Brown plans striker cull
Hull City boss Phil Brown has warned his misfiring strike-force that he is prepared to make sacrifices this summer.[LNB] With the Tigers having struggled in front of goal throughout last season, Brown is keen to bolster his options during the upcoming transfer window.[LNB]A proven forward has been identified as his top priority, with a host of names already linked with a move to the KC Stadium.[LNB]A deal for Manchester United youngster Fraizer Campbell is believed to be almost complete, while the likes of Marc-Antoine Fortune, Marlon Harewood and Michael Owen are known to be on Brown's wish list.[LNB]The Hull chief admits he is planning to make sweeping changes to his squad over the next few weeks and accepts that will mean some players having to be moved on.[LNB]He told the Hull Daily Mail: "I'm happy to bring three, or possibly even four strikers into the frame.[LNB]"If you look at the strikers we had last season, Marlon King got five goals, Daniel Cousin got five, Craig Fagan got two, Caleb Folan one, so it wouldn't bode well for this season if we stuck with the same strike-force.[LNB]"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to suggest that yes, one or two might be moving on and yes, one or two will stay and join the new band of strikers.[LNB]"It will be up for everyone to get on with it in pre-season and see where that takes us."[LNB]
