TheInspiration 1 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Upson would definitely be an improvement to what we've got tbh, but he's probably staying loyal to Birmingham, as they should go up next year, plus I think he signed a new contract with them this year.

Brock Manson 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 He'd be a great signing, if he can stay injury-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Cool! I'd like that. Discretely forcing the Bramble out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sidwell rumours seemed to have died down... Any news from down there about it Brock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sidwell rumours seemed to have died down... Any news from down there about it Brock? Nothing in the ronnie about it. His trouble is he's a cracking player when on form, but he's incredibly inconsitent. He's pretty much a Parker-type player, only younger. Can't shoot for shit though. NUFC would be better off signing Harper, who plays alongside him. Brilliant passer of the ball and never stops running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
