Brown on recruitment drive
Aberdeen manager Craig Brown has assured fans he is working furiously behind the scenes to add more new players this summer.[LNB] But the veteran boss insists he will only make quality signings, rather than recruit new personnel for the sake of it.[LNB]Brown swooped to sign French defender Youl Mawene earlier this month and is keen to add more new faces if they fit the bill.[LNB]He said: "We're not going to sign players for the sake of it. I've watched other clubs make a lot of signings and I'm not envious of any of them.[LNB]"But I wouldn't like the supporters to think we are not on the case as we are all working diligently on improving the team.[LNB]"I have a list of players - every agent that phones and every recommendation we get, I write it down, and it will take ages to get through them all.[LNB]"Some of them we know and others we have to find out about."[LNB]One player on Brown's radar is former West Ham striker Daniel Uchechi.[LNB]He said: "We had a request from an agent about Danny and he told me what a wonderful player he was.[LNB]"We will have a look at him, and he seems to be a reasonably good player."[LNB]However, the Dons boss expects to be priced out of a move for Norwich defender Steven Smith, who had a loan spell at Pittodrie last season.[LNB]He told the club's official website: "I think it'll be quite difficult to get anyone whose - the rumour is - wages double.[LNB]"So quite clearly it will be harder to move him now than it was a year ago. I think the money might make it quite difficult for us."[LNB]
