Upson a top pro: Taylor

Birmingham goalkeeper Maik Taylor has insisted Matthew Upson “won’t throw his dummy out” if he fails to secure a move to West Ham before the January transfer window closes.

Upson has hit out at City for blocking his move to Upton Park after bids of £4m (€6m) and £6m (€9m) were rejected by the Coca-Cola Championship promotion-chasers.
