JPAngel Posted June 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2016 2 minutes ago, hippo said: not really - because if they say 'no i want to move' they are effectively transfer listing themselves - which means they have to pay around 10% of the transfer fee. Players don't request moves formally anymore - they speak to agent - who gets a club to bid - if the club accepts the fee - the player moves without ever requesting a move thus moves on more benefical terms ......(for him) That's simply not true. If they request a transfer they lose a loyalty bonus, they don't have to pay a percentage of the transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say was that it is clear to us who should stay so hopefully if that is also clear to RDM then we will be keeping the better players.

JPAngel Posted June 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2016 Further to the above, Birmingham Mail (Gregg Evans) is about to run this Elphick story too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - Im sure RDM would want to keep Ayew, Gana, Amavi (he probably knew that 2 weeks ago) - but wanting to keep them - and them actually staying are two different things. I am sure Sherwood would liked to have kept Benteke and Delph last season - ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Elphick started Bournemouth's first 6 league games then got injured for about 5 months and started their last 6 games. Hopefully he's over that now but an experenced player who knows the lower leagues, I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2016 We get players like elphick in the positions we need with their recent experience leading or contributing to promotion from this league then there is not much more we could possibly ask for.

LockStockVilla Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If we are after more players with experience in gaining promotion from the Championship, Tommie Hoban from Watford would be another great addition. Still quite young with potential to improve as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Fair play to di matteo. Elphick at 3 million is a solid piece of business. Can only go on what we've seen recent years and he looks a solid and competent CB, better than anyone we have at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get on with the solid but unspectacular build of the rest of the squad. Would not only excite us but would show intent to some of the players thinking about / trying to move on. Honestly ...I'd rather keep Ayew, than invest heavily this year. I think he would rip up the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
