Steve Bruce slams "ridiculous" Norwich City Robbie Brady bids

Steve Bruce tells Premier League new boys Norwich City to raise their "ridiculous" valuation of wing-back Robbie Brady if they want to sign him.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has slammed Norwich City's "embarrassing" bids for wing-back Robbie Brady.

The Republic of Ireland international is expected to stay in the Premier League even after the Tigers were relegated last term.

Top-flight new boys Norwich City have been credited with an interest, but Bruce says that the Canaries are some way off tabling a realistic offer for the 23-year-old.

"Norwich have come in with bids for Robbie Brady but I have to say they've been embarrassing," he told the Hull Daily Mail.

"The supporters should know the truth and Norwich came in two weeks ago with a bid of £2m, £2.5m and then £3m. That's ridiculous for someone who is 23, has played two years in the Premier League and has become a regular international.

"We paid £2.75m for Robbie and that was three years ago. This can unsettle players, do this, that or the other, and it's all part of the game. But Robbie Brady will not be going for anywhere near that."

Brady, who made 27 Premier League appearances last season, is contracted to the Tigers until next summer.
