Can we afford Wayne Brown?

The net is rife with reports confirming Charlton interest in Hull City centre-half Wayne Brown. The Board confirmed interest in a centre-half at this week's AGM and it's hardly a surprise since we have been operating with only two since the departure of Linvoy Primus and Jonathan Fortune sustained a bad-looking injury in Tuesday's victory over the Eagles.

Phil Brown is obviously aware of our desperation as he's saying we haven't met their valuation and he won't be leaving unless and until we do. Brown was bought from Colchester for £450,000 in 2007 and hasn't featured in the Tigers first team this year. He shouldn't be big money but any fee of this magnitude is likley to have forced a look elsewhere. Another loan looks a distinct possibility, especially when we are also in chronic need of someone to fire the goals we need for any survival bid. We have until midnight on Monday to sort something out.

  1. "We have been interested in Wayne Brown and we've been trying to do a deal for several weeks for that player but, as I speak the moment, it's still some way off.

    "If it's not Wayne Brown, we need to look elsewhere and get someone else in because of the urgency of our situation. I'd like to have brought Wayne to the club but we may have to move away from him and look at other targets.

    "It's frustrating but we can either feel sorry for ourselves or be pro-active and do something about it. We certainly need a player, if not two players in the building."
