Tommy Elphick

[brianwade]

Be a great addition to the squad.2010 / 11 our
player of the year . Experienced in the Premier
league . Brighton boy . 29 yrs . Does nt look that
keen on Villa either. We will need more
defenders so why Tommy ?

 

[Don Tmatter]

Not good enough for Bournemouth in PL not good enough for us in PL

[scooter1]

So much this. We already have better

 

[severnside gull]

Not good enough for Bournemouth in PL not good enough for us in PL

Not even good enough for Villa in the Championship

 

[scousefan]

He's an old fashioned defender. Villa have been playing three across the back and that doesn't suit him. Great personality - he was Bournemouth Claire b captain. I'm. It sure he's right for our current squad but I wouldn't dismiss him out of hand

 

[brighton terra]

I'm not sure I'd even want Steve Cook back now! The centre of defence is one area where we don't need strengthening!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Both good ex-players but not what we need. Not MUCH worse than what we have now but no better and we have depth and youth (relatively) there.

I reckon it's a no unless we decided we wanted to play 3 at the back which as pointed out wouldn't suit TE

 

[scousefan]

I wonder if we might need one central defender as cover for Goldson. There must still be questions on whether he is ok to play. I'd like to get Tomori on loan again...

 

[Surf's Up]

This is a wind-up, right?

How's the hangover this morning ?

 

[Stat Brother]

and people wonder why I get so titsy about Albion fans being so unbelievably narrow minded.

How many centre backs are currently playing world football?
How many are beyond Premier League Brighton?
How many are beneath Premier League Brighton?

The sweet spot must still be in the hundreds, and our fan(s) think Aston Villa substitute Tommy freakin Elphick is the answer.


If it weren't for the fact this is NSC I'd say un-fookin-believable.

 

[elwheelio]

He's on £35,000 p/w at Villa and can't get in the team. Great guy but no thanks.

Very much so. Goldson played little this season before the heart operation and did not reach the heights of last season. Now we are a division up. I am sure there will be a central defender coming in and Tomori looks very decent.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Why didn't we get Joel Lynch while we're at it.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

he was Bournemouth Claire b captain. I'm.

Lost me here!

I'd have that boy all day, even if on another season long loan.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Tomori would be nice, like him.
Could quickly become the new Des Walker, but better in the air.

 

[GT49er]

Not good enough for Bournemouth in PL not good enough for us in PL

Not even good enough for Villa in the Championship

You're missing the point - the point is that he played for us before! That is the essential (or only) criteria for recruitment on NSC!

Expect to see threads about the return of Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood, Joel Lynch and Stephen Ward any day now. Not to mention Kucsjak (sp?), Gareth Barry, Sam Vokes, et al. Probably not one about Leon Best though.......................................

 

[samtheseagull]

Remember when everyone was slagging Tomori off after that OG in the cup.
