Behrami out to silence critics

West Ham midfielder Valon Behrami is eager to return to full fitness in order to silence critics who have questioned his commitment. The Switzerland international saw a transfer to Roma fall through in the summer and at the time he admitted his disappointment that he did not move to Italy.Behrami then suffered a knee ligament injury in mid-September and is working at West Ham's Chadwell Heath training ground to regain 100 per cent fitness.The 25-year-old was an unused substitute against Wolves last weekend as he edges towards a return, but it has still been questioned whether he wants to be at West Ham.Behrami, though, told his club's official website: "It is very important for me to get back to playing. A lot of things have been written and said. "The only place I can prove my commitment is on the pitch and I am here for that. I have maybe only played 90 minutes this season in two games. "I don't want to be seen to be always talking about it. I want to demonstrate what I can do for the team."West Ham fans are passionate. They are here to see the team getting better and whoever plays, they get behind. "If I play and provided I give 100 per cent, they will be happy. If not, they will let me know and that is right."
