Profit on Brown HAHAHAHA

[Huddy 0]

Sorry, i''m finding this all too amusing!

400k for a player who''s scored 1 goal in 24 appearances (8 as sub), that record has earned us a £125k profit. Priceless! Absolutely Priceless. How on earth have they pulled it off, well done Glen, poor old Preston.

good luck to brown - he always gave 100%, just couldn''t score.  (as long as he can keep preston below us)!!!

[SuperWesIrishWizard 0]

Profit? Is that a joke? Hes been here a year, we bought him for £300k and sold him for £400k.  In order to have made a profit then Chris Brown would have had to have earnt less than 100k in that year including his signing on fee (normally around 10% so thats 30k), I know a fact that a youth player who left at the end of last season was on 2k a week so this is very unlikely.

Therefore we have not made a ''profit'', we have in fact still made a significant loss

Let''s all celebrate, Chris Brown has been sold..........for money!

Good sale i think, squad player not neccesarly needed

one thing what i wonder is why do you slater every moving player in etuhu, safri, earnshaw hughes etc...

every player who moves on gets loads of stick

as to profit not really as mentioned above but least you got some more in the coffers

[Huddy 0]

okok

a trading profit then. But the fact that we got anything for him really should be celebrated!

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777]

In the first couple of days, no fee was mentioned, so I assumed it was a free transfer, and I was rather pleased at that. £400k and I''m thrilled.

I personally thought Chris Brown was a good striker...................................... Until he got into the box!

Like Sutton in reverse?  Well, stranger things have happened.  He played right wing for Grant, and left side for Roeder.

Unless you mean they should play him at CB as he was adept at turning attacks into goal kicks.

Just.... YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a Championship level player, has failed Here, Hull and Sunderland.  I''m surprised another Championship team are giving him a go.Hopefully Glenn will spend the £400K more wisely than Grant spent the £325K.

[/quote]We8wba.... etuhu and safri left under a cloud, and hughes was hated by some in same way brown is....personally i have nothing against the lad, he always gave us 100% and although lacked a cutting edge, his hold up play was second to one (Dion) (see what i did there?) Good luck to him, i for one wish him all the best for the future.

because brown scored 1 goal ... and was pretty much useless...

good riddance.

Glag to see the back of Chris Brown to be honest! He was a waste of space!One down two to go! (Jarvis and Martin)

GLAD!I can''t type on laptop keyboards! Especially my one.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

Although I''ve always stuck up for him to an extent and always felt people were far too harsh on him... 400k? Preston must be really desperate, or stupid, or both. A miracle we made a profit on him.

[Nik 0]

I too am amazed we got our money back and more, however i wish him luck, as every time he played he did give 100%, obviously he was and should be viewed on goals as all strikers should be, and in this area of his game he was poor/ lacked confidence.

But as long as any player in a city shirt gives his all its all we can ask;

I remember travelling to Blackpool in the FA Cup and Brown made his debut. He looked pretty good, until he got sent off!

 

I remember being very impressed when he did ''keepie-uppies'' with his chin...

 

Greatest profit ever made :)

Just as I was finding it oh so amusing when you lot were saying "give Chris Brown a chance I am sure he will come good" for the best part of a year!!!

Hate to say it but yet again I told you so.

Is anybody still prepared to say that Strivahka will come good???

Got plenty of time for Earnie and Etuhu... two quality players that deserved better than NCFC could offer them in terms of playing at a level that was more suited to their ability.

Safri was over-rated at City in my opinion but I still think we have not suitably replaced him either.

Hughes was a joke that would fit in to a team with Chris Brown in the forward line very well indeed.

Ummm, i cant ever remember being to positive on Brown, i did say give Strihavka a chance, sohe can settle and whatever, but Brown i was never convinced, and i cant remember claiming he will come good!

But if you can find a post from me saying something similaer, then i will eat my words!

[komakino 272]

400K is good business for a ''striker'' with a strike rate as bad as his. It wasn''t as bad as say the appalling ratio of Alex Notman, but this type of cash cannot be turned down.

Well you were certainly never one to sing his praises too loudly HUDDY I will credit you that... the best I can find from you is lets give the guy a chance which was fair enough.

Strivahka was every inch as bad as Chris Brown though.

I think the fact that Brown was ahead of him in the pecking order prooves that. I dont think anyone saw much of Strihavka, and when he did play he didnt make an impact. He didnt settle in, he didnt adapt and thankfully we only wasted 240k (plus wages) and not the million!

Thought you had disappeared.  So, you are commenting on these players based on what exactly, seeing as you never go to games?

[Mister Chops 7]

Knowing how football sometimes works, anyone else for a couple of quid on Brown as first goalscorer today?

[claus 0]

400k is pretty good lets hope its not a deal like strihavka''s and find out we dont get the full amount when hes released from Preston in a years time!
