As long as TBH is still around then Upson will be a big improvement to the squad

True,but he should not just walk into the lineup, Ned imo is a better player than Upson.

Anybody would be an improvement on our defending of last year and at Rangers.
Fab Cappello rates him about the same as Lescott. Okay he a bit older,but central defenders
get better with age!

Manchester City turn their sights on West Ham's Matthew Upson

• Hughes reluctantly giving up on Everton's Lescott
• England defender seen as a good alternative
West Ham's Matthew Upson is Manchester City's latest target as Mark Hughes seeks to strengthen his defence before the start of the Premier League season
Manchester City have approached West Ham United about the availability of Matthew Upson, amid a growing sense that Everton are not to going to allow Joleon Lescott to leave Goodison Park.
City's manager, Mark Hughes, has identified Upson as the next option. Sylvain Distin, the former City defender who is now at Portsmouth, is also a possibility but Hughes would prefer Upson and the club are considering lodging an official bid for the England centre-back.
City have spent £94m this summer but Hughes, who feels his team still need strengthening in defence, wants to replace Richard Dunne, the club captain and four-times player of the year.
If Everton had lost Lescott, Upson would have been his replacement. Next best option, West Ham have to bring in money I expect this to happen next week.

imho .. upsons a better deal .. cheaper as well and vinny will be fit soon aswell
Much rather £10 million on him for a couple of seasons that £25 - £30 million to Moyes. Cappello rates him more highly in the national squad.
I have been saying for a while this should be turned into an exercise in fucking Everton over not the otherway round.

Unfortunately Ned will be lucky to play 20 games because the lad is always injured. Upson is not very good IMO, but if you need a centre back and moneys no problem, then it's probably needs must!

Potentially maybe but not at the moment
