Elano is a cnut and doesn't have the strength of character or bottle/courrage to succeed in the prem.
He's just like veron was and needs to go abroad where he can prance about like a little fairy and spray long balls about

Some of the people on this thread have been drinking too much coffee!!
IMO Elano no longer wants to play for us. Why, i do not know, perhaps its the alleged Brazillian clique, or that MH doesn't love him, or he does not like being anything less than top dog. I dont know any of this.
But what i do know is his perfomance on the pitch is not nearly good enough. For the first 10 games or so last season he was a revelation, but once the opposition learned to kick him up in the air and/or close his space, he dropped away badly, and became for focused more on snarling and snapping at the opposition. Since then he has never got near to those original performances. Every now and then in a game he shows a flash of what he can do, a good crossfield pass, or a ball into a players run, but this is nowhere near enough in terms of contribution. He is now being carried by other players around him, and those players can only just carry themselves!
IMO for these reasons alone he should be dropped or sold.

does anyone have more of an idea on what happened between studge and elano at the game yesterday? havent seen it yet but heard there was an argument on the touchline with them involving hughes.
General consensus here seems to be that we all value how good Elano was when he arrived but like many creative players who need a 2nd and 3rd touch in the Premiership they are found out very quickly by the opposition, either man marking or kicking out of the game. Elano sadly doesnt have the pace either to keep up with the pace of the premiership to meet his game. He would do well in Italy or Germany where you get a bit more time on the ball. We are not a selling club but if he is causing a problem in the dressing room then get rid along with a few others and lets get some new blood with winning mentality in there

Elano a disgrace? Why? He was one of our best players yesterday and was always trying to make things happen. He started off well but couldn't really get into his stride because everytime he beat a Forest player he was fouled. There was at least two occasions inside the first 20 minutes where Elano played a superb ball over the defence but Caceido took far too long to make the run and it ended up going through to the keeper and then there was the superb ball through to Sturridge in the second half which he put a mile wide. Lets face it Elano wasn't great but nor was anyone yesterday but at least he was trying to make things happen and his passing for most of the game yesterday was pretty good, with better players round him he'll show his quality i'm sure of that
Theres plenty more players who we should be looking to get rid off before Elano

This was my over-riding reaction to the game as well. Didn't realise this thread existed, but it echoes exactly my feelings.gkelly1972 said:All this prick has done for weeks is to add to an already difficult situation by being a fucking child, causing issues in the dressing room and not even warranting a place on the bench. I actually think Hughes has felt under pressure to play this twat, when what he should have done weeks ago is exactly what that bulbus nosed red fucker does on a regular basis.."thats your last game at this club son, end of storey"
I want our current boss to show some fucking balls
I question why Elano keeps being selected. I was at Blackburn last week, and he was anonymous. And the minute it gets tough, he disappears again. happens week in week out.
I can't believe he does it deliberately, but it has crossed my mind. More likely he just doesn't have the all-round game and mental strength to play in the Premiership
It was particularly harmful as our team yesterday was set-up for our play to go through him with 2 wide men for him to pick out, a central runner, and two defensive midfielders to cover him, and win the ball for him
Get rid
If Elano is a disgrace, then what the fuck are:
-Fernandes
-Vassell
-Ball
-Benjani
Get rid of that shit deadwood first before you speak of Elano. Once we have much more quality players in the team, Elano will have more space and time on the ball as teams will be marking Villa and Robiniho etc so he should flourish. Hughes is just a prick that wouldn't play him when he was on top of his game.
