Nottingham Forest have rejected a 'derisory' offer from Newcastle United for versatile defender James Perch.

The 24-year-old recently returned to action following a long lay-off due to shin problems and Forest boss Billy Davies is unhappy with the whole situation.

He told the club's official website: "We must be doing something right if other teams in our division want our players.

"But we are looking to build a squad at the City Ground rather than dismantle one and James is not leaving.

"Newcastle's offer for someone we value so highly as a player and an individual was derisory and I'm disappointed it made it into the public domain. That's not our way of doing business."
