I received this email from AdamWHUR last week, but didn’t unfortunately get round to posting because I was already running my poll. However, here’s how Adam values our current squad…do you agree?

(please bear in mind that this was sent to me before we played Fulham and before Spurs beat City last night to qualify for the Champions League)

Well it’s been a tough few weeks, but we can all rest, relax and enjoy the rest of the season now after Sunderland and Liverpool have done us a favour by killing off the competition of Premier League survival, but it was mainly Scott Parker who we can really thank for the goal that has kept us up. I count ourselves very lucky to be in this league as we have performed well under par, however so have the teams below us and it seems we’ve dodged the administrational bullet!

We can now look forward to a tough away battle at Fulham and a relaxed end of season fixture that could see Tottenham lose their “deserved” champions league place. Regarding that last home fixture, it’ll probably be the last time you see that starting 11 playing over Upton Park and possibly another manager in charge. As you full well know that in the news Gold and Sullivan have expressed their desires to rebuild the era at West Ham, by cutting the squad completely… except Parker, who at 29, has “several years” left on his contract, is that as a manager as well, because I can’t really see him playing for another 7 years! “Everyone has a price” say the West Ham owners… so I’ve managed to roughly give the players their valuation at the club from performances of this season. There maybe some discrepancy but I think I’ve hit a pretty accurate price.

Green £5m

Upson £3m

Tomkins £3m

Faubert £4m

Spector £1m

Gabbidon £2m

Da Costa £3m

Illunga £2m

Daprela £2m

Behrami £6m

Noble £5m

Collison £6m

Kovac £1.5m

Stanislas £3.5m

Boa Morte £2m

Dyer £1m

Diamanti £8m

Franco – Free

Ilan – Free

Cole £12m

Sears £2m

Hines £4m

McCarthy £1.5m

Totalling £77.5M, it’s alot of money to play about with and alot of wages deducted. Unless they sign a contract at 40% they are normally on.

Today West Ham are already looking towards rebuilding with venturing the pursuit of West Brom’s midfield dynamo Graeme Dorrans. The WBA hitman has grabbed 17 goals from the midfield and been named in the championship best 11 of the season. At the ripe age of 22 he seems a great buy for the club and a great foundation to build off with Parker.

Personally I don’t want to see Noble, Diamanti, Hines, Tomkins, Stanislas and Collison go, but rumours has it that all these players have had bids received my other clubs already.

Keep the faith Hammers, do some scouting to see who you want at the club. Who will be a great impact signing for half the price we already pay out!
