Elano v Robinho

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

If you had to re-sign one of them, which one would you opt for?

Although I thought Robinho was an amazing signing at the time - with hindsight I would probably go for Elano. Robinho was a pretty selfish player, albeit a very talented one.

Elano, on the pitch at least, was a team player and showed some sublime skills when he played.

It's a daft question, but I'll answer anyway

Robinho. He has the ability to beat the first man and when we're playing against a packed defense, this could be essential plus he was a great player on the break

Elano would slow us down even more

Robinho would be brilliant in our team now. He signed 3 years too early.

Easy robbie. Silva can do fat more than elano, robbie would excel in this side.

kinky or bernarbia or robinho would have been a lot harder question!!! to answer yours though, robinho in this side would have been good to see... to answer mine, kinky... but only just from bernarbia. Both were brilliant but sadly to good for the majority of players around them at the time.

Robinho is a wonderful player but like other Brazilians they have a problem settling in Europe. He would if his mind was settled be a wonderful addition that ability we are missing. He did sign 3 years too early.

So I take it Elano wasn't that impressive to most?

Its 3 years later he is even worse and AC Milan are struggling to sell him. He peaked at 21 then regressed every year since

Robinho. I'd love him to come back but for who?

I wouldn't say Brazilians have a problem settling in Europe - Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Marcelo, Maicon etc. The UK I would agree!
