He's almost certainly better than any option we currently have at right back. He's no better than Wilko, infact I'd pick Wilko over him if I didn't want to conceed. What has Brown done to make you say that, he's right down the pecking order. He's won lots of things. He played 40+ games the year they won the league and Champions League. At right back. You don't win league titles carrying passengers. He's probably not quite good enough for Man Yoo or England but that's not to say he isn't good enough for us. The concerns are over his injuries and whether he has the hunger, but he'd get into most sides from about 6th downwards I reckon.

Think he'd of been decent before but I reckon Wilko is good enough now he has a couple of prem seasons under his belt. How many league games did we go without conceeding again with a back 4 of Wilko shawcross Huth Higgy, was it 12?
12 league games without conceeding, our defence is sound, we are in need of quality in midfield and we're on about signing defenders, typical Pulis.

We need defenders as well. We need cover at centre back and at least one full back. Agree that left back is probably more of a priority though.

Yeah but why all the publicity for Bellamy and defenders but nothing for midfielders? It should be our number 1 priority, if you did a poll on here an overwhelming majority would say that CM needs strengthening first and fore most, so why arn't we? How many points do we have to be dominated in midfield by average teams before we wake up and sign quality there.

I'd like to think that there is room for Walters and Wilson in the team
