Irons Chairman, David Gold is proud of the Hammers record with English players in the current squad.

Yesterday he tweeted

“West Ham are towards the top of the table for English players, with 37.5% of the players they have used this season being English. dg”

West Ham  fielded 12 English players last season which made them fifth in the Premier League table of most English players.

James Tomkins, Mark Noble, Stewart Downing, Aaron Cresswell, Carl Jenkinson and Andy Carroll ensured the Hammers have a healthy spine of English stars last season. Reece Burke and Reece Oxford broke into into the first-team too. Other English first team squad members this season include Kyle Knoyle and Elliot Lee.

Stewart Downing and Carlton Cole left the club at the end of the season but Englishman Michail Antonio joined over the summer.

    Sorry the post above was ment for the article about this DS wanting euro football,
    But while I am here
    Noble and Jenkinson are not good enough for my country,
    Carroll needs 3 months to prove himself
    Cress well and Tomkins could make the squad

    I will except 4th when 3rd ,2nd and 1 st are not winnable,
    I don’t see it as a problem to be looking down because clubs will give us respect and that can make winning easier,we need room to play football and the better clubs a e allowed more space because a lot of teams back off and respect the point ( remember that )
    Let’s get to the top then worry about the rest after that,
    I don’t want 4th now I am gready
