Guest av1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We needed to recall him due to our laughable options at CB, but let's not forget why we sent him out on loan in the first place or how happy we all were to see the back him. He is incredibly poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s played really well of late, at this level, he is a very good centre back in my opinion and he just seems like a very likeable bloke in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is incredibly poor. He is not Paolo Maldini but is competent at this level. Bruce never fancied him and killed his confidence He has done well since he came back and better than **** Jedinak at centre back Edited January 24, 2019 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nonsense centre back who leads, talks , takes responsibility, cleans house and puts his head where it hurts. No longer looks a total bomb scare though partnership with Chester could be worked on. Still silly balls coming between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t over impressed during his first spell, but under Eddie Howe he was captain of a promoted team. So he clear can be a decent player, hopefully his reported decent displays continue.

villalad21 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm very happy with Elphick and Chester, we just need to sort the fullback problem and we're good i think. Hutton and Taylor will do the same mistakes every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Tommy was great yesterday. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a one year extension. Chester is the problem he looks like he isn't struggling with the injury which isn't his fault. The club need to hurry and sort the cb situation out. I would have liked hause to have got some game time if we were abit more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He was solid, which is everything we want at the moment, only really undone (both him and Chester) by the long ball over the top but made up for it with the goal saving slide. He made a beautiful cross field pass at the end of the game to Kodjia as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for the coffee or dining but presumably they are contract offers for next season as his contract runs out with Villa in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came in, had a little chat with the guy that works there, I stared at him a few times, I couldn’t work out whether it was Elphick or not. I went over to him and said ‘’Are you Tommy Elphick?’’, he said ‘’yes’’ and then I said ‘’Are you going to leave in the Summer?’’ and then he said ‘’I have a few offers on the table’’ and then finally I said ‘’ You played really well against Ipswich’’ and then he left without buying anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
