Farewell Adrian and Andy

As predicted West Ham have released Adrian and Andy Carroll, and a little more surprisingly Samir Nasri. Big Andy always put in a shift when fit and scored some great goals — it's just a shame his body has proved so fallible. I remember seeing Adrian star in a 2-0 win at Cardiff under Sam Allardyce, when he first really started to show his character and become a cult with the fans. That penalty and knee-slide against Everton in the FA Cup was unforgettable too. Adrian was a little hard done by to be dropped for Darren Randolph and then Joe Hart, but in both cases won his place back. Fabianski has proved an upgrade, but Adrian will always get a good reception when he returns to the London Stadium.
