Gold: ‘This guy is a brand new player ‘

Gold2David Gold described  Stewart Downing as “the most improved player” on his Twitter feed today but in an exclusive interview with ClaretandHugh he gets much closer to the truth dubbing him “a new player.”

Gold has been an even more regular visitor to Twitter than usual over the last few days clearly determined to enjoy this moment.

And speaking to this site he declared: “It’s clear hes the most improved player but I’ll go further – he’s a brand  new player.

“Playing in that diamond has been the making of him and it’s him who is making things tick in there.

“His passing is absolutely spot on and although I’ve said it before I believe he is our new Alan Devonshire this season.

“Dev of course was different in that he ghosted past players but there’s elements of Stewart’s game that are similar.

“It’s such a joy to be able to talk positively about West Ham. I’m enjoying what’s happening as much as any fan because that’s what I am.

“The new players have allow Stewart to play in a different role but it’s down to him that he has done so successfully.

“West Ham have had many bad times and I’m thrilled to bits that our fans are so high this season and being given so much to cheer and enjoy.”
