Whose going to pay a fee when he only has a year left on his contract - on decent wages at villa. For what it's going to cost I would keep him around.

Say your brothers girlfriend cuts his hair and Elmo had said he is settled in the area and is happy to be a squad player. !!!!!

Spray Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 24 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Keep him around. I'm sure he'll still get games. And an experienced guy behind the scenes, we don't have many of those left now. Completely agree. He also has a very good cross on him and rarely puts a foot wrong when called upon. If it wasn't for his whipped cross that set-up El Ghazi in the POF who knows where we would be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Elmo seems to have been around the English game forever and he's looked about 35 for nearly as long. I always get shocked when I remember he's 32. If he had pace he'd still be quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He still has a role to play. Happy to have him here for his last year. He has been bloody good value for it thats for sure. Thank you Steve Bruce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 he knows he's a bit part player at Villa and he equally knows he'll never be at a bigger club than he is right now. he has one more season on his contract and there's nothing wrong with keeping him here. If he becomes our first choice full-back then we're having a bad season again and the problem won't be that we're playing Elmo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2020 Simply not worth selling him to a rival for what we would get for him, we should keep him another year and I’m sure we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm sure he'll be happy staying, he'll get a much better next contract with the buying team having to pay nothing to us, and the same teams that might be interested in him now would still be interested in him next year. I do think we'd sell him if we get a decent offer, but don't think it would be worth doing so given the rest of the turnover that needs to happen and the fact I think he'd be happy staying as a sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Guess it all depends on if we will have room in our 25 man squad for 3 right backs when you consider Konsa can play there too. Might see him depart to the championship in the extended domestic window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 All depends on who we bring in and how many players I guess. And of course which other players leave. 25 man senior squad, we currently have 4 senior keepers, 4 CB's, 2 LB's, 2 RB's (3 including Bree who is leaving right?) 5 CM's, 4 wide players, and 4 attackers. I imagine some will be shipped out to make room for hopefully much better players. Squad size will still be 25 thou unless they adjust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 We badly need a RW, imho Elmo is the most competent RW we have on the books even though he is not played there, we can't have trez or AEG or even elmo there going into the new season, need a bloody RW now!

To me Guilbert is too incosistent and he cannot cross. With Emo i know what expect. A solid 6/10 performance every week. Also has a good cross on him.

Popular Post samjp26 Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 Special mention for Elmo trying to help out Cash from the sidelines, I really hope he retires here, proper professional and clearly a solid component in our squad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
