    The ONLY thing he lacked for me was his finishing. Not at all surprised West Ham want to keep him.

    I could see Pellegrini playing him as a holding midfielder - breaking up attacks and distributing to the more creative players, in the Kante mould.

    I'm sort of surprised with the money we've been spending, but with Kouyate & Obiang likely to be sold, then he'll get chances. Pellegrini likes a technical player, and has seen Josh in a couple of friendlies and must see a squad place for him. Long term, could be Noble's replacement.
    On the other hand, Sky aren't always right

    I've long thought he could be Noble's eventual replacement. He has the engine, the tackling, the vision and the passing. His ball retention skills are excellent. He lacks Noble's scoring ability but if played deeper that's not such a big issue.

    Might explain Reeves' absence, I'll pop down to Rush Green tomorrow and have a look

    What does Pellegrini know, after all he's never managed in the EFL

    chuffed for Cullen, it's quite a thing for him to win over Pellegrini who probably didn't have the foggiest who he was when he took the job.
    he always looked a class act, and despite the widely held Park Bantam belief that Reeves was a vast upgrade on him it was never anywhere near true. Cullen was always playing below his true level at VP and we were lucky to have him.
    he was always PL class in my mind.

    hope to see him get some minutes this season.

    some of the plays and runs he made really went unnoticed I remember a match in his second spell where he basically took 4 players out of the game with one move and should have had a penalty.. unfortunately too many fans just look at goals and assists and think that's the marker of a player

    Always knew he was playing well below his level down in League 1. Was expecting him to play for a decent Championship club as I thought he’d be well suited there, but it would be no major surprise if he is to be on the fringes of the West Ham first team.

    I remember people criticising him on Claret & Banter saying he couldn’t shoot though :rolleyes:

    Maybe he could get a call up to the Ireland first team some time soon if he gets game time at West Ham? He’s been very well regarded for his role in the Ireland Under 21s.

    The central midfield area is currently a weak area for England at the moment if Ireland don’t call him up quick enough ;)

    Nah. We just need somebody really tall with some presence. Apparently it's not essential that they are any good or not.
