Matthew Upson

It's in the Mirror today, isn't he a bit of a sicknote?

Would take him though, wouldn't be a bad thing to have an experienced CB who's played for England and has played a decent amount of PL football!

Brighton factually.....
Can only strengthen the squad for the final push.

I would be pleased with that, although this does smack of "we could not get the dutch lad" similar scenario to not getting Leo earlier in the season and getting Dobbie although I rate Upson higher, still what do I know.

There's always a chance we will go back for Van Dijk in the summer, Upson would a decent option until then.

Then prepare for a binfest when he pulls up with a hamstring problem after the first 20 mins of his début. It's OK strolling around at the back in the prem but we're at the business end of the up and at 'em championship.

Shot down in flames when I said Upson on loan about three weeks ago.Cant believe people saying we dont want him. Would be perfect at this stage of season.

Still a quality player at championship level !!! Hope this happens. More so than the Dutch guy. Upson can hit the ground running.

Re: Matthew Upson

I know he has been a capped by england but then so was micheal ricketts. Upson has always been over rated. Would rather us go for an up and coming central defender from league 1 than waste wages on him. Has never been that good and prone to mistakes. No thankyou
