No Thank You Whelan

According to The Independent West Ham have turned down an offer from Wigan for Matthew Etherington. Wigan apparently offered £3 million for the winger but the offer was met with incredulity at West Ham after the ridiculous posturing of Whelan over recent weeks.

The paper says that West Ham do want to offload Etherington, but will want more than £3 million from Wigan. If I was Magnusson I would sell Ethers for £5.5 million and tell Whelan exactly where his money was going.
