With Alex Song returning, do West Ham have a selection problem?

With the imminent return of Alex Song into the West Ham squad Slaven Bilic may have some problems choosing the central midfielders.

I don’t think that Slaven will change the system as we are doing very well with it and are currently third however he might have to think twice about the two players he does play in central midfield.

Mark Noble

He’s West Ham through and through. He came up through the academy and has recently been given the responsibility of club captain by Bilic himself. However some people have been saying that Noble has been our weakest link so far this season so will he get a spot.

Cheikhou Kouyate

The Senegalese tank. Kouyate joined West Ham in 2014 since then the defensive midfielder has played 38 games scoring 7 goals. However he isn’t known for his attacking performances. Kouyate likes to sit in front of the defense and protect the centre half’s. A very important role in our team.

Pedro Obiang

Obiang joined us at the start of this season and hasn’t had much game time so far. He has come on as a sub quite a few times and has proved to Bilic that he can change the game for the better if he needs to. However he doesn’t yet have the experience in my opinion to beat Kouyate, Noble and Song to a place.

Alex Song

Song returns for his second loan deal at the hammers. He hasn’t yet played this season as he is returning from injury. Even though Noble and Kouyate have done so well in midfield in the first quarter of this season can you really turn down a player who’s won La Liga, the English league cup and many more.

It’s a tough decision for Slaven Bilic but I believe he will make the right decisions.
