CPL Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If we get Ben Haim then no, too injury prone and i can see him under performing here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Brown - Taylor - Ben Haim - Baines TBH. Nah i dont really rate Brown as a RB, He's wasted there. We need a proper RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 don't really rate Brown that much, seems to be injury prone and makes blunders every so often. I'm sure Allardyce can find someone better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'd rather have a proper right back like, but for a few million he would be decent for now imo. Saying that, if Big Sam keeps on going at the rate he is at the minute, we'll have plenty of time to concentrate on finding a right back if he hasn't already.

Guest kmdnufc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Brown would be far better than Carr at right-back, but Brown is naturally a centre-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skryp2nit3 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It totally defeats the purpose of buying him if we're gonna play him at rightback, especially when we can have better natural right-backs from elsewhere. If we buy him it has to be for the centreback position, while covering for rightback during emergencies. And I believe he is more than capable of doing a good job for us at CB.

Yorkie Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It totally defeats the purpose of buying him if we're gonna play him at rightback, especially when we can have better natural right-backs from elsewhere. If we buy him it has to be for the centreback position, while covering for rightback during emergencies. Yup. And besides, did no one see him against Estonia? Christ. Clumsy's not the word. Still think, if we've got money to burn, we could get someone better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I wouldn't want him as I don't think he's that great. The other reason is that I could see Ferguson rubbing his hands at us paying 6 million-ish for a guy who probably will not play too many games next season because I've a feeling that Ferguson will want to give Jonny Evens some games after coming back from the Mackems. In fact I'd rather go for a young player like Evens (if he is any good) and recruit an older player like Thuram or Campbell who can organise the defence and show the youngsters how to defend. For me Wes Brown is just an average player and certainly not someone who will organise the defence. Reading this thread and also the one about fullbacks for me shows that people still have the same mind set before Ashley took over. If we’ve now got his financial backing then we should be looking at much better players than have been mentioned, for example in the other thread someone mentioned Geremi as a full back. We should be aiming much higher than that in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 he's the bramble of manu imo, and can only seem him get worse without being surrounded by vidic, ferdniand nevell and heinz. allerdyce is no sir alex either. definately a no go.

SAK Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 No thanks. Would be expensive and would command a big salary and not the greatest defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The free is apparently £5m. A joke considering his talent, his injury record and the fact his contract runs out in 12 months time. I'd take him for £2-3m max. BTW, i cant see him wanting to play at RB in our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 the opinion on him seems very split so I just wondered what a poll would show. Pretty even tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DazzaNufc1892 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 ok ok, il come out and say it, the player i know and usually give my news from man utd is darren fletcher. I also know eagles, evans, and richardson a little. When i gave the news that brown was being looked at, that came from the first name mentioned, however, since sams come in, that has apparently disappeared! if i hear anything else on this, i'll let you know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 He's an excellent centre back in my opinion, and could cover right back effectively enough. Would be a good signing I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were considerably less then they'd say less than £3m or £2m etc, i expect Manu are looking North of £4m, which is LESS than £5m, but still double what he is worth due to his contract, injuries & ability.

He's not the greatest player of all time, but he'd be a quality utility player who'd fill any holes the back line. If we could pick him up at a good price he'd be worth it, imo.

Cajun Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Brown is a good defender. £1.5m-£2m is laughable. How many English international defenders that play for the countries league champions and are 27 years old go for £1.5-2m? We sold Andy O'Brien for £2m!!
