Mark Noble has urged West Ham United management not to sell Scott Parker.
Parker bagged a last-minute Carling Cup winner against Oxford United on Tuesday to lift the gloom over Upton Park.
Team-mate Noble said: "We need to keep him for the sake of everything.
"Scott and I have played in central midfield in the last couple of games and I've really enjoyed it. We bounce off each other. It's like being telepathic and it's great to have that understanding.
"Now we need to strengthen the squad, there's no doubt about it."
