Decent midtable L1 player hahaha a player doesn't makes a team mid table...where did MK Dons finish...? He will add comp and 5 players now compete for 2/3 places...
I think he is too good for L2, but not good enough to take us into the Championship. For a mid-table L1 side with no real aspirations to go any further he is a good fit.

Would you consider him any better than the 4 current midfield players ?

Daft thing to say considering he's played in the championship with other teams ? Who are you expecting us to sign ffs ?

I personally think he is a good fit for what we already have in the building and will work well alongside a Sercombe or Lines. My first choices would have probably been Jay Spearing, Bryn Morris or Alessandro Mastalli, but more than happy with Upson.

What's wrong with saying L1 is his level? I said he is a decent player and too good for L2.

After last season id say better than Ollie Clarke, same level as Sincs, but not as good as Lines or Sercombe.

So do you think he will improve our team better than 13th ?

I don't think he will make much difference personally but that's just my opinion. When I say he is better than Clarke I wouldn't say its a massive gap, especially if Clarke recaptured his form of the 2016/17 season

If he is no better than what we have, why did DC go for him ?

Obviously he see's something more than I do.
I'd have tried to get Ryan Yates from Forest but that would have to be on loan.

Exactly what we need.
We should be changing and freshening up the squad like this with players with L1 and Championship experience.
Good signing on paper. Look forward to seeing how he plays.

For me- this is the Mansell type that we’ve missed.
Another club in the bag.

Nothing wrong , you can say what you like , I think when you say that league 1 is his level that you are wrong as he's clearly good enough to play at a higher leve as he's played in the championship previously for a couple of seasons.

Dc has already stated that he doesn't want to deal in the loan market if he doesn't have too , he wants permanent acquisitions to the squad so we gain the benefit long term and not the to the teams loaning the players out.

If the right player became available and was significantly better than the other options, I hope we would do the deal even if it was a loan.

But dc never really plays the loan players he brings in as he wants our players to succeed, as he should . I much prefer our new additions to be permanent deals as in the long run it benefits the club.

Sometimes it’s a mix of players that get a team promoted not any one individual. If this means Sercombe is released to play further forward it will allow us to get the best of a top top league one player and give us a bit of balance to the midfield as I think we lacked a midfielder who can sit slightly deeper, Linesy did his best covering but I think we had to get someone into do the job properly. Also has experience of being promoted out of this division and playing in the tier above which is exactly what we need.

Another Wide player and we have strong Midfield, i would like to see Sercombe back in the middle.
