McBride Move Possible: Souness

Last updated : 28 November 2003 By Neal McGaffin
Following the club announcement, Adrian Ilie will not be signing for the club after a short trial period, the hunt for another striker continued with McBride’s name circulating as one of the manager’s possible targets.

McBride has had loan spells with Preston and last season with Everton, were his time was successful, although he failed to make his deal permanent due to financial reasons. He is currently playing for American side, Columbus Crew. A proven record would make him a sensible buy for Souness who confirmed his thoughts today.

“We are looking for someone with physical presence, and Brian is one of those in whom we are showing interest.”

This announcement comes after Souness had given a wake-up call to Dwight Yorke and Andrew Cole to add to their scoring tallies this season and bring back their old deadly reputation.
