West Ham keep players waiting

West Ham are still keeping their options open on extending the contracts of current players and will wait until the very end of the season.

We asked directly this morning of the possibility that two veterans, Lukasz Fabianski and Angelo Ogbonna, may receive deals and received the reply: “It will be sorted out at the end of the season.”

We hope both get offered deals despite their advancing years!

Aaron Cresswell has already signed for a further yeat but we will have to wait on Fab and Oggy along, no doubt, with Ben Johnson and Manu Lanzini.

However, they must have a good chance as our key source added: “With Declan leaving we need some older pros in the dressing room.”

It would be a surprise were Manu to not move on should offers be received as he has been sorely under-used this season.

The problem with that is that, as a result, there has been little chance for clubs to see how good or indifferent he is right now so low offers are likely.

The same is of course true of Ben Johnson although his lack of playing time would appear to make him a strong possibility for the exit door.

Hopefully not though as CandH believes as he has much versatility  in a number of positions.
