Sullivan daring to dream

David_Sullivan_gives_Hammers_signDavid Sullivan is making no bones about it – the Irons are in rattling good shape.

The co chairman – speaking to the official site, however, claims however, that the manager has a big job ahead of him – keeping everybody happy but says: ” That is a good thing to have.”

He said: “We have four top class central defenders and we have got cover all over the squad. We have still got Alex Song and Enner Valencia to come back.

Andy Carroll is starting to come back and it was great to see him score the winner against Chelsea on Saturday.
You could argue that he has made an impact in the last three games that he has come on since the Norwich game.

He was involved in the injury time equaliser that Kouyate scored, he set up the second goal for Manuel Lanzini against Crystal Palace and got the winner on Saturday. He has had a huge impact.

“There is no reason why that cannot continue. We all want him to do well. He has trained incredibly hard and on his day he can make a contribution.

We want every player at West Ham United to do well. We don’t have to rush anyone back from injury now and this is the strongest squad we have ever put together. We are very optimistic for the future.

In football we are here to dream. We were in four competitions at the start of the season, we are left in two and anything is possible.”
