Former West Ham United and Fulham striker Leroy Rosenior has called for Slaven Bilic to drop club captain Mark Noble.
The Hammers have invested heavily over the past two summers on a number of high profile players, however despite competition for places racking up, Noble has managed to keep himself a regular starter in Bilic’s West Ham side.
Should Rosenior – the striker who made over 50 appearances for the Hammers between 1988-1992 – be calling the shots however, things may be a little different.
“No disrespect for Mark Noble, but they’ve bought all these players, and how is he still in the team,” questioned Rosenior speaking on the Totally Football podcast.
“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.”
Noble started the opening game of the season for the Hammers against Manchester United, and was the first player to be substituted during the 4-0 defeat, coming off on the hour mark for youngster Declan Rice.
