West Brom boss Tony Mowbray has warned Kevin Phillips, Zoltan Gera and Martin Albrechtsen he 'won't budge' on their contract offers.The trio are out of contract in the summer but as yet have been unable to reach an agreement which would extend their spells at The Hawthorns.

Phillips, who netted 24 goals as the Baggies reached the FA Cup semi-finals and won promotion to the Premier League, has reportedly been offered a two-year contract by QPR, with Stoke also rumoured to be interested.

Gera, meanwhile, is being chased by Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton, Middlesbrough and Benfica.

But Mowbray is standing firm, and insists the club will not improve the terms on the table just because the trio's agents are 'hawking them around'.

"For me, it should never be about money," the Albion boss told the Daily Mirror.

"We're not in the business of them going out and checking the rest of the world, coming back with their best offer and asking us to beat it - we don't operate like that.

"Our offers will stay the same, but can only remain on the table for a certain amount of time as we have to start knowing if we need to fill places.

"They will be offered the best contract this club can offer. Their agents know that and if they want to hawk them around and get a better price and salary package, we won't be budging."

"The squad is what everyone must respect. We won't be bursting the bank for any single player," added Mowbray. "I've seen it happen and it can be bad for a dressing room.

"We won't be breaking structures, it's that simple as I want to be fair to the other players.

"If they get better packages out of our ball park and want to ply their trade elsewhere for more money, then good luck to them."
