I told my friends since the second half of his first season we need a play maker type to replace him. Last season was not hard feeling as well not seeing him in our starter.
But really don’t know why I am now dealing with hard feeling of his departure. I find it very hard to turn my head out of thinking about him not playing for us anymore.
So tired to find the reason how the feeling hit me. Now I accept I am gutted and gutted.

How do you know none of them made enquiries? He will be at a big club in a couple of years.

Doubt it.

I am convinced of it. Once he plays regular football and plays football at a club that appreciates his talents, he will shine enough to be picked up by a big club.

It seems to me he's rated more by opposition fans than City fans. Too many over-reacted and got the hump over the interviews he did and then call him a shite player which he clearly isn't.

For a start he'll be 30 in a couple of years. Do you not wonder why he's never been a first team regular outside of Brazil? He's clearly talented enoguh to play for the Brazilian national team, but there's something there that's stopping him reaching the top level of club football.

That seems to be the Hughes' target cohort. He's signings are all mostly that age.
IMO, Elano's departure says a lot about our manager's limitations. He's buying a solid premiership side and I fully expect us to do top 6 next season and top 4 after that. I don't think he's capabale of winning anything though.
