The rebuilding cannot start soon enough for a club set to witness an exodus of talent

West Ham United: What happens next, player by player

Offers expected



Robert Green (valuation £2m), goalkeeper, age 30

Pilloried after blunder for England v USA, he recovered form in the winter. Aston Villa are thought to be interested

Scott Parker (valuation £10m), midfielder, age 30

Talismanic midfielder who was named footballer of the year. Likely to go to Tottenham after their long courtship

Carlton Cole (valuation £5m), striker, age 27

England international who has looked out of sorts this season. Never scores enough goals and tries the fans' patience

Demba Ba (valuation £1.5m), striker, age 25

Has scored seven goals since joining in January and will leave, possibly to Fulham or Stoke City, if he can pass a medical

Mark Noble (valuation £3.5m), midfielder, age 24

Energetic midfielder who brought drive to the midfield when partnered with Parker. Difficult to replace

James Tomkins (valuation £3.5m), defender, age 22

Accomplished centre-half who has the composure and confidence to shine. Will attract offers from mid-table sides

Thomas Hitzlsperger (valuation £2m), midfielder, age 29

Reported to have agreement that he can leave after relegation. Did well when he made late debut in February after injury

Out of contract



Matthew Upson, defender, age 32

The club captain was desperate to leave after two poor seasons and the owners have questioned his commitment

Danny Gabbidon, defender, age 31

Hammer of the Year in 2005-06, his stock has fallen since and was fined by the FA for abusing Twitter 'haters'

Kieron Dyer, midfielder, age 32

Alan Curbishley's £6m folly, whose £70,000 weekly wages and frequent absences have made David Sullivan rage

Jonathan Spector, defender, age 25

Ostensibly a defender where he has often appeared shaky. Improved in a midfield destroyer role later on

Lars Jacobsen, defender, age 31

Denmark right-back who joined on a free in August. A solid performer not helped by absence of O'Neil who offered cover

Zavon Hines, striker, age 22

Quick, agile forward who came back after 10 months out following knee surgery. Should not cost the earth to keep

Want to lose



Luis Boa Morte, midfielder, age 33

Out of contract at the end of last season having played one game. Boardroom geniuses gave him a two-year deal

Radoslav Kovac, midfielder, age 31

Former Czech international midfielder who seems to shrink on the field in anaemic displays of sideways passing

Julien Faubert, defender, age 27

Signed during Alan Curbishley's 2007 spree, he lost the pace and confidence to thrive on wing and retreated to full-back

Manuel da Costa, defender, age 25

Strong but erratic centre-half with a year to go at the club. He has the presence to be a decent Championship player

Herita Ilunga, defender, age 29

Impressed under Gianfranco Zola but sidelined since Christmas by Avram Grant. Under contract until 2013

Winston Reid, defender, age 22

Good for New Zealand at the World Cup but has looked out of his depth at Upton Park, timid and positionally lax

Want to keep



Jack Collison, midfielder, age 21

Dynamic, box-to-box Wales midfielder who has just returned to first-team duty after 14 months out with a knee injury

Jordan Spence, defender, age 20

Former England Under-17 and U-18 captain. A ball-playing centre-half who has been likened to Rio Ferdinand

Freddie Sears, striker, age 21

Skilful, tenacious forward who operates on the right of a front three. Ended a three-year goal drought against Wolves

Frédéric Piquionne, striker, age 32

Fast, hard-running forward with six league goals but has also shown a lack of composure when chances fall to him

Gary O'Neil, midfielder, age 27

Impressed on the right after January transfer from Middlesbrough. Bad ankle injury will keep him out until October

Loanees returning



Robbie Keane, striker, age 30

His proposed £6m transfer from Tottenham was torpedoed by relegation. Missed a sitter against Blackburn

Victor Obinna, striker, age 24

Avram Grant said he 'could be West Ham's Dennis Bergkamp' but he returns to Inter with only three league goals

Wayne Bridge, defender, age 30

Improved after dreadful start in 3-0 defeat by Arsenal. Returns to Man City where he has a contract until June 2013
