Players Leaving

[The Growler]

I know the contempt some rumours receive via this site but I am going to put something out there anyway .... I was informed that Tommy Elphick is in advanced talks with the SCUM that is PALACE!!!! any views? I would be gutted to see this local product leave ....

 

[Marc]

whats the CRICKET BALL icon gotta do with it? was scared for a moment then

 

[Mackenzie]

They couldn't afford him.

 

[severnside gull]

sounds reasonable tbh.

could we do a swop deal for Neil Danns or Darren Ambrose?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Please don't let this be true, for me, the fans, the club and the player. West Ham, West Brom, Wolves, Fulham any club that can give a good player and servant of the club a real chance ... Pilarse no f**king way. That is all.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

That sounds likely, who can blame him with Tanno getting the nod today.

 

[Mackenzie]

I'd rather he stayed and fought for his place.

that is a silly response
El Abd and Greer are the most consistent centre back pairing we have had in years. Breaking them up unless in an absolute emergency would be crazy and Elphick can't play right back!

Why would Elphick want to go to a bunch of pot less relegation candidates ?

 

[Working class pride]

Why would Elphick want to go to a bunch of pot less relegation candidates ?

because he cant get a game with us at the moment and knows that next year BHA will buy and he wont get a game next year? I like the idea of palace being Brighton's reserves, we need a feeder club

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

According to Palace fans who post on here their new owners supposedly have money to splash in order to avoid relegation.

 

[Mackenzie]

Could be something in it:

Tommy Elphick - CPFC BBS

 

[Stevie Boy]

i can't see it happeneing, players want to play at the highest level possible, but going there will be a HUGE step down in his career

 

[HastingsSeagull]

We have Dunk as a back-up. I'd rather Elphick fought for his play but if we were to get a fee, he's a good defender but maybe not a great fit for Gus' system?

 

[Del Boy]

Can't see it. He's got a bit more about him than being a new Joel Lynch.

 

[Goring Gull]

No great loss in my opinion

 

[severnside gull]

It would be a real shame to see him go but you could understand it from his perspective if he chose to go elsewhere to get first team football.
He is easily good enough to play for Palace, maybe too good as he might not be up to the rough stuff that they like to employ instead of playing football.
Hopefully he stays but no surprise and good luck to him if he chooses otherwise. He is no Joel Lynch and I don't think his career will go down the toilet like Lynch's no matter what he decides.

 

[GT49er]

Greer and El Abd aren't going to go through the rest of the season free of injury and / or suspension, so no reason the off-load Elphick.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He didn't look too pleased today. He didn't join in with the group hug after our first goal and trotted past the pack of players with a brief acknowledgement of the players. A shame if he does leave, but not the end of the world.
