Upson is way too injury prone all his career, our physios are already busy enough without him joining.

"In fact I’m going to make a promise which will be welcomed by many. If there’s no finance secured by the opening day of the season, I’m going to hang up my keyboard and close KOPTALK down." - Duncan Oldham, Expert Conman. March 29th 2006 -
Upson ? No thanks but he can stay where he is and take defensive lessons with Steve 'Handsome' Bruce.Comment

He's at his level now I think. Birmingham suit him as he is an average player at an average club.Comment

I could not dig, I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?Comment

We were led to believe it peaked in around 2001/2, when the likes of Rio Ferdinand commanded fees of £30m and Dean Richards £8m
Somehow though, it’s creeping back up again. Ashley Young for £9m?
Ridiculous.
Even the Pennant fee was bordering on obscene rip-off material. I dunno how it’s happened, but crazy, loony transfer fees in the British market are back. Some might say they never went away, but it really did calm down for a while.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

With the amount of TV money going to clubs, (increasing by £30M to each club next year) they really don't need to sell to stay afloat, so you have to offer crazy money, double a players worth at the moment at Eng clubs, it's a sellers market with all the cash floating around.Originally posted by ShaggyAlonso View PostIt’s getting out of hand again.

No TV money, and they'd be scrambling at the door to sell players to stay afloat.Comment
