rom/Ross replacement/backup, GK etc. I don't see RB as somewhere we need to spend a fortune as a priority

It does strike me as a very Lars Jacobsen-type signing
Nobody in the six teams above us would consider bringing Martina in as cover
I understand the reasoning, we don't want a really quality player who would stand in the way of Kenny and/or Holgate's development

I'd second that , but right now he looks very ponderous
