WEST Ham boss Alan Pardew insists no players will be leaving the club when the Premiership transfer window re-opens tomorrow.

Hammers travel to league leaders Ipswich with the rumour mill already hinting at the departure of Mattie Etherington (Birmingham) and Nigel Reo-Coker (Celtic).

But Pardew is adamant there will be no sales that would weaken his promotion-chasing squad's chances of returning to the top flight.

"The best figures we would get for our players won't be anything like the £25million that promotion would be worth," he said.

"There is speculation about Mattie, Marlon Harewood and Nigel but I certainly don't see any reason for us to sell them.

"In those cases they will not be going from this club during the transfer window.

"We need our best players if we are going to get promoted."
