Upson: "I’ve heard lots of positive things about Gus and his style and the whole package here at #BHAFC. It is very exciting."

Upson: “It’s a very good opportunity for me at a time that I have not been playing. It’s a chance for me to play. #BHAFC #FLTransfer

Seems to have been around forever. Not a signing that excites me to be honest, although I wouldn't say it's a bad one as his experience could prove invaluable.

Signing players even I've heard of - whatever next?

fair enough

A very good bit of business, I reckon.

I wonder what response you'd have got from El Abd if you'd told him three years ago that he'd end up playing in a back four with Bruno, Bridge and Upson?

There you go

My eyesight is not brilliant. I can categorically state here and now, that I will not be able to tell him and Bridge apart.

Great addition to the squad. Close the window now please.

It should do. We love our El Abd and El captain, but they've done well to get us this far. They are the weakest two players in our starting 11. Upson is quite a step up.

He'll be the one with UPSON on the back of his shirt.

Err...he said his eyesight isn't brilliant...

 

[sydney]

He is quality and should fit in well.........not sure about his recent injury record but he looks fit enough.

Cheers for that - that will be handy from the back row of the East.

Hopefully Upson will wear lairy boots!

Don't bother trying to sign for forest then

No it shouldn't, he's a CB for starters so hardly the most exciting position on the pitch, and he's knocking on a bit and currently a fringe player, albeit in the prem. But if he performs anywhere near the level Bridge has for us then he'll be a quality signing, but I'm just not very excited by it

To be clear, I think he'll bring a lot to the team in terms of experience and hopefully help us to stop throwing away points towards the end of games for starters.

I struggle to see why any Albion fan would be anything other than delighted with this. We've got ourselves an England international, left footed, Premier League regular centre back for nothing. We might even score from corners!
