Zola revealed that he has targeted 52 points for fourth spot and with the 1-0 win at Stoke on Saturday taking the club to 48 points, Europe is on the horizon.[LNB]"I still believe 52 points will still make it," said Zola, whose team is one point better off than Manchester City, Fulham and Tottenham. "I am sure that the club is going to be ready to face the challenge and trust me, we don't need much investment in what we have."[LNB] Related ArticlesFA look at Stoke troubleWest Ham look to EuropeStoke City 0 West Ham United 1West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola opens gates to public for trainingArsenal in line for Matthew Upson bid as West Ham look to EuropeWest Ham manager Gianfranco Zola targeting Sergio FloccariWest Ham face Liverpool at Upton Park on Saturday night then go to Everton before finishing with another home game, against Middlesbrough.[LNB]Zola is still waiting for the club's future to be determined, but believes he will still be able to bring a small number of players into what he regards is an already accomplished squad.[LNB]"We have a good base here. Of course, if we qualify and play in Europe it will be more important to have a bigger squad so that might be a possibility.[LNB]"Don't forget the most difficult job this year was to get the base right. In my opinion, it is going to be easier to do something in the future. I believe that it won't be necessary to have big spending but some players I am sure the club will consider buying.[LNB]"I don't know how much money I will have to spend, but, I've been assured if we need to get a couple of players, or three players, to improve the squad they will  so that is enough for me."[LNB][LNB]
