Zola to stick with big names for Millwall clash
West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola insists he cannot afford to rest players for the Carling Cup clash against local rivals Millwall while the club works on targeting signings.
Zola's only senior frontline striker is Carlton Cole, with technical director Gianluca Nani and chief executive Scott Duxbury looking to add at least one more forward before the transfer window closes.
Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh has "rejected" a move to Upton Park but the Hammers are understood to still be working on the deal, while Lazio's Goran Pandev and Livorno's Alessandro Diamanti have been linked in Italy with playing for Zola.
For now, Zola is short on numbers ahead of what he expects to be hostile atmosphere when they face Millwall.
"If I rest players, I've got nobody to play with," he said. "I don't think we're in a position where we can rest many players. We will try to present a team that can do the job."
