Zola knew nothing of Dorrans bid

Zola will not confirm his plans for the summer until the end of the season - but his relationship with David Sullivan and David Gold appears to have passed the point of no return. The Italian was stunned to learn that West Ham had lodged a £4million bid for West Brom and Scotland midfielder Dorrans - a player he had never even spoken about. And Zola was equally surprised when Sullivan revealed in an interview that every member of the Hammers squad had been put up for sale, bar Scott Parker. "I just found out in the newspapers. It was quite a surprise," he said. "I know he (Dorrans) is a good player and had a very good season but I didn't know the club was interested in him. "He is a good player but I am not prepared to say at the moment whether he would be in my interests for next year. "If I was Mark Noble or Robert Green or Valon Behrami I wouldn't be very pleased to hear that (I had been put up for sale). I didn't know. "It is not pleasant. You don't like it but this is the way it goes. "I have been surprised so many times this year - so I am not surprised that I am surprised."
