We close to one or maybe 2

Can't get excited about either player.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I guess Monk at 34 is being signed as cover.

He is out of the HABIT of first team football.

 

[ees complicated no?]

He's 33 and why on as cover Greer is 32?

 

[Max Paper]

I'm going to talk about it with her tonight

Yep agree. Damn these recent England Internationals!

 

[Muzzy]

Is it Gus out, Adkins in

 

[TheDuke]

Unfair battle as I have parental obligations.

So...

Upson - deffo.
Monk - probably.

One more look into your crystal ball Bozza... are there none going out of the fold? CMS, Dobbie, Hoskins, Bridders?

 

[Puppet Master]

Can't get excited about either player.

Monk was quality last season and Upson might be getting on a bit is still a good defender for any Prem team!

I was the same when I first heard about Upson, but then thinking about it I wasn't keen about Bridge either but look at what he's done for the team whilst here.

Are people on here for real? Upson AND Monk would stroll into our starting 11. Two great signings if they happen and I hope to see them both in the starting line up ahead of Greer and El-Abd

Gordon Greer needs enough appearances to trigger a renewal clause in his contract , has he played enough games so far ?

 

[Worthingite]

Andy Whing on loan from Oxford. That's my tip.......

 

[The Truth]

Remind me, how many England caps did Hawkins receive?

Hawkins isn't english and Upson isn't an England international anymore. He's 34 in a few months and has only played a handful of games in the last 2 years. I personally think we need pace at the back more than experience.

Not to sure but I think it's safe to say he is going to be here next season as cover.

Isn't he the most experienced international from England to have EVER played for Brighton (if he signs), and you can't get excited.

Jesus christ.

You must have some serious PROBLEMS in the bedroom too.

You don't need pace to be a good centre back.

Wigan's centre back Adrian Lopez Rodriguez (also known as Piscu) is another name linked to #bhafc

So the same as Bridge?

 

[Everest]

Bozza you tease! Give us the first letter of their names? Pleeeeeeease.

Uncle Spielberg?

What about the other one?

I know, unbelievable isn't it. Both better than what we have got and both got top flight experience, and both 33. Not exactly past it, by centre half standards. We certainly have come a long way baby.
