Hope it doesn't happen, was good 10 years ago
Matthew Upson is one of the candidates to solve Albion's centre-half crisis before the transfer window closes tonight.
The former England defender has been short of first team action at Premier League Stoke City.
Coach Charlie Oatway confirmed to The Argus this morning: "We've got a list of names left, right and centre and his name has come up.
"He is one of many. In a situation like this it's last minute.com. You are trying to bring somebody in. You gather all the information you have got and see which one you think would do a job at this particular time and fit into the group.
"He is a name that has been thrown into the equation."
Oatway also revealed Lewis Dunk, currently involved in a court case, could feature in the squad at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Oatway took over at short notice from manager Gus Poyet, who was due to attend his regular Thursday morning press conference at The Amex.
Oatway said: "The gaffer's doing some business."
Does that mean Gus is on the loo

Oh no please tell us - pleeeeeeeease, we are so in awe of what you know... pleeeeease.
10? Was playing for England less than 3 years ago. That's even more recently than Bridge, and he's not been too bad for us

First laugh of the day for me, which proves how childish I am.
But on the subject of the thread I would take Upson for sure. Perfect short term answer to our centre back problem.

It means that Gus was either putting together the final bid for Van Dijk or discussing terms with Roman Abramovich.

Is Upson fit at the moment? He's dropped off the radar a bit.

Many many people said that about Bridge 6 months ago.
Upson would be a fantastic signing for us.

From wiki:
Upson made his first League appearance of 2012–13 season on 29 December 2012 against Southampton due to Shawcross serving a one match suspension. Upson scored Stoke's second goal in a 3–3 draw.[
Well played

Matthew Upson
Can't believe people are turning their nose up at a player like Upson he'd be a perfect short term solution before going in for VvD again in the summer.

I wouldn't turn up my nose at the Upsy. Short-term deal for a man who knows what he is doing without much work on the training field would do us alright. We're a team about position and reading of play and not one about lightning-paced centre-halves amending their errors.
