Millwall complete deal for Yeovil Town midfielder Upson
MILLWALL have sealed a deal for Yeovil Town midfielder Ed Upson.
The midfielder, 24, has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Lions after agreeing terms and passing a medical.
Upson, who scored the winner for the Glovers at The Den on the opening day of the season, is believed to have cost around £100,000.
Ian Holloway's fourth and seemingly final signing of the January transfer window is not eligible to face Reading tomorrow.
Good luck IH and AA get it done this lad's a gem and believe it or not under the age of 29!
Good age to learn from the cheifs Ollie has decided to keep.
I know im a moany git but at this rate im going to have to change my forum picture!
Welcome to The Den Eddie.
Yeah,really good player, box to box, comfortable on the ball,24 years old, let's get him
Definitely got the potential to be a good replacement for Liam Trotter. Hopefully this deal can be done in time, and for £100,000 is good value for a 24 year old midfielder.
Sounds too good
@sadlier89: have we got him..cos burnley were after him ars well
@jim28: it says on here earlier the burnley thing was a red herring
@bordersarebest0170: didn't see that tale..it was in the local .paper & SSnews
His profile on Wikipedia has been updated, saying he plays for Millwall now. ?????
Just heard Upson has signed on talk sport ,player worthy of Keogh and trotter put together.great deal IH.........
Hopefully we get him be a good signing for us and look forward to seeing him play in midfield with Bailey or Morgan so come Ih and AA get this done then get us another cb in aswell
Should be a good signing, good passer of the ball and has three times the energy of Trotter. IH is certainly sorting things out now let's get some points to keep us up
this is the trust we put in mr Holloway to find and develop talented players like ed upson,bring more of them in!and out with the shirkers.
Williams now upson just the quality players we need in midfield apparently both have good engines on them and technically very good we will be playing like Barcelona soon ha ha
Yeovil have just got a Man Utd midfielder in on loa, looks like Upson is coming
HOLLO-WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!! I love it. A manager who is doing what he says. He's trying to shape the team as swiftly as possible to fit his footballing philosophy. You won't sign a contract, then you will go. Great stuff. Just hope we have time to gel to keep us in this division
@Eddie Grace: does that mean Forde is on his way
@markbrowns: All Wall fans know Forde's limitations.... and are not fooled by his performances for Ireland. I hope he signs and doesn't come the ould Billy Big Boots bit. I here Holloway has had a revolving door fitted in the players dressing room
@Eddie Grace: If we can get rid of him and get Federici from Reading that would be a result . I think Bywater reminds me of Pat Cuff we need Another
Great keeper thats the start of a solid deffence

Come on millwall
Simeon Jackson next Ian, we will be flying, IH has got to be walls best signing ever, what he says he does, my way or no way the mans got a pair.
Keogh going makes sense, Trotts not so. He is our most valuable player and should be cashed in for a proper amount of money. Not on a free with a possible crap amount in the Summer.
@WestKentLion:
mate, he was out of contract in the summer so would have gone for free. He didn't want to sign again with us, even after he was offered double his money. To be fair, we haven't got a whole load of clubs smashing down the door to buy him, so whatever we can get for him now is better than nothing later on. He's had his day, now he can go and make space for someone who wants to play like a lion! IH legend!
Welcome to Millwall Ed! COYL
Welcome Ed to the IH Millwall revolution.
Welcome to the Den Ed Upson hope you have a succesful time at this great club. Thanks too Liam Trotter for recommending Millwall in such "glowing terms" to you. Shame he had to leave.
Never known such ezciting times at the club for a long time, now for Reading! They need taking down a peg or two.
Let's hope these boys can play like we all think they can and keep us up coyl

Welcome to mfc Ed, looking forward to seeing you in a wall shirt, great times ahead but a lot of work to be done in the mean time.
good luck.
Does any 1 know y he is ineligible ??
@alipally22:
Permanent Signings had to have been registered by Midday Friday to be eligible for Saturday's game.
Loans are a lot easier to process, so they only need to be signed by 11pm to become eligible.
Just good old Red Tape getting in the way.
Another good buy well done IH and AA. Millwall are looking good, welcome to the DEN ED Upson.
Could be interesting for him come a week on Tuesday when we travel down to the west country hahaha
Welcome to the den Ed, give 100% that's all we simple folk ask for and expect. Good luck mate.
IMO one of the best Millwall signings for years. Young quality player ala Rae. Well happy with our window dealings. Could have done with a few more outs!!!!!!!!
Probably the first time I've been excited about millwall transfer deadline day in my life
Thank you JB,AA & IH for getting my weekend off to a great start.
Now all we need is a good 3 points tomorrow.
C.O.Y.L
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL

Should be better than Trotter.
