Matthew Upson joins Leicester City on one year contract

[Paul Reids Sock]

Reckon he's off to Leciester. Just got a tweet from a Leciester fan...claiming they're using Upson as bait for Ulloa.

In what respect as bait?

To convince Ulloa to sign for them?

Or, to offer back to us as part of a deal for Ulloa? If that is the case I hope we tell then where to go

I was hoping this was a wind up.

Shame Upson has gone, one last Premier League hurrah before retiring I assume.

Bit bizarre though. He was on a PL contract when he joined us but said he wanted regular first-team football. Wonder why he changed his mind

 

[Doc Lynam]

very surprised if this has happened!

 

[Bladders]

Probably go the same way as Bridge, will spend half of next season injured/on the bench then retire.

 

[Mowgli37]

Absolutely gutted to hear this I do understand why he has gone though, the very best of luck to him.

Thank-you Matthew for everything, you were pretty damn good

 

[HantsSeagull]

Nuts. Good news for Dunk though, now has a window of opportunity.

Shame Upson has gone, one last Premier League hurrah before retiring I assume.

or maybe the club he would have signed for are without a manager and were too slow/didnt make him an offer and he couldn't take the risk of hanging about to see whether we ever got our act together. Big mistake on our part i fear.

 

[Daffy Duck]

B******s.

I was really hoping he'd stay with us. It might be good news for Dunk, but Greer and Dunk don't play well together, IMO.
Upson and Dunk did.

 

[El Sid]

Great shame. Quality player. Let's hope we are lucky enough to find a decent replacement.

 

[crodonilson]

Please say it isn't so.

Devastating news if true, we've lost our rock.

 

[Albumen]

Best defender we had.



Bugger.

Bugger. Great player in his time playing for us. If a centre back wasn't on the shopping list previously it bloody well needs to be now.

 

[clippedgull]

... wrong thread

 

[crabface]

Not good news was really hoping he would stay.

 

[Driver8]

I thought they had £180m to spend? I think I would have been aiming a bit higher than Upson with that kitty.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Well the good news keeps coming, hopefully Billy Davis will be announced as manager to at least cheer us up

 

[El Turi]

Not a disaster. He looked very jaded towards the end of the season and I can't see him playing many games next season. I wish him well though.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Life goes on. Perhaps the mistimed tackle in the play-offs was an indication that he is past his sell by date?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

We probably saw the best of him. We have Lewis Dunk.
