Curbs Plays Down Gudjohnsen bid

Speaking after the signing of Kieron Dyer Alan Curbishley played down talk of West Ham signing Eidur Gudjohnsen,

"Eidur Gudjohnsen is not fit and is battling away to get fit, so there is nothing in it at the moment. He's a Barcelona player."

Curbs also had a little dig at Derby's accusations of tapping-up,

"We did inquire about Giles Barnes; we made an offer, and it was rejected. We are entitled to make bids for players. He's injured as well at the moment, and Derby want to keep him."
