This summer could see as many of sixteen departures from the current squad as Graham Potter looks to reshape West Ham
Evan Ferguson and Carlos Soler loan spells will end this summer with little to no chance of permanent deals.
The following players will also be end of contract in June.
Danny Ings, Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, Michail Antonio, Lukaz Fabianski and Kurt Zouma will all be out of contract with maybe short- term contracts perhaps offered to Fabianski and Coufal but no guarantees. Nayef Aguerd will return after his season long loan.
Mohammed Kudus is 99% sure to leave this summer to fund more incoming players for Potter and Lucas Paqueta is likely to join him outbound if found innocent if not we will lose him through a life ban anyway.
Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, Guido Rodiguez, Jean-Clair Todibo, Niclas Fullkrug and Maximilian Kilman are all available to be sold if valuations are met by other clubs as part of Potter’s summer rebuild.
In my opinion, most of the players on that list will go for next to nothing; & even players like Todibo, Kudus, Paqueta, Kilman, Soucek & Fullkrug will realise a lot less than we hope for. Not happy days for West Ham !
I this was The Apprentice, Brady would be telling Lord Sugar just how crap she is and how he needs to sack her. They have driven this club into the dirt.

i can play as a 10, but mostly used on either wing. i can take corners and the occasional free kick. have played everywhere on the pitch except at the centre of defence as i have the physique of a pencil (see Rihad Mahrez). wing- back is also an option. i have the lungs of a blue whale and will play until the lights are turned off. also still have some good speed in my pedals. the other team hate me, as tend to function as a 2nd referee as well. i’m only 58, so Silly will see that as up-and-coming with a good sell-on fee. main thing is that i bleed claret and blue and am available on a free. just a suggestion 🤷♂️
* oh, also as a 2nd striker in 4-4-2 🤣😂🤣😂

When we left Upton Park we were promised world class facilities, world class players and managers and challenging regularly for the Champions League. Instead we’re having a fire sale of players just like when we got relegated with Roder. So what happened to the just 4 players needed that was reported on this site a few days ago. If we’re having to have 16 player fire sale what was the point of leaving Upton Park. Serious questions need to be asked about Sullivan and Brady’s incompetence and mismanagement of this club that after all these years of 60 thousand attendance, years in Europe, top ten finishes West Ham are so poor we need a fire sale of our better players then something has gone seriously wrong at board room and ownership level. Next level clubs do not have a 16 player fire sale. So next season a midfield of the handbrake JWP and Soucek really makes you want to renew your season tickets. Serious questions need to be asked about Sullivan and Brady’s mismanagement here because this is shambolic and wrong.
Maybe we can join a 5 a side league, won’t be many players left
Usual undecidedness.
Permutations between 4 &16.
More that go bigger problem is going to be as it just doesn’t work.
Cooper tried it at Forest and players couldn’t remember each others names didn’t take long before he departed.
Took Chelsea 10 months after recruiting many players results just didn’t happen fortunately they had Cole Palmer.
They’re going to need some kind of meet in the middle resolution.
Experience cannot be completely lost as academy players are going to need guidance.
Accepting poor deals for existing players is negative logic.
We’re on a slippery slide with more and more wanted players declaring whu are a no go area.
Recent results have been disastrous and hardly appealing.
Only 16
So Kilman and Todibo can go but Mav will stay? Bit of an alarming prospect if true. And somewhat confusing considering this site reported a few days ago that we were not doing a full rebuild but only bringing 4 in.
I’m 68 born and bred in Humberstone ( check it on the map it couldnt be much closer to Upton Park) and been going since I could walk.
And quite frankly I couldn’t give a monkeys cuss anymore.
Sean is being kind and trying to be unsensational. Truth of the numbers is that it could be nearer 40 if we include all the first team squad together with loanees. Even more if we add in the youth teams.
Sean has been gentle with us. Near certainty that the next list will include names of more current employees.
