Loved Elano, he was one of my favourite players but even I admit he was a lazy dog at times and for much of his final season in fact. But still, with the right manager he could have played better for us. The reason he got sulky is because Hughes didn't play him much at all for ages but I think with our desperate need for creativity in our team he could be a regular right now if he worked hard. But the question is, could Mancini have changed his mentality back to how it was in 2007/2008? He was showing some of his old form towards the end of his last season with us, I was pretty sad to see him go and we never really replaced him in the transfer market... there is probably better out there we could get now.
