What will Upson bring to the team?

[kevtherev]

A better partner for Dunk to learn off, will make Dunk even better.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

We are slowly building an England rejects and Spanish Masters.......

Would you have belived anyone five years ago if they would have predicted that !

Not bloody me....

Hail Gus & Tony

People are saying to me " As long as Greer is fit, Gus won't drop him as he's captain ". What a load of bollocks. He's just like any other player out on the pitch and IMO should be dropped. I know he might not be fit to play our next couple of games but he shouldn't automatically be in the squad just because he's the captain. I hope Gus will stick with El-Abd and Upson.

What you are saying is historically accurate.

In Albion's case, at least two captains have been dropped from the side in the final (and successful) push for promotion, John Napier in 1972 and Doug Rougvie in 1988.

 

[Grapes of Wrath]

Another player who has played for Palarse. Only on loan though

Lots of confused Will Young fans

Everything we need except pace.

and if pace was that important the likes of Terry and Carragher wouldnt have had a career. aerial ability and bags of experience at top level, and serious competition for CB place.

Upsy Matty here I come,

[Twinkle Toes]

Is he going out with any girl band members yet?

Nah, none of that vacuous shite. His long-term squeeze is Ellie Darby, who's an athlete.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Clean sheets and if they still have to keep their own training kit clean maybe he'll do them too.

Our good defensive record this season will get better

How good would that be?! Here's to you being bang-on with that assertion (& our big, baaad, Argie smashing in goals for fun at t'other end).

 

[Puppet Master]

Dunno where all this slow stuff is coming from, he's always been pacey for a cb

 

[brightonmark1234]

we might score from corners now with his height

 

[The Camel]

Who does Upson replace in the team, Greer or El Abd?

greer for now

 

[Doc Lynam]

Longer term Adam for me.

 

[GT49er]

Experience at the top level. Even if he doesn't play much (although I think he will) his influence on the training ground should be worth his weight in gold.

Unconfirmed reports he is upset with the shoddy quality of errea kits.

Already ripped his collar . . . .

Did the same as soon as I pulled mine on for the first time

 

[screamadelica]

What qualities do you think he bring to the team?
Good in the air if i remember right!?

Nothing like the quality Dobbie is going to add to palarse,put him alongside murray and they will be back in 2nd place very shortly,what the f*** have you done Gus.
