But this guy didn't really show anything outstanding. Equally I could be wrong but isn't he now in his mid 20s?

In fairness was he ever a young player for us? The age he come in needed to be in and around the squad.

Mike, According to the Jack / Nubsy we are not allowed an opinion or a view. Just got ti agree with Dalman / Williams and their bullshit hype.

Facts:
Warnock made a virtually zero offer , even he said it was cheeky and so low City said no.
The facts are there all those years and appearances, yet he was made to be another great player coming through .

I agree with those saying Brown was never going to be good enough. No pace and just didn't look comfortable at this level.
However, didn't the club try and get rid of him up to Scotland but McCarthy was told by a Scottish mate of his that Brown was a top player and then insisted he came back from loan or am I thinking of another player ? McCarthy seemed to like anyone who can play centre back
I can't remember anyone really singing Brown's praises but then again I'd already made my own mind up after watching him play for the U23s so might have just ignored it.
When you watched Colwill, Davies, Zimba and Denham at U23 you just knew that they had real potential. Mind you, I thought Keenan Patten also looked like he could make it and he's gone elsewhere so what do I know
