Brown eager to keep Turner
Hull manager Phil Brown outlined his determination to hold on to star centre-half Michael Turner after the defender impressed in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.
Liverpool are thought to be interested in signing Turner and have reportedly had one bid turned down by the Tigers.
The 25-year-old had an awesome battle with Didier Drogba but won the Chelsea striker's respect with a glowing performance and while Brown is realistic when it comes to the prospect of keeping his top stars, he insists they won't be sold on the cheap.
"You do desperately try and hang on to your better players," said Brown. "People have classed the price tag on Michael Turner as ridiculous at £10 million. I think he is worth that to us, it might not be worth that to somebody else, but he is to us.
"As far as we are concerned that is how big a player he is for us. Michael played 38 games for us last year and never missed a minute. He is being courted by bigger clubs because of the way he can defend.
"Against Chelsea there was another example of that, but not just from him but also from Anthony Gardner and Andy Dawson. I thought it was a good collective, defensive performance from us."
