Upson or Davies?
Posted by admin under Lane Gossip , Latest News , Martin Jol , Michael Dawson , Ledley King , Danny Murphy , Tom Huddlestone , Aaron LennonWe are being heavily linked with both Birmingham City’s Mathew Upson and West Brom’s Curtis Davies for the upcoming transfer window.
Now although I think we are fine in that area (Centre half), if we to make a move who would you prefer?
I know Davies is a very talented young lad and has already skippered the Baggies and he is only 21 but I think Upson is more established in the Premiership (Plus nine caps for England) and besides the MAJOR FACT THAT HE USED TO PLAY FOR THE GOONER SCUM should be a good acquisition.
Both seem to have potential to improve our squad but I want to know why we are searching for centre half. Marty says so it will allow him to play Ledley in more advanced role but I think (and I know everyone will agree) that Tommy Huddlestone is doing an amazing job in the heart of the midfield. The kid has something special. I know I might be jumping the gun but I honestly believe he is in a similar mould to the Gerrard’s and the Lampard’s of this world.
Anyway lets see what Marty does, I won’t doubt him. Keep up the good work…
But……………… please sign another flanker and never drop Huddlestone.
