West Ham co-chairman David Gold hints at permanent deal for Alex Song?

While responding to West Ham fans on Twitter, Gold agreed with a user who said that Song deserves to be given a permanent contract with the Premier League club.

"@Threeirons: @davidgold pls sign Mr Song on a permanent deal David - love his attitude and respect he's shown our club. Yes I agree. dg
