I think Fabianski could've gone to a bigger London club like Watford or Fulham

Seeing lots of tweets from #WHU #WestHam fans saying that Fabianski is a waste of money and no better than Adrian. They’re about to have a very pleasant surprise.

Fabianski is one player who I wouldn’t want, or expect to see suffer from the dreaded Swansea curse. Think he’ll be a great goalkeeper for West Ham. Good luck, @LukaszFabianski 🙌🏻

Fabianski leaving is by FAR the worst news of 2018 X

Arsenal - Leno 🇩🇪
Crystal Palace - Guaita 🇪🇸
Huddersfield - Hamer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Newcastle - Dúbravka 🇸🇰
West Ham - Fabianski 🇵🇱
Wolves - Patricio 🇵🇹

It's a transfer window for the Goalkeepers so-far #FPL

Gutted to see Fabianski leave. He really did get it. The passion that is evident in this pic was evident every time he wore a Swans shirt and for that we will always be thankful. Incredible keeper, equally incredible dedication, professionalism and commitment. All the best, YJB. pic.twitter.com/ebI6XWexz6

Lukasz Fabianski has always been a solid keeper no matter what club he's played in. One of Swansea's best players and West Ham building a strong defence with Diop and now the Polish shot stopper. #WHUFC pic.twitter.com/DKQqiJu2GJ

Fabianski, at £7.2m according to tmkt, becomes I think the 4th highest transfer fee ever paid to a 33-or-over player?!! #WHUFC now have two of the top 4. We love to spend high on old players.
— Alex V (@ratfootalex) June 20, 2018

A good keeper and I hope he does well at West Ham but I personally think we should’ve pushed harder to sign Patricio/Butland. Fabianski and Adrian are at a similar level so once again we don’t have a proper number one. https://t.co/16f8jxQro3
