Aston Villa centre-back Tommy Elphick has been linked with a move to Queens Park Rangers.

Aston Villa fans are not keen on the idea of Tommy Elphick leaving them to join Queens Park Rangers.

According to Sky Sports, QPR want Elphick on loan for the remainder of the season.

Although the centre-back has not exactly been a star performer for Villa, he still remains a viable candidate to start in their defence.

And with Villa’s defensive options so low at the moment, claret and blues fans cannot understand why Bruce would even contemplate allowing Elphick to leave.

Elphick has played fairly regularly for Villa this season, and even though some of his performances have been below par, he is an experienced performer at Championship level.

Villa have been forced to use Mile Jedinak out of position at centre-back regularly, and that is a tactical move that many Villans fans are not keen on.

Bruce is already under pressure at Villa, so letting go of a player who most fans appear to want to keep, could backfire on him.

Villa are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Sheffield United, and it remains to be seen whether Elphick will still be at the club for that game.
