Top pundit calls for Noble to be dropped

Leroy Rosenior has repeated his belief that Mark Noble’s day is done as a regular first teamer.

The former Hammer – and big pal of Claretandhugh – has made it clear in the past on this site that he reckons the captain can now longer expect automatic selection.

And he has again declared that Noble’s continuing presence in the side raises a big question mark in his mnd and one that the manager needs to address.

Speaking to the Totally Football Show podcast he said the time has come to drop the midfielder adding:“No disrespect for Mark Noble, but they’ve bought all these players, and how is he still in the team?”

I love Mark Noble, and he’s West Ham through and through, but they’ve bought players of good quality and spent big money. He shouldn’t still be in the side.”
