"It was obviously in protection if I lost Michael Turner.[LNB]"We might have priced Michael or ourselves out of the market with regards to his valuation but if that's the case, then I'll be delighted.[LNB]"If it's not the case and someone is willing to meet our valuation, I'll need a centre-half.[LNB]"I spoke with Sol because I was allowed to speak with him, he's not contracted to another club, but that doesn't mean to say it would come cheap.[LNB]"He's certainly of interest to me if I was to lose a centre-half, but at this stage there's nothing new to say on Michael."
