West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green expects new teammate David di Michele to suffer a culture shock in their Carling Cup tie with Watford.

"It could be a real welcome to Championship football," said the former Norwich keeper. "It will be different for the new boys. I'm not sure it will be a welcome change - they'll come off with a few bruises.

"These guys possibly won't have come up against anything like it, but I'm sure it's going to be a bit of fun for them."
