Allardyce - No bids for trio
Green, Cole and Parker all linked with returns to Premier League
West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has insisted the club have yet to receive any formal offers for Robert Green, Carlton Cole or Scott Parker.
The England trio are expected to leave the Hammers this summer following their relegation to the Championship.
Allardyce accepts that some of his squad will want to be playing top-flight football next season, but insists no offers have been forthcoming as yet.
Parker has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Cole with Stoke City and Green with Aston Villa.
Concrete bids
"The speculation is around Rob Green, Carlton Cole and Scott Parker, and at the moment we haven't had any concrete bids for those players," he said. "Other than that there is no rush to sell anyone else.
"We will probably look at moving some of the players on because their desire is to play in Premier League.
"From a financial point of view, it suits us to lose that financial commitment because the drastic loss in revenue [following relegation] is what we all have to face at West Ham; certainly the owners, who've got to really back up with their own money to help us try to get back in the Premier League.
"We will try and get as good a squad as we can. There's some very good players at the club. If we all want to work together and go in the right direction, we can give it our best shot and hopefully that will be enough next season."
