Elano was a good player albeit inconsistent. The fact that Hughes didn't get the best out of him was just as much Elano's fault as it was Hughes'. That said, good to see him back at the stadium but no way can he be called a legend.
Elano got 50 caps for Brazil (one more than Fernandinho currently has) - so no need to be so dismissive of a fantastic player. I am yet to see a better free kick than the one he scored against Newcastle.
The criticism levelled at Elano was his workrate, well Aguero is covering on average 2k (20%) more than he used to under Pep. I think Elano could easily have found a role for himself in this team. He was certainly talented enough.
Fifty Brazil caps are pointless? Fuck me.He was talented enough yes, the frustration is every other a day a thread on how good a player would be under Pep and this time it being a player who started fantastic for us and then drifted off. Brazil caps are pointless, especially when he played in a very very poor Brazil team during that period. I loved him at City, he wouldn't get near our team now though. Tarnat scored great free kicks too, i'm not going to start a thread on how well he would have played under Pep...………..

I don't know.Fifty Brazil caps are pointless? Fuck me.
I think he would have been good enough to get in our current squad, you don't. Thats absolutely fine, but saying 50 caps for Brazil is pointless is fucking ludicrous.
