You would have thought that the news of Lukasz Fabianski’s injury not being quite as bad as was once feared would be good news for the Hammers. However, that news has come in, yet the fans aren’t happy, as they believe it gives the club an excuse not to sign a new backup stopper.
A scan report has revealed that Lukasz Fabianski will be out of action for just a couple of weeks.
We’re right behind you, @LukaszFabianski!

The Irons have got loads of time for Fabianski and when he’s at his best he is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. However, this season he’s had two separate muscle injuries and things do not look good for the Polish ex-Arsenal man.
With that in mind, David Moyes should be dying for a new goalkeeper to come in, initially as a back-up, but potentially to take the role of the Polish gloveman long-term, although they’re worried that the injury to Fabianski being a minor one could rule out any potential for a new sho-stopper being signed.
Should Fabianski be replaced?
Yes
No

1st of Feb they’ll say ‘the injury is worse than first feared’
It’s all crap because they don’t want to spend money on another keeper.

What a sorry state of affairs at our club, when asked who’s your best player, our keeper, other clubs would reply, our centre forward or midfielder. It’s a total bloody embarrassing!!!!!!!

Let’s buy a goalkeeper anyway. David Martin as a backup is OK, but we hopefully will be replacing Roberto anyway.

Can’t recall a player who’s absence has had a bigger impact on a football team’s form or results than Fabianski’s absence has on West Ham. The contract of with him and without him is incredible. He is by far our most important player at the club.

The Hammers have got a lot of time for Fabianski and love the Pole, but they also want to see a new goalkeeper come in as soon as possible.
