If this is true then it demonstrates that the new way of recruitment is working. You don't have to particularly rate a player, but if we are turning a profit 12 months later without it being much of an impact on the squad then it's all good. Which is where I was with Brown. I didn’t rate him at all but I would say that past the academy players we’ve sold he’s the only successful transfer we’ve made in the Championship. I really can’t think of any others we’ve made a profit on? We doubled our money with him and you can’t argue against that. We sold him at the complete right time, got the most money we could for a player like him and it was a good transfer. |

So does this go down as a Dublin win or a fail?

But you’d imagine we’ll make some and hopefully double our outlay at least based on reports. He’s a crap player, work rate aside, he’s a player I’d rather we didn’t have so the manager isn’t tempted to try to use him at any point. |

Brown is a lovely lad and you couldn't knock his effort. We cashed out at the right time. |

It is very tricky to know with the complex structure of transfer deals these days. I’m on the fence. As a squad player I think he’s handy to have. |

"Hello Mr Pisa, when you're done with that superstar winger Leris, you know the one who is a cross between Luis Figo and David Beckham like we told you, we've got a Jamaican international midfielder that wants to try his hand in Italy. He's a real good un'. He's like a cross between Edgar Davids and Clarence Seedorf. Up west he normally retails for 25M, but for you just a snip at 2.5M. We'll even throw in some lawnmower engines..."  I think you're just trying to take Mr Pisa for a gullible fool. "I said you buy one you get one free, YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE"! Pisa fans message board: This bloke must be fucking shit, Stoke fans are laughing their cocks off at us. |

For once we appear to have taken the Tottenham Hotspur approach to player sales and had somebody's pants down. It makes a nice change.
To be fair to Leris his heading ability made him a useful outlet when we had nobody else to hit it long to, I did like that about him. But if £3m is true then you can't turn it down.

Looks like the Leris story is made up yet again. No way would he be in the squad for a friendly if we’d accepted a bid, or even if a deal was close
