The official "Matthew Upson to Albion" thread [merged]

Stop gap till we can sign a younger player in the Summer...

 

[Da Man Clay]

Matthew Upson would be a cracking signing. Decent replacement for Greer for the rest of the season. Could do with another younger CB as well.

 

[AJBHA]

I'm not talking about the youth or development squad. Just our first team squad.
Yes I know he's got caps and I rate him as a player but we have a fair few players over 29-30!

It's a loan for the rest of the season to add a bit of quality and plug the gap that would have been filled by the 21-year-old Van Dijk. It's a good move.

Please read my first reply. It's a fact. Would you rather we go the next 2/3 weeks without ANY CB other than El-Abd then?

But it's only a loan until the end of the season... he's not going to age dramatically in that time.

With the Doc I hear .......

Getting measured for his Zimmer frame?

He can still do a job at our level.

 

[BensGrandad]

We are going for promotion THIS year. It's a short term loan to help us achieve that.

Nail head on hit the have you...................... please arrange as appropriate.

 

[Surf's Up]

Upson nowvD in the summer - simple

 

[Biscuit]

Matthew upson? Do we really need another old player!

AJBHA, I wish you were in charge of our signings. You've been around for four days and yet you make more sense and clearly know more about what makes a good football club than out entire back room staff.

Blatant evidence to the contrary aside, Poyet is obviously clueless and wouldn't know a good defender if it kicked him up the arse.

Very much this. I'd be a bit worried if we bagged him on a 5 year contract but a short-term loan? That would be magic.

So a player who scored a goal for England in the World Cup (last 16) just 2 years ago against Germany is deemed by some too old and not good enough to Play for Brighton bloody hell when did we become that good

 

[Napper]

Matthew upson? Do we really need another old player!

Not even a question that needs asking

 

[Smirko]

SSN announces he is coming on loan

 

[Steve Foster]

Coming to us on loan for the rest of the season according to Sky

 

[Muzzy]

I don't think we should be getting into signing Arsenal and England rejects for a short term fix either. I much preferred it when were struggling to maintain our league status personally.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Coming to us on loan for the rest of the season according to Sky

In other news the Titanic has sunk

 

[Don Tmatter]

I'm sure there were a few Reading fans who said the same thing about Jason Roberts and look how that worked out for them.

 

[Lethargic]

And your suggestion who we should sign is.............?
Realistic targets only.

 

[Oscar]

Great signing.... When it happens.
