It's only a month loan, but hopefully Rami will get some time.

A bit strange that Wenger has chosen to go with Stack on the bench over the more experienced Shabaan at the moment. Maybe he just needs games to get him properly fit, but I'd have thought they could accomplish that in the reserves.

When is Taylor coming back? He has a shoulder injury no? How long can be off?

There was an interview with Taylor in the Boro programme. It says he's meant to have had an X-ray this week to check that the injury has healed properly and then it will be back into training. So we'll hopefully see him at least on the bench in the near future.

I think this is a terrific move... West Ham is in the fight for promotion and is now without a first-choice goalkeeper, so Rami should get some good playing time in a pressure situation. I can't see a reason not to like that move.
Obviously, the downside is if something happens to Jens during a match, Stack will be thrown into the fire. Then again, that happened to Stuart Taylor in the most recent double season and he did quite well -- even supplanting Richard Wrong-Wrong-Wrong as first deputy to Safe Hands.
