Collins: “I’m doing alright”

|

J CollinsJames Collins is delighted with his form despite suffering a few niggles from a number of injury problems.

The 31 year old central defender has been massive for the Hammers over recent games and drew a special comment from David Sullivan after Saturday’s win against Sunderland.

As we reported yesterday the Welshman – now away in international duty is our “dark outsider” as Hammer of the Year with the co chairman claiming of his latest performance: “He was outstanding.”

Collins and partner Cheik Kouyate partnered him at the back and Collins said: “I’m doing alright. I have struggled a little bit with some niggles, but I am over that now.

Of Kouyate, he said: β€œHe is so experienced and has played there so many times for his country so he knows what he is doing.

β€œHe has a lack of English, but he is still very vocal on the pitch which is always good.”

    Great work bringing collins back in a few years ago. Dont think i fully appreciated what wed been missing until i saw his performances for aston villa. Kouyate was another great bit of business. I remember last year when sam went to belgium to watch anderlecht v standard liege the press all thought he was there looking at a striker. Kouyate had been linked with arsenal for about two years previous to that.
