Randolph is back!

So finally the Daren Randolph deal has gone through and he's signed for £5 million. It seems he'll be fit for Saturday too, which is a relief after all the medicals. One fact I'd forgotten was that he played in the last WHU game at Upton Park against Manchester United. Though of course the cheapest option of all would have been to meet Adrian's wage demands and keep him at the club last summer...  Anyway, just as long as Randolph doesn't have to take a goal kick everything should be fine.

Farewell Darren Randolph

Best of luck to Darren Randolph who is moving to Middlesbrough for £5 million following the arrival of Joe Hart. He's a good keeper, if sometimes a little inconsistent. In his first season he did really well in the Cup games and also when called upon to deputise for Adrian, such as a fine performance in the 3-0 win at Liverpool. A long run in the first team found the pressure getting to him a little bit last season and he was dropped after a couple of mistakes at Sunderland — although in fairness he was playing behind a very shaky defence. But Randolph could also produce brilliant saves, not least a spectacular tip-over from Jordan Henderson's rocket at Anfield, which is being shown on the club's website tribute. Thanks for a productive two seasons, Darren.
