Be ridiculous to sell elphick with only terry and Chester as cbs RDL Bree & Jedi can play CB or Richards of course Didnt Gaby once say he wanted to play at the back at the end of his career? Or is Elphick ahead of those 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn`t perform very good against Wigan the other week at centre backs, or at full back for that matter, happy to keep Elphick here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Good squad player at the very least. He didn't show his Bournemouth side often enough last year but I just can't accept that he's rubbish that needs shifting. We're far more heavily stocked in other positions. Elphick as a stand in is bloody good cover imo. Edited August 31, 2017 by Wezbid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ssn reporting we have rejected a 1m bid for elphick. What a joke offer that is. Clowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I wouldn't sell a CB that would mean we are one injury away from playing a lad who couldn't get a kick at Cheltenham for the sake of 1m and wages saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did we rush through the signing of bedeau on deadline day - he seems miles away from first team selection . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We pay lip service to young players, Bruce is saying that he's convinced that youth is the way forward but I don't believe that he will follow through on that. Davis is now flavour of the month, and before that Calum O'Hare. Watch them disappear when the likes of Agbolahor and Jedinak get fit. (O'Hare's disappeared all ready) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have left him on loan at bury as they asked for and continue his development with games there rather than being him back here to be 6th or 7th choice . Not questioning signing him but why we insisted on him not being loaned out when he is so far away from first team action . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loans are good and well but only after they have learnt the basics that are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
