With Adrian forcing Jussi onto the bench for 'big Sam', it's interesting to see him renew his contract for another season. It would seem that West Ham want a goalkeeper with experience for those 'just in case' situations given Adrian's slow transition into being a Premier league starter. Given how little game experience Adrian has, and how he was plucked from Spanish league obscurity, it's possible to wonder why they didn't bring in a budget younger goalkeeper for a cheap price with great upside and potential. But it's important not to forget the importance of a mentoring figure to assist in developing young goalkeepers and Adrian could learn a great deal about the expectations of playing at this level, as well as supporting each other through the season for the 'mental game' aspect of goalkeeping.
