Baggies turn down fresh Greening bid

24 July 2009 12:03
West Brom have rejected a new and improved £4million bid from Fulham for captain Jonathan Greening. Albion's resolve is a sure sign of their determination to hold on to the 30-year-old midfielder, who handed in a written transfer request earlier this month. Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson has already hit out after Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace labelled the Premier League club's first offer - £2m plus a player - as "derisory". He would have been further disheartened when Albion turned down a second bid of £3.25m on Monday. The latest developments leave the saga at a crossroads, with Hodgson facing a decision over how much he is prepared to pay to get his man or whether to start looking elsewhere for midfield reinforcements. Greening has already made it clear he will happily remain at The Hawthorns if an offer does not come in that matches the club's valuation.
