Don't laugh yet but i think Elney could be transformed into a very decent sweeper in the style of David Luiz, he would of course need time and a whole preseason to adjust and become accustomed to the role but i think he could be ideal as the middle CB in a 3 man defensive unit.
Ok now you can laugh :-)

I have heard he is good with a brush, don't know if that's a paint brush or sweeping brush. Ha ha ha that's me laughing at your joke not mine.

Who'd have said this time last year that Victor Mosses would be a full back in a team that's topped the table for most of the season or that 3 seasons back Le Coq would become at hit at Arsenal as DM when he was stuck on the Charlton bench unable to get a game in the championship.
Elney is extremely willing to learn and do whatever is asked of him which he has shown by calming down considerably from the childlike player who first arrived chasing all over the place trying to get as many touches of the ball as possible because he was desperate to impress. He's a team player and not without ability he would just need to put in the hours in training to learn a new trade which he doesn't strike me as being afraid of.

Gunner he's a good squad player a nice bloke and that's all he is for me. If he's a regular anywhere on the team I won't be thrilled, he's proved nothing yet except he can't get in. I hope you are right and he becomes our very own kaiser.

I doubt very much we will ever find out Steve mate but i think he has the same potential as Mosses Le Coq and lots of others who have gone from squad players in one position to 1st choice regulars another.

Moses is a stop gap for chelsea.

Stop gap or not he is having an excellent season in a team that's toping the table in April and has been an ever present in that team Derby mate, hope you get to say the same about Elney next season and i get to give you the exact same reply :-)
