Thank you Statto/Moomba
Elano has probably played his last game for us, Hughes strikes me as a man of principles, he clearly for whatever reason doesnt like/rate Elano........what we've got to worry about now is what impact this is going to have on Robinho?
He sees his best mate (one of the reasons he signed for us in the first place) being treated , rightly or wrongly, like dogsh9t..........will he throw his toys out of the pram? Wouldnt be the first time, look what happened at Real Madrid

Yes
At home, when Ireland, Robinho and SWP are available, I'd pick them every time
I've given up expecting anything from elano away from home.
He's had chances as recently as Everton at home, and Santander away. I can't remember the last time I saw him play well away. There's been some games, particularly Bolton away, when I've felt cheated by his 'efforts'. I don't work hard all week, and give so much emotional energy to my club, to see a talented but seemingly careless play give so little for the shirt.
At the start of the season, I thought Hughes would get him fit, and that we'd see some consistency as a result. He is fitter, but it hasn't had any effect on his game.

IF Robinho throws his toys out of the pram because his bestest mate has left the Club then he is a tw8t.
Sorry, but it's how I feel about frickin Footballers at this moment in time.

It doesnt help that he's been playing out of position all season either...........Ireland rightly merits to play just behind the striker (although I know he wasnt there today), but what happens if Ireland gets injured? The squad is paper thin as it is without selling the likes of Elano

He was involved in 39% of our goals last season, 4th best in the league.
And was involved in 21% of our assists, 4th best in the league.
And some people are trying to make out that he is rubbish.
All true but you may as well bang your head against a brick wall, as the ones who slate Elano will never give him credit no matter what he does. I've seen posts made after 10 minutes of a game to point out that he misplaced a pass, yet when Kompany or Ireland loses it or SWP runs down a blind alley it goes unmentioned. The anti-Elano clique stick to their mantra of "he's been crap for a year" without bothering to judge his performances in full.
Exactly moomba. This guy's a moron. Elano and Petrov were the reason we were in the top 9 last season, not Ireland or Dunne. Can't believe the blues on here slaggin him off. No loyalty at all. Hope he and Jo stay. Any manager but Hughes would keep Elano and start him...from Scolari to SGE. He's class, end of.
And stringin Clayton along for the ride must of sucked. He should've been in there not Gelson. Hughes could've turned to Mee earlier on in the season as well. What's the point 2 havin r brilliant Academy? Just to sell the talent off without ever using it r selves?

I think you're absolutely right. But, to be fair, I think Elano is held to higher standard than the players just mentioned because we saw what he is capable of doing in his first couple of months here (and unlike Kompany, Ireland and SWP, he's not performed as well as we know he can do for quite some time). I would disagree with anyone that says he is a poor player, he's clearly not, but his form has dipped and he consistently plays below par. That's frustrating for everyone, is it not?Disturbance said:moomba said:He was involved in 39% of our goals last season, 4th best in the league.

He's a good player on his day, brings the best out of robinho - isnt that what the wanker in charge wants?
Any other manager could see its worth playing him.
Kick our stupid fucking manager in the face!
