Chris Coleman Brian Quotations

I am delighted that we have secured the services of Brian for a further season. Brian is a consummate professional who always gives 100% whether it's on the training pitch or in a game, and it's a pleasure to have him in my squad.

He didn't start because he has just had a long flight back from America, and couldn't have played the full 90 minutes. But when I play with two strikers Brian is always at the front of my mind, because he works well with Andy Cole.

When I signed Heider I had no intention of playing him and Brian together because they are very alike. It was going to be one or the other.

Brian has been fantastic. We'll be sitting down with him in the first week of January to make sure we keep him. He wants to stay and we want to keep him. He's a terrific, terrific player.
