West Ham United have turned down the chance to take Olympique Lyon striker Milan Baros on-loan.
However, West Ham are extremely pleased with the make-up of their squad with the manager, Alan Curbishley, pointing out that through injuries, he has not come anywhere close to being able to field what would be his first-choice XI but has still managed to guide the club into a comfortable mid-table position.
Consequently they are understood to have also ruled out moves for their summer targets of Eidur Gudjohnsen and Adriano as they consolidate on what was a frantic summer.
