13 Years Ago Today - Elano

[blue b4 the moon]

It's still the best free-kick I’ve seen live, and possibly at all. I’m struggling to think of a better one I’ve seen on TV.

It was perfectly placed; right under the crossbar and right against the left-hand post.

Weather was better years ago.

It was a great hit, I'd place it in front of the Sane one and level with the Tevez one which gets no press.

That is just an opinion, pretty sure Nedum Onouha said on his podcast the exact opposite. Still its all about opinions, I thought he was a cracking player during that time.

Nedum Onouha was also highly critical about Mancini’s training methods and our former CEO lied about his e-mails being hacked when dealing with his late mother.

Elano was disruptive and regularly vanished in matches. Like many Brazilians, he prioritised playing for his country.

Are you sure it wasn’t Liberace and the reg was P1 ANO Dave ?

(Or Sanchez I guess).

Didn't Sanchez drive PEN 1S

And was Tarnat's better? Tough choice!

That goal took us to the top of the league if i remember rightly

That was one of the first squads which made me dream or believe we could win something.....

Elano had an attitude problem and was integral to the Brazil clique in the dressing room with Robinho and Berti. He had incredible talent but wouldn't apply himself. I'd single Portsmouth Away as a particularly bad Elano performance.

No shit sherlock. Do you think he and Robinho would have been at city if they performed consistently?

After years of mainly misery and failure it was a magical time watching these boys play every week. You wouldn't understand.
