Poyet sent home to Hammers

Diego Poyet was not part of the squad for MK Dons’ 1-1 draw at Leeds, after which the Milton Keynes manager, Karl Robinson revealed the midfielder is returning to West Ham as he is too similar in style to vice-captain Darren Potter.

“As a combination they didn’t do too well together and he knows what Darren Potter means to my football club, It’s not fair on a young player to not give him many minutes and in time he will be a much better player than a lot in this league. He’s a tremendous young man.”

Poyet featured in five times in the Europa League ties before joining MK Dons for what was supposed to be a season long loan at Mk Stadium.

Poyet joined West Ham on 8 thJuly 2014, signing a four-year contract with West Ham and Charlton reaching a settlement for compensation.
