David Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Phil Brown has revealed his interest in Nancy’s Marc-Antoine Fortune and Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood, while rumours persist that he's closing in on Giles Barnes of Derby County. Fortune's impressive form in the Premier League for West Brom means there's no shortage of takers, with Celtic, Fulham and Wolves also being linked. The transfer fee payable is likely to be in the region of £2.5 million. "Marc-Antoine Fortune is a player that we're interested in,â€Â Brown told the Hull Daily Mail. "We have discussed terms with his club and I would say we're probably one of three serious contenders. "We've done our business with his club and we remain hopeful. "He's someone who caught the eye and captured everyone's imagination in the second half of last season." Brown also confirmed his interest in Harewood. "Players with Premier League experience would interest us and Marlon Harewood is that type of player," Brown added. "He's got good ability and he's a big and powerful forward. He is the type of player that we are looking for and there's interest from us. "I don't know the ins and outs of his current situation. Aston Villa have got their business to do and that's up to them." Meanwhile, Barnes is expected to cost £2m.

David Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Derby manager Nigel Clough has rejected Hull City’s offer to take Giles Barnes on loan for a season. Hull boss Phil Brown gave Barnes his first-team debut at 17 while in charge at Pride Park. Fulham wanted to take Barnes on loan, but Clough told both clubs it will take an offer of £2m before Derby agree to sell.

Boycie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think 2 million is a bit cheap, or is it me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'd be surprised if anyone paid £2m, look at what he's done in the last two seasons, hardly been spectacular has it. A sell on clause would be nice, make up for the Huddlestone sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I want to keep him, and so does Vic's. We aint letting him go, you'll never find him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'd rather keep him if his attitude is right, a decent injury free season and his valuation will double, he could also be looking at a better move than Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
