West Ham United's co-owner, David Sullivan, has warned that Scott Parker is the only player the club would not consider selling during a summer shake-up at Upton Park.

 

Sullivan, along with his boardroom colleague David Gold, is beginning preparations for a busy off-season in the transfer market after the club effectively ensured their Premier League survival with Saturday's 3-2 win over Wigan Athletic. They have already made a written bid in the region of £4m for midfielder Graham Dorrans, which was turned down by West Brom today.

 

"Other than Scott Parker, there is not a player we wouldn't sell if it was the right bid," said Sullivan. "Scott will not be sold and we will be buying more than we are selling. There will be no fire-selling and we will enhance the squad, not diminish it.

 

"We will have to shake up the pack because there is no point kidding ourselves otherwise we will be in the same position next year – the table doesn't lie."

 

But, while he expressed a wish to keep the captain, Matthew Upson, Sullivan made no such guarantees over the former Birmingham City defender – or, for that matter, his international colleagues Robert Green and Carlton Cole.

 

"We will make [upson] a proposal for a new three-year contract," he said. "We would give him an offer of a comparable level to what he is on now, which he may or may not want to take.

 

"But Upson has a year to go so if we get a good offer we will take it."

Him and the other prick have been on SSN everyday since they took over, whinging about players, undermining the manager, the lot, they're absolute weapons.

i wonder do they think that has a positive effect on squad and club morale? or perhaps they don't give a f*** now that they've got their own london club that they always wanted.

they only bought it because they thought they were going to get the olympic stadium

Apparently Zola has said he wants nothing to do with the summer buys. Not quite what you'd expect from someone planning to stay at the club...

[Maldini]

Collison, Noble and Behrami are decent players

I am going to the West Ham end of season dinner - next Tuesday.

I see it's been brought forward in celebration

[yellow jumper]

collison would be worth looking at. although i think he's been kept away from central midfield areas at west ham, for some reason. also has had injury problems. maybe the two things are linked.

Dunno, maybe it's because of all the players going out on World Cup duty straight after PL finishes....

Worth asking Scott Parker if he fancies comming up to Liverpool instead?

I like Behrami, Rafa's type of player

 

hard working, non scoring midfielder

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Yeah, but he did give the world the Daily Sport - or something

[matty]

They suit that club down to the ground. Cockernee gobsh*tes with an unjustified sense of the their own importance.

 

Did Booby Moore die for that?

[Knox_Harrington]

They are right c****. I'd love a bit of Scotty Parker.

quite like the look of junior stanislas too from what i've seen of him.

[Kahnee]

And now Zola has admitted he didn't know about the fire sale or the bid for that Baggies midfielder.

 

McLeish to West Ham in the summer?

McLeish to West Ham in the summer?

 

Why would he do that? Birmingham have got a fair bit to spend haven't they? ignoring them already having a much better side.

Have Brum got the money though? The owner is being chased for a couple of million and the promised £20m to £40m January spree never happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the next Portsmouth.

I don't think they've overspent the way Portsmouth did but I've always thought their supporters were in for a nasty shock about their owners and still reckon that is how it is panning out.
