West Ham boss Curbishley: No wholesale squad changes

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley insists he won't make wholesale changes to his squad this summer.

Hammers chairman Eggert Magnusson would like to add three new "quality players" and keep hold of Carlos Tevez. That all comes with its own pressures, but its also brings an air of excitement to the club.

"The last time I had any money to spend was when I sold Scott Parker (to Chelsea from Charlton)," Curbishley laughed.

"But I am not saying I will sign 11 players and move everyone out. We have a strong squad here when they are all fit.

"Lucas Neill and Luis Boa Morte were the only players involved on the last day at Old Trafford who weren't here when I arrived.

"Danny Gabiddon was player of the year in 2006 and I missed him greatly. Matthew Upson and Dean Ashton have barely kicked a ball because of injury - that is £13million of talent.

"If there are players who can improve us, we will try to get them. If I can add to the squad I will but if nothing else happens until we kick off, I have a lot to work with."
