Elano Gone [Merged]

Thanks for the good times Elano and goodluck in the future.

Bit disappointed that he's gone he was brilliant to watch under Sven, But he was never in Hughes plans, Good move for him to move on because I doubt that he would of even got on the bench next season.
 
Wow, where were the ITK's on that one??!! Thought he'd leave but not to Turkey....

Good Luck Elano and Thanks for some great memories. Enjoy the derby(?) against Vass's mob!
 
bad decision to sell....class act when he wanted to be and was our best player since the hamburg game
 
Yeah, with Elano gone, we could certainly do with an attack minded midfielder who can play through the middle. Ireland is quality there, obviously, but if he were to be injured, or require resting, then I'm not sure who the replacement would be. SWP can play there, but it's not his best position. We've got cover out wide with SWP, Robinho, Petrov, Weiss and Etuhu being more than capable (obviously to varying degrees) of playing there.

With Sniejder and Van der Vaart on the transfer list at Real I'd be extremely interested in seeing if we can attract one of them.

You didn't need to be an ITK to know he would be leaving.Guessing where he would go to was the hard part.

Fucking stupid decision selling him.

1. He has sorted his personal issues out and got his form back and over the past maybe 10 games he's been outstanding, motm sometimes

2. We need creative players to feed the strikers with clever through balls and a bit of class. Elano has this in abundance.

3. He was the best penalty taker ever to wear a sky blue shirt. Awesome penalties.

4. IF it wasn't working out, we could have let him go at Christmas. We should have tried him out with Adebayor and Tevez and seen how it went. Was his attitude OK, how did he perform etc. It was worth 4 months of experimentation with the new team.

Selling him now is a moronic decision based on personal prejudices. Totally ridiculous.

Unfortunately most of those prejudices were Elano's.
Agree with waiting until Christmas - but he couldn`t cope with competition last year so didn`t bode well for the new season.
