If Parker wants to leave, let him.
Championshit or not, West Ham are still one of the biggest and most talked about clubs in the world. The fans deserve better than someone pissing around and placing emphasis on their international career rather than the club that has invested so much in them.
When I saw Parker run out in the starting eleven on August 7th, he couldn't have looked more horseshoe, and as the game wore on, he couldn't have played with less conviction. The torch had dimmed. The spark was gone.
If Parker would rather give up the adoration of the Boleyn faithful for one season, two at best, to stagnate at Joke City, then let him, but he needs to make a decision and fast because the average Hammer who's cut their arm off to pay for a season ticket ain't half getting sick of the 'rumours' regarding who he's been linked with and how much they want for him.
So let's take the pressure from Crapello out of the equation for a moment and ask Scotty straight up: If you're staying, let's have some committment; if you're going, hurry up sod off then because we deserve a bit of respect.
This is for you Scotty. Think on. 'Cos like old Mick says, 'this indecision's bugging me'.
