Club reject West Ham offer Albion have again told West Ham United Graham Dorrans is not for sale after the Hammers’ second bid for the midfield star.  The Irons reportedly tabled an offer in the region of £4 million back in April and now have now increased their initial bid.  However the club has again insisted the Scottish international is not for sale at any price as Roberto Di Matteo looks to build his squad around the skilful 23-year-old.  Dorrans, who signed a new four year contract last season, scored 17 goals from midfield last season and was included in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.  As I have stressed several times since we achieved promotion, our aim is to retain our core players and try to strengthen our squad around them," sporting and technical director, Dan Ashworth insisted.  "I want to make it clear again that Graham Dorrans is not for sale. "Graham signed a new contract until June 2014 in January and he remains a key member of our squad."
