Hammer would be devastated to leave West Ham

James Collins says he would be devasted to leave West Ham again saying his stint at Aston Villa killed him.

Collins told Ken Dyer in the London Standard “Nothing has been said to me. I don’t know if it’s [talks of a new deal] on the back burner. If nothing happens in January, I could be left in the lurch come the end of the season. 

“I would be devastated if I had to go. I did it once before when I went to Aston Villa and it ‘killed’ me. 

“If it comes to the worst, though, I’d probably have to go because, at my age, I need to play football.
