Burnley go back to West Ham for Stanislas

Last updated : 23 August 2011 By Tony Scholes

Stanislas can operate either as a winger or as a central striker and has come through the youth system at West Ham.

He made his first team bow during a loan spell with Southend in the 2008/09 season and such were his performances, particularly in two FA Cup games against Chelsea, that he soon won a place in the West Ham side.

That debut came against West Brom at the Boleyn Ground when he came on as a substitute for Savio and he scored his first goal soon after, the first in a 2-0 home win against Sunderland.

He scored the second of West Ham's five against us in the Premier League and came on as a sub in the return game at Turf Moor. He didn't play in last season's cup tie having been ruled out for the season in January because of a hernia problem.

He's made just one appearance this season, as a substitute against Doncaster Rovers.
