    Mathew Upson

    Currently on SS2, having a decent game, still rumoured to be coming to us shortly, has scored 2 goals in 6 starts (better strike rate than some of our strikers!)



    However, with Carra being 1st name on the sheet etc, and with Agger coming through strongly this year, and Sami is not doing a lot wrong, do we really need an expensive CB playing second fiddle, and would he be happy in that role, and what message does that send out to those further down the pecking order?

    On reflection, not worth it at £8M imo, spend it elsewhere if we have that sort of cash, we could do with options at RB & LB challenging & pushing for places couldn't we? And no to LN, but if needs must etc, I'd much prefer younger & faster wing backs than what he offers over what we have.

    We simply dont need him. The defence is sorted now.

    Rafa will do anything to not buy players in the position we need sorting it would seem.

    BUY A SCORING WINGER!

      Absolutely do not want us to sign Upson FFS.
      Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

        I would be very surprised if Newcastle doesn't sign him.
        Just believe and you never know what will happen.

        According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

          We'll be getting Neill for 1m. He can provide cover in the center so it would be money wasted.

            We also have Roque who have played very good for the reserves this season.

              We even got backup centrebacks now, and besides, I have never understood the fuss about him.

              Sign a goalscorer.

                Roque is nowhere near ready.

                  He will PROBABLY be ready in one or two years time.

                      Doesn't help us now though does it? Anyways by then Paletta will probably be ready.

                      Also at that time Antwi, Hobbs, O'Donnell will all be knocking on the door.

                        That my point. Why would we sign a central defender when we have many young ones coming through from the academy and the reserves?

                            I thought you were saying there was no need to sign another as we have Roque.
