Fabianski just replaces Foderingham as no.3 keeper.

We’ve actually strengthened.
That's an interesting way to look at it. Perhaps you're right, if you're going to have three goalkeepers out of those four, it's Foderingham you'd ditch. I'd sooner have a young goalie as third choice but being optimistic I suppose we have strengthened, yeah.
Foderingham is leaving anyway mate, just not confirmed yet.

This is a quote from the Fab interview on the OS:

Welcome back, Łukasz! How does it feel to be a Hammer again?

“This is a nice surprise for me, if I’m honest, because everything happened so quick. I found out about the whole situation [with Wes Foderingham potentially departing] just at the end of last week."
Foderingham departing was confirmed on the OS yesterday.

Would never be a keeper but ageing keeper is a pretty cushy job.
Play til you are near 40 on a decent wage … when I say play I mean train with the keepers & then go home
Foderingham has had a nice holiday but I guess playing a bit in the Cyprus sunshine becomes more appealing than sitting on your arse after a while

Foderingham is going to Cyprus where the transfer window is still open
Is Saudi still open? Can they PLEASE take Rodriguez if so

Said last season that even at 40 Fabianski looked capable of playing another season as no2
There wasn’t a massive difference between him & Areola when he played last season

I’m actually surprised no one snapped up Fab over the summer. 

Maybe he was being selective, as he wanted to stay in London.

Rooney’s younger than Ronaldo, who’ll be starting CF for Portugal at the World Cup next summer.

A shame Rooney didn’t look after himself better, as he could’ve surely had a good couple of extra seasons before hanging up his boots.

Yes. It wouldn't surprise me.

What a circus the club is under Sullivan, Brady, Noble and the rest of the board.

He should have been given another year or two anyway. People are fitter and stronger than ever, and it won’t be long before you see players playing up to 50. I reckon Ronaldo will do it. 
Ain’t there a Jap stiker who’s about 50 odd still playing.
