As it stands, West Ham have a total of eight players out of contract next June. They are.
Jussi Jaaskelainen
Raphael Spiegel
Guy Demel
Winston Reid
Mark Noble
Morgan Amalfitano
Ricardo Vaz Te
Carlton Cole
Of that lot, I am not bothered about Jaaskelainen, Spiegel, Demel, Vaz Te and Cole. As far as I am concerned they are using up wages that could be better spent else where.
I'd like to new deals offered to, and signed by Winston Reid, Mark Noble and Morgan Amalfitano.
I think it is a given Mark Noble will be offered a new deal before the end of the season. He loves the club.
Some reports seem to suggest Morgan Amalfitano is to be offered another year on his existing contract having impressed those at the club since his arrival in the Summer. Again in some reports the player has stated he wants to stay at Upton Park passed the end of the season.
Articles this morning seem to suggest Winston Reid is set to sign a contract extension that'll keep him at West Ham until 2019.
If those three deals come off and we ship out the deadwood mentioned above I'll be a very happy hammer. Just need to sign up Jenkinson and Song on permanent deals and bring in a couple more quality players next Summer.
Onwards and Upwards!!! COYI
Really do hope Reid signs but I don't think he is going to. Come Jan he will have interest and know that in summer he can pursue that interest, because while the club doesn't pay a transfer fee of 5m-10m they can afford to put him on 100k a week or a huge signing on fee instead. Seems he is only motivated by money, doesn't really care about the club, even though we are flying at the moment. Noble is a funny one, I didn't know his contract was up in the summer! Question marks as to why he hasn't been extended yet in that case? He is good enough for West Ham there's no doubt about that, plus his loyalty is second to none! Amalfitano should really get an extension but will obv start only a handful of games, good sub option though. Loving life as a hammers fan at the moment but there seems to be a few creases still that everyone seems to be forgetting through all these good performances and good fortune coming our way
