West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is pleased with their loan signing of Barcelona midfielder Alex Song.
Allardyce was happy to confirm the news after a dismal defeat to Southampton.
"I hope he can bring a bit of leadership as well as his quality play," Allardyce said.
"The lads are not opening their mouth enough. They all talk about what they should do before the game in the dressing room and in training, but when they go out on the pitch they don't talk to each other. It is clear that their communication is zero.
"Somebody has got to get a grip and open their mouth. If it is a short corner get someone out there. It is not difficult for someone to look around and organise the team. It doesn't appear that anyone is analysing what the situation is and not have the desperate defending that we had.
"Having spoken to him he looks a leader to me and kick a few backsides on the field. If they are not playing as well as they should do he will get them motivated."
