TBH I know nothing about him other than a centre half

Can it be that RDM has talent spotted this guy already or is there another way that we scout for potential players?

And more to the point  - whose money are we using to buy him?

Remember our scout who should have been in Germany or Spain but ended up going to Uni? It was Bournemouth Uni.

verdict from the bournemouth fan at work on elphick:

"good leader, but lacks pace. does a job in the championship but struggled with the step-up to the premier league."

A good leader is a step up from any of our defenders this season.

Even if the takeover isn't 100% surely we've gotta to start to strengthen now, Club has sky money, sponsor money etc?

He is a totally immobile lump who won't have got any quicker over the course of this last year. If he's coming here as a defensive coach with some brief as a registered player then that is perfectly OK. Otherwise, Jesus H. C. I hope he's not putting too big a dent in that lovely 50 mill that Dr X has earmarked for player acquisition.

For Elphick see Sims, S. He worked out well enough for one season.

I was just thinking that. Sometimes you need those type of players to help get you out of the division.

I don't know anything about him, but he must have been better than a useless big lump to have won the league with Bournemouth as their captain.

Now, I know I don't keep up with all the world's football as well as I used to, but what exactly is Tommy Elphick?

Central defender, started last season pretty well but got an injury in the autumn and was out for a while then couldn't get back into the team. I think.

We're living the Xia dream already.  So exciting.
