Rams to report Hammers for Tapping

Giles Barnes is not on his way to West Ham and Peter Gadsby could be reporting the Hammers to the FA

West Ham United have been given a warning by Rams Chairman Peter Gadsby. The hammers will be reported to the FA if rumours of a transfer to West Ham are unsettling Giles Barnes the Rams 19 year old midfielder.

The London side have reportedly put a bid of £3.5 million in for Giles Barnes, a figure which Gadsby regards as derisory. The Rams will also investigate to what extent the youngster has been tapped up. Any wrong doings by West Ham will result in an immediate phone call to the FA.

Gadsby went on to indicate that the days of plundering the Rams for cheap talent are over. Derby County are now on a secure financial footing after years of neglect by previous owners and will not be found as a soft touch for promising talent.
