West Ham supporters have got very little time for Roberto Jimenez, and they’ve been given the excellent news that the Spaniard has left the club on a loan deal for Alaves until the end of the season. The goalkeeper had a shocking time in England, and his exit is the best outcome for all parties
Good luck, Roberto!

That might sound harsh to anyone who only caught glimpses of Roberto, but if you need to see what he was like, go back and take a look at his performance against Burnley as the Hammers fell to a 3-0 defeat and you’ll see all you need to see.
However, for the majority of the Irons, just the mention of that Burnley game will give the fans PTSD given how shockingly poor he was. His exit truly is a great thing, and now the fans will just be hoping he can impress out on loan and gain a permanent move elsewhere.
Is Roberto the worst goalkeeper you've ever seen?
Yes
No
You can read the Hammers’ thoughts on Roberto here:
He’ll probably miss the flight. We’ve had some bad players over the years, but this fella absolutely robbed a wage from the club. Of course, in true West Ham fashion, it was made worse by the refusal to drop him, and the lack of a premier league replacement when he did finally go

One of, if not the, worst goalkeeper I have ever seen in the professional game.

Bet he struggles catching the flight

Without being rude, I can’t remember a worse player playing for us.
Hope he plays well at Alaves

Is that a real message or sarcasm the man literally could relegate the club the amount of points he lost the team

The Irons have loved seeing Roberto out of the door and will now be keen to see him leave permanently in summer.
