England have got their man. Sam Allardyce has recently been announced as the new England manager as the FA look to bring more stability to the national side.
A disappointing and embarrassing end to Euro 2016 at the hands of Iceland was the final straw for Roy Hodgson after the so called ‘new generation’ failed to deliver at yet another major tournament.
With Allardyce coming into the role, just weeks off of being Sunderland’s saviour in the relegation battle with rivals Newcastle last season, new hope has been given to England fans across the country.
He may not be bringing exciting football to the side, but he will bring results and with that maybe a newer ‘new generation’ of stars to go to Russia in 2018.
With that being said, here are 3 surprising West Ham players Sam Allardyce who might get the nod in his England side.
Mark Noble

The fact that Mark Noble didn’t make it into Hodgson’s England side in favour of a recently returned Jack Wilshere surprised and shocked many fans.
The central midfield position was a tough one to break into for the Euro 2016 squad with Wilshere, Drinkwater, Dier and Ali all fighting for their spot however Noble would not have looked out of place in that side, should he have gotten the nod.
This is a man who has played more Premier League games for West Ham than any other player to ever don the legendary Hammers’ kit.
The 29 -ear old is a very capable and experienced player, he’s just never been given the chance at international level and he’s running out of time to have his chance for the national side.
A surprising addition he would definitely be to Big Sam’s side, but not a bad one by any stretch.
Reece Oxford

One of England’s brightest young stars, Reece Oxford is a man on the rise. The 17 year old centre back is the youngest player to ever play for West Ham, debuting for The Hammers’ at 16 years and 198 days old last year.
His performances for the West Ham and England under-21s have already turned a few heads, with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal all sending scouts to watch him play, until the teenager signed a contract extension, committing his future to the club.
Despite being the youngest player in the side, Oxford captained the West Ham under-21s on numerous occasions which really tells you all you need to know about the player.
He’s tall, quick and a leader. A valuable asset to any side and one that Sam Allardyce could nurture into a world class talent one day.
Andy Carroll

Despite bringing the two top goal scorers in the league to Euro 2016, England seriously struggled to find the net. Big Sam is a more conventional manager, he’s old school which means he can utilise a striker like Andy Carroll very effectively.
One of Roy Hodgson’s main problems during his time as England manager, was he never seemed 100% sure on how he was going to line his side up, from who to play all the way down to the formation he was going to use.
Big Sam knows how to grind out a result, he already knows what formation he will be bringing to the side, most likely a flat 442.
As I said, not exciting football but it will get the side results and Carroll could be a big part of those results if Allardyce decides to bring him back to the national side.
He will bring a different threat to England’s attack, we have pace in Vardy, we have just a straight up goal scorer in Harry Kane, we have no real aerial threat or strength in the the box for set pieces.
