Hammers Supporters Unanimous In Joy For Adrian

It would take a rather cruel hearted West Ham fan to not enjoy ex-Keeper Adrian San Miguel's moment in the spotlight, unless he is psychic there is no way the shot stopper would ever have envisaged playing in the 'Super Cup' final between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Adrian was always an immensely popular player while with West Ham, a definite fans favourite, he even bided his time when he was initially dropped in favour of Joe Hart before eventually being recalled, he then had to 'face off' against Lukasz Fabianski for the number one spot before finally deciding he had to move from the London Stadium.

Adrian was offered a new deal at West Ham, but not on his original wages, therefore when Liverpool came calling his decision to join up with Jurgen Klopp was a no-brainer. Incidentally for those who wonder why Adrian wasn't kept on by Manuel Pellegrini, the reason is quite simple, money!

Roberto and David Martin were brought in as back up keepers in order for the highly promising Nathan Trott to go out on loan, interestingly the combined wages of both Roberto and David Martin of £50,000 per week are less than the £60,000 Adrian was being paid. Rumour has it that Adrian signed for Liverpool for £70,000 per week excluding bonuses.

The recent injury to Fabianski will have focused minds at the club, but surely no one can begrudge the extremely amiable Adrian's success with the Pool - Ed
