Tommy Elphick's future at the club has been pretty uncertain for quite a long time. Reports have suggested that Reading are keen to sign him on a permanent deal this summer.

Let common sense prevail , if we can get him fit and his confidence up he will be a real asset this season.

Must have something about him for the Bournemouth fans to hold him in such high regard. Seems a model professional so definitely worth a try IMO. We all know the expectation and surroundings can take time to come to terms with. Needs a run of games pre season.

6 years younger than JT, he's decent enough I think his confidence was low , that can be improved by good man management etc

Yep. All makes sense really. I have thought he was a bit of a liability but with the current situation it would be foolish to get rid. Exhibit A : Scottish cafu, written off to easily and derided but now an example of sticking with a player.

Bit like Curtis Davies when his confidence is high he's rock solid , a couple of mistakes and he goes to bits . Not helped by the growns from the crowd .
I doubt we'll find a better player for nothing and he was playing ok when Terry was out
