Dorrans unmoved by Hammers interest
West Brom midfielder Graham Dorrans insists his head was never turned by West Ham's persistent pursuit of him.[LNB] The 23-year-old attracted three unsuccessful bids this summer from the Hammers, who narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season. [LNB]But Dorrans put an abrupt end to their chase when he signed a new contract at the Hawthorns earlier this week, which effectively commits him to Albion until 2015. [LNB]All of West Ham's three offers were below Baggies' valuation, but Dorrans insists he never had any interest in a move to Upton Park. [LNB]"It doesn't really have an effect," Dorrans told the Birmingham Mail. [LNB]"I was just coming in every day and concentrating on training like anyone else would have done.[LNB]"Until anyone mentioned anything to me that was all I could do, and at the end of the day I was contracted to the club. My mind was always here and I was always focused on coming in and training, getting fit and getting pre-season done. [LNB]"There was no reaction to the bids either. I knew I was coming in here to train every day and I always had a contract here.[LNB]"About a week or two before we went to Holland (for West Brom's pre-season training camp) it was basically agreed and it was just about getting the papers written up. [LNB]"The contract came over to Holland and I signed it while I was over there."
