As it stands at the moment, there are nine players whose contracts expire at the end of this season. Those players are.

Jussi Jääskeläinen
Raphael Spiegel
Winston Reid
Guy Demel
Mark Noble
Ravel Morrison
Morgan Amalfitano
Ricardo Vaz Tê
Carlton Cole

Personally, I am happy to see Jussi Jääskeläinen, Raphael Spiegel, Guy Demel, Ricardo Vaz Tê and Carlton Cole leave. With a bit of luck a couple of Championship clubs might come in and nab one or two of them in January, giving us some funds to spend.

Ravel Morrison is on the fence at the moment. If he can sort himself out between now and the end of the season, and he isn't found guilty when his court case takes place next February, then I'd like him to be given a chance. If not, cut our losses and let him leave.

I'd like to see Winston Reid and Mark Noble given long term contract extensions.

I'd also like to see Morgan Amalfitano given another year long deal.



Now with regards to incoming transfers next Summer, there are some good players available for free that we should look at (admittedly, some of these players are unlikely to join West Ham, but as the saying goes, if you don't ask you don't get).

Neto - GK - 25 years old - Fiorentina
Fabian Schär - CB - 22 years old - FC Basel
Stefan Reinartz - CB - 25 years old - Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Jon Flanagan - RB - 21 years old - Liverpool
Fabian Delph - CM - 24 years old - Aston Villa
André Ayew - W - 24 years old - Marseille
Yevhen Konoplyanka - W - 24 years old - Dnipro
Adama Traore - W - 18 years old - Barcelona
Khouma Babacar - F - 21 years old - Fiorentina
Connor Wickham - F - 21 years old - Sunderland
Danny Ings - F - 22 years old - Burnley


I think Alex Song is a must. He has been a revelation in our midfield and has played a big part in the team this season. I appreciate a deal to sign him will probably cost us a large portion of our transfer fund, but if we can get this deal done early. like we did with the Valencia deal this Summer, I'd be delighted.

I'd also like to see us put in a cheeky bid for Yohan Cabaye. I think he would be an equally impressive signing as Song this season.
