Elano

Unfortunately all of our Brazilians (players rather than muffcuts) all displyed the charicature, steroetypical chracteristics we might have expected. Robinho, Elano and Jo, I am sure are all fantastic talents, but in reality none of them has ever shown it consistently at City or anywhere else as far as I can see (although I ma not sure how Elano is currently doing). The have all come across as lazy, can;t be arsed types. Yes, there have been occasional games that refute this (Elano vs Hamburg at City for instance), but I am not sure that they have anyone to blame for their predicaments but themselves.

I will always support any player in a City shirt and therefore will back Robbie, but am I sorry to see the back of Elano and Jo - no. Was their fate Hughes' fault - no it was theirs although i concede that Hughes was not a man to suffer fools gladly. Now it is up to to Robbie to extract a digit from his backside and show us he is a world class player. I am sure he is, but cannot say he has shown this whilst playing for the club I support.
 
Elano hit one outstanding pass every 10 attempts - not enough.

And don't get me started on his corners ...

Well rid, but will always love THAT free kick.
 
This is what I posted when I heard Elano was gone

Knowing the Brazilian temperament very well having spent the last 6 years working with them I expect Robbie to have a crap year and predict people will be saying get rid by the end of the year. This was a very strong move by MH who better not fall out with any of our new players or we are fucked.

I stand by it. The Welsh **** couldn't manage Elano and it's cost us Robinho.

I think it just emphasises the point, stay away from signing Brazillians, they're not worth the hassle. IMO, the only South Americans who you can rely on are the Argies, and even then they can be awkward.
 
Can't believe people still drone on about this over rated waster.

He occasionally hit a good pass, his corners were the worst in the memory of man, his attitude was deplorable and 9 times out of 10, he was a complete passenger.

If he was that good he would not have been at Shakhtar and he would not have ended up in Turkey, he would have been in Spain, Italy or England.

He would walk straight into this team now, another player hughes fucked off like he did with Dunny,

When Ireland is not playing the creativity and midfield is at loss and it's empty, Elano would of slotted into this team no problem and under mancini he wouldn't of been a naughty boy!

Yes he gone, who's Elano? but he's another player we stupidly got rid of.

For Gods sake. Overrated waste of space. Bullied week in, week out by other proper Premiership players. Poisonous in the dressing room. Now playing in Turkish league. What is your weird obsession with this joker? He is gone and good riddance. Hopefully we can put Robinho on the next boat to Sao Paolo too.

lol, you're an over-rated waste of space. hint. stop believing tabloids you muppet
 
I do miss Ela, but he is long gone.

the problem we have however is a complete lack of creativity in midfield, this is a result of hughes inabllity to undestand, that grafters alone wont win you fuck all.

I was rather hoping we would bring in a creative midfielder, and not a another dm.

Love this forum, people pull stats out of their arse, pretend it's true then use it to support their petty name calling.
