Welcome ed, on paper a brilliant signing and coup, but will wait to see proof in the pudding.
On a side note, if we HAVE so say not a pot to pi$$ in, how have we managed to employ a chief scouty fella, a brand new midfielder and offered professional contracts to development squad?
Oh and funding a new c e o in 6 weeks time?
Just wondering..

Given this signing is so early in the window, I assume Upson was DCs first pick in that position...which is good news

Bennett, Sercombe & Upson for a combined total of 125k. Unreal business. Only a few months ago, people were saying how poor DC's transfer record was, and that it was a weakness

Upson's last visit to the Mem last October saw him set up Tom Nichols for his only league goal and also get himself booked !
"Rovers’ dominant start to the second period eventually resulted in them taking the lead on 65 minutes and, again, it came in fortuitous circumstances. Upson, heading it back to his goalkeeper, didn’t spot the lurking Nichols, who pounced on the pass and took advantage of the error by finishing into the bottom left corner. 1-0.!

Never heard Nichols described as lurking before.....

This is definitely promising -in the games I saw last season I would say this type of player is what we were most crying out for really.

Could be there is a partnership in the making! This mid-fielder must indeed be brilliant... he remains the only player in Bristol Rover's history to have an assist for a Tom Nichols league goal.

Don't they have to get business done before the first game of the season this time? Yes mate. The window opens and closes quite a bit quicker this time. I hope I’m wrong but I see a protracted period of nothing for a bit now. I don’t remember who posted it but there was a table of the spend, by team, in our league and we were 5th or 6th from bottom with the average pay being 1.5K. To most of us 1.5K pw sounds very nice indeed but it’s not the kind of money that would tempt a serious talent and we would be dwarfed by offers made by other clubs, clubs who know you have to spend some to accumulate some. I like the idea of evolution but I think it needs some of both spending & evolution, to build a successful and promotion capable team. Aren’t Thursdays the day that we seem to announce any changes of incomings ?
