Big Sam admits Brown swoop woe
-
Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has admitted he has given up hope of landing Manchester United's versatile defender Wes Brown on loan next month.
The Magpies tactician had targeted the 28-year-old England international after the long-serving Red Devils ace rejected the chance to sign a new contract.
However, Allardyce believes with worries over Gary Neville's long-term fitness, Ferguson will not be prepared to let Brown depart in the New Year.
The former Bolton manager is desperate to plug the Magpies' leaky defence, although they did keep a clean sheet in their last-gasp 1-0 win at Fulham on Saturday.
"Wes Brown is not going to be available in January," he told The People. "He may leave at the end of the season.
"The speculation comes round because he supposedly turned a contract down, but I can't see Sir Alex letting him leave with Gary Neville being injured." -
Newcastle has a thing for United players huh? Butt, Smith and now Brown...
Cheers.

i feel brown is damn stupid. a fresh contract on the table don't want to sign. he is currently the first-team RB seeing alot of first-team action now ever since G. Neville is injured. And Neville is gonna retire in another couple years' time. Moreover, he is the most experienced RB. Don't know what is he thinking man.
