Hull City boss Phil Brown has confirmed he has lodged a bid with Newcastle United for unsettled defender Habib Beye. Beye, who joined Newcastle in 2007 has made it clear he is unhappy at the club and is keen move back into the Premier League, but Newcastle have rejected Hull's initial approach.
Phil Brown told the Hull Daily Mail;
"We've gone as far as a bid for Habib Beye, but it was received negatively. However, we're awaiting discussions at the Newcastle end with regards to the possibility of him moving.
There is some mileage in it yet, but what we're dealing with at Newcastle is an unknown quantity. We don't know who is going to be the manager and what players that new man would want. We're in the dark a little bit at the minute."
The Senegalese International who has a year left on his contract with Newcastle initially expressed a desire to stay and help push the club back into the top flight, however the club has made no attempt to reassure players over the summer months resulting in more and more players, including Beye choosing to leave.
Also the money would never be right to get rid of him, he is too old to demand a decent fee. Any money we got off him would never be able to buy a better replacement.
