Considering how important a replacement CB is it's slightly surprising that until Upson was named this week as a possible target I don't recall a single name being mentioned. Is he likely to be our main/only prospect? Seems odd.
I know he had a half season of non league (albeit in a struggling side) but is that enough to make him more "Championship-ready" than Rea? Not convinced
I did think of them but Tommy had played more than 150 games for us before that pairing started which is near double the experience Lewis Dunk has. That said in still convinced that Lewis is the better footballer although maybe Tommy has better leadership skills
Hughton saying he will get more game time this season IF the club don't succeed in replacing Halford and Hughes.
With Greer currently injured I wonder how we might fare in the Championship with a youthful pairing of Rea and Dunk? I can't think of any instances where it has been tried and worked...
