We have a 19 year old Jamaican striker called Brian Brown arriving for a 3 week trial, highly rated apparently.

A new Dwight Yorke???

Exactly my reaction when I read about this kid!

What happened to the Spanish/Portugese player who was supposed to be joining us in January who was out of contract at his present club due to some admin cock up on his transfer? Sorry cannot remember his name but it was well reported November/December last year.

How would this Brian Brown get a work permit? How did Yorkie get one?

I'd like to say I know how it works but I'm not sure anybody does.
There's no rhyme or reason to it at times.

Was his name Yannick Djalo or something like that?  I think Eck scrapped the idea.  probably got pissed off that he decided to announce it on his faceboook before the club could confirm it?

The deal fell through when it became known that the lad wanted to be paid.

Good luck to the fonz on his loan move to Leicester.

Also, Mat Kendrink has said that there is no truth (according to Villa) about Brian Brown coming to us on trial

He was. He was Hollywood's token Aussie for a while.
