ascender 352 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The local gossip is that Brown would have signed for us on deadline day if Hibs hadn't beaten St Johnstone. He is definitely a bear, but has made no secret of the fact that he does want to play in the Premiership one day. He is young, so maybe that will persuade him to come to us for a few years and then have a go down south. As for the fee, I know Hibs are supposedly very unhappy with Celtic over the Riordan deal, so that's in our favour. What's not in our favour is that 4M to any club in the Premiership is nothing. We just can't compete with that now which is pretty depressing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 hibs offered riordan on a plate to celtic so we wouldnt get him. But did they then not screw Hibs over on the deal in terms of the number of games played thing? That was mentioned as the reason why the Celtic bid for Thomson was turned down but ours was accepted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we will get him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Various places are reporting today that Celtic are close to signing Brown for 4.4M. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Even the story changes half through with it being a done deal in the first paragraph then the author(s) giving themselves a get out clause hy saying there was a mystery. Fact is, if the fee bandied about is now around £5million I'm glad we're not paying it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 As mentioned I cant see this being concrete and its far too high a fee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The signs are not looking good on Brown coming to us, but whatever happens I hope to fook he doesn't go to THEM. For �£5M they can have him. Not worth that IMO and a whack of money wasted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
