We close to one or maybe 2

Am I missing something here with England caps? Aren't England ridiculously shit?

Yes, you are missing something.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Seems like a sensible short term loan signing and gives us valuable experienced defensive cover for the promotion run-in.

Leaves the door open for us to get VVD as a longer term investment in the summer.

Jazz pianist

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Got to be a good signing, surely?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Who the hell is monk?

Garry Monk. Over 200 games for Swansea. Good player.

theolonously so (sp)

 

[Drumstick]

u & s

Already heard confirmed rumours of one of those.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Who would have thought we would have Upson and Bridge in our defence.

 

[Munchkin]

Simeon Jackson from Norwich is on apparently....

 

[See-Goals]

Come on, none of them are THAT old. Especially 32 for a goalie! I can remember us signing Simon Morgan when he was what, 35(?) and he turned out to be one of the best players I've ever seen in a Brighton shirt.

Feckin loved Simon Morgan.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Not sure why we would need Simeon Jackson - unless someone is on the way out?

People who think you need pace to be a good centre back obviously don't know much about football. It's 95% positioning and reading of the game, quite a lot of top class centre backs aren't exactly what you'd describe as pacy.

 

[ees complicated no?]

If we sign Upson, I expect us to sign a younger, pacey defender as well. Someone out of the blue thats not been mentioned

Someone like David Lomban?

[The Truth]

Remember Guy Butters? He didn't need pace.

American Detective, with allergies.

Had a bullet header on him as well Never will forget West Ham away

 

[dingodan]

Dobbie out.

He is leaving Blackpool according to SSN

 

[ferring seagull]

Totally this!

Our two CBs are our weakest link, we need two.

If we have any real ambition then that is absolutely true but they need to have some height and stature.

Sadly I remember Upson from the 2010 WC or EC and he was somewhat poor I seem to recollect.
