I was believed so hopefully a height debate on reading talk ensues. He might not be the best player but he's managed to forge a career as a centre back despite only being 3ft 4, it's pretty impressive really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a man no larger than a field mouse, he was a very decent CB. Good luck Tommy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed two things when he signed. We needed an excellent centre back, and we needed a guy who would act like a professional, lead the team and put some pride into the shirt. He was one of those two things, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may provide insurance for that position with his versatility but he is not here to sit on the bench and that is why mourinho let him come here . DM is the area we have had problems and I’m sure he is going to be mainly in that role unless terry or Chester are out . So you honestly think that when we had only 3 CB's, we let one go right after signing Axel? So you think SB is crazy enough to leave us with on 2 CB's? You think less of him than i do then, and i dont think anything good about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Wish him well, it didn’t work out for him here but doesn’t mean he didn’t try. Think his influence as captain helped us to ship out some bad characters and he has helped rebuild the dressing room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He did alright over the xmas games. Small sample though. 16-17 was less glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ironically he could still help us get promoted if Reading can get something at Cardiff on the last day (and other results go for us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not although I guess Chester will probably move on if we don't go up. Would rather invest in a young CB or two if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah can’t see Chester staying another season in the Championship as there will be many suitors for him in the summer but there are already young CBs ready to come in from the U23s. Elphick should be sold or given a free in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
