No cut-price Turner deal - Brown
Hull City, 13:53, August 8, 2009 ,
Hull manager Phil Brown has said he will not allow Michael Turner to leave Hull for reported suitors Liverpool "on the cheap".
Brown revealed he has received a verbal offer - thought to be from the Anfield club - for the 25-year-old but that it was way off his valuation of the centre-back.
"We've had a verbal offer from a club in the Premier League but there's been no firm offer through communications at boardroom level. That was nowhere near our expectations," Brown said in the Daily Mail.
Liverpool are reported to have sounded Hull out about Turner's availability but Brown is adamant he will not allow his star defender to leave for a cut price.
"I'm still adamant that it would take a big offer to prise Michael away, no matter who the club is," explained the Tigers manager.
"We've got a prized asset there and I will guarantee that no player will leave the club on the cheap."
