Allardyce reveals Warnock terms
Blackburn Rovers, 09:44, August 23, 2009 ,
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has insisted defender and Aston Villa target Stephen Warnock will not be sold on the cheap.
The Rovers boss revealed former Liverpool full-back Warnock was left out the squad that lost 2-1 against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday because he had "struggled to focus on this game".
Villa Park manager Martin ONeill has been linked with an £8m move for Warnock before September 1 but Allardyce insisted he had not yet received an offer that would tempt him into selling.
Allardyce said: "He is at home because he struggled to focus on this game and didn't feel that mentally he was capable enough of giving his best, so we both took the decision to leave him back at Ewood.
"There have been no developments on the transfer front, but he didn't feel and I didn't feel that it was the right thing to do to play him."
Asked if Warnock could leave before the transfer window closes, Allardyce said: "We will wait and see what next week brings, but we haven't had anything near a bid we could consider to be enough, so he is still our player and I envisage that he still will be our player."
