Upson

[city diehard]

Villa are desperate for a defender and hes english so fits the Oneil profile.

I have come round to the way of thinking that Distain would be a better backup option if Lescott does not happen (THough it looks likely now)

Hes similar ability, let footed and only a year older. Pompey are so ******* £4 million would get him and he woul jump at the chance of comming back. Decent stop gap and bettter than paying £12 million for Upson.

I heard distan going to villa but wouldn't want upson to old

The daily Mail said that Liverpool had a £17m bid accepted but their bankers wouldn't release the funds.

That's crazy money for Upson.

£17 million for Upson hes 30 !

would take him for 12m though!! upson 12m and distin for 6m? centre back and left back covered all in one!! bridge worries me sometimes in defence and abit of competition would be good for him and thats what mh is building this squad for,everyone HAS to perform and fight for a place.
