Reading reportedly looking to take Tommy Elphick from Villa.

SSN are reporting we’ve made a bid. Of course, we all know they have a bit of a history of making tits of themselves over false transfer rumours.

Tommy could do a good job for Reading. Surprised it hasn't worked out for him at Villa really. He was captain of the Bournemouth team that gained promotion from the Championship. A big presence in the dressing room too. His career has stagnated and he needs to move on.

Seems like a good move for the lad, from a near bottom of the Championship club with another struggling season looming, to a Premier league team who have in the past week shown their resolve/intent.
Big thumbs up from me

No way do we want to SING anyone from a TINPOT team who nearly got relegated to League 1. We need to get players a lot better than this

This does not make sense. People are pissed off about selling Goldson who we bought from Shrewsbury but are not happy with a player who has been playing for a team in a higher division, Reading. Are we saying we can only buy players from the Premier league or from top foreign leagues ffs?

Tommy E has been on loan at Reading since January but injury prevented him from playing much.

Not the same player since that Achilles injury he got at Bournemouth

Was waiting for someone to point that out to those mentioning the rumour but clearly not realising he’d been there last season
As discussed in many earlier posts, it depends on the qualities of the player. An endless list of relegated or near relegated teams, contained one or two or more players who turned out to be excellent elsewhere.

As annoying as it may be for you, you think he’d be a good signing for us and prem level quality?
I hear what you’re saying.
But there is a big difference purchasing as a championship club and a PL club, it is easier to nurture players in a lower division when mistakes aren’t always punished.
The PL is very unforgiving.

It would allow us to play further up the pitch. Our back four is too slow to do so at the moment.

That's the one remaining weakness of Dunk, now he's sorted his temperament out.
A question: how quick do you think Duffy is?

Hard to say. For me, he’s one of those Dwight Gayle “Too good for the Championship, not good enough for the Premier League” type players. But, he could do well in the right team and given a chance in the side.
A chap in the know on our forums says that an enquiry was made from you, but we turned it down straight away. It wasn’t an official bid but apparently you quoted less than £4m, which was probably laughed out of the office.

We paid 4 million for Duffy. I don't think Moore is worth more. I personally think Goldson is better

The market is weird. And I think it depends how long they have on their contract remaining, and how much their wages are. Moore signed a 4 year deal last summer, and is on around £20-25k a week, I think.
Middlesbrough are quoting £20m for Gibson - an English centre back of a similar age - Moore is very close, if not as good, as he is.

Would you take Norwood back? And hemed in a swap deal?

Gibson has looked good when I've seen him and would agree 4M for Moore is laughable. Though 20M kind of is too. Meet in the middle and about right. For either.
If Dunk and Duffy get snapped up next year we could do far worse than a pacey pairing of Goldson and Moore though!
I have a feeling they might be looking at Goldson going out on loan again even though we feel he's good, he just needs to be playing solidly in say the Championship until Xmas so we know for sure.
