Albion reject Dorrans offer

Last updated : 27 April 2010 By Wba-mad Editor

Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has turned down West Ham’s written formal offer for Graham Dorrans – believed to be in the region of £4 million.  The Baggies supremo has insisted that Scottish starlet Dorrans would not be sold in the summer after Albion secured promotion. 

Peace has again reaffirmed his unwillingness to cash in on his prize asset in an official statement after the derisory offer from the Hammers.

"As I have stressed several times since we achieved promotion over two weeks ago, our aim now is to retain our core players and try to strengthen our squad around them,” Peace said.

"I want to make it clear again that Graham Dorrans is not for sale."  

The former Livingston man has enjoyed a fantastic season at the Hawthorns firing 17-goals from midfield and was recently included in the PFA Championship side of the Year by his fellow professionals.
