ok nick, first of all you are illiterate (seriusli!) which is anawyin enough, but more to the point, however talented Elano might be every now and again when he's in the mood and his ego's been stroked, he is as spineless and gutless as any player in our squad. When has he ever turned up in a tough game and made a difference? When has he ever taken control when we've been behind and turned a game around for us? He has a fascination with trying to pull of the Hollywood pass or the screaming 30-yard free kick but his net contribution is to concede possession when we can least afford it. Add the on-field squabbles and ill-timed comments in the media and the bloke is fucking bad news. He should never have been in today's squad and should be shipped off to Lazio before breakfast tomorrow.mcfc_nick said:im sorry but elano is one of the best players we have at the minute. we all know wot he can do n were doin shite this season n it cant be all his fault. if people think he doesnt like playin wen other brazilians arent playin then play them. im sorry but if jo isnt at least as good as benjani, caicedo or vassell (pffft) then he wouldnt be gettin anywer near the brazil team. elano is one of our best players n if we sell him well be makin our team worse n hughes will probli just fill his spot by playin another defensive midfielder wich will create an imense gap from defensive midfield to strikers. seriusli hamann kompany n fernandes all in the same team against NOTTS FOREST!!! wot were we duin playin for the 0-0!! Keep elano lose defensive midfielders n dont play defensively against a side who are fourth from bottom in the championship!! elano in HUGHES OUT!!!

he did fuck all,created nothing, bottled out of challenges, the corner incident not obvious enough for you, he doesnt enjoy playing when robinho isnt playing. vassell maybe shit but the guy tries and doesnt stop running, elano is just a tit who gives up when the going gets tough
MCRJON said:Vassell, Caceido, Dunne, Richards, Fernandez, Hamman, Ball were all crap today. Vassell and Richards have been crap all season so are we getting rid of them. To say keep the likes of Vassell becasue he tries is comical - lets herald the arrival of the likes of Bellamy and bring in Robbie Savage if thats what your after.
Today Vassell did fuck ll in the way of tracking back on the right so why are we attacking Elano, it was Sturridge who was screaming all sorts at Bowen in the second half while Elano was calmy trying to talk to Hughes who didnt even look at him but gave him a dissmissive wave of the hand. That was right in front of me and the Bowen/Sturridge argument was tells you a lot about the lack of harmony, Sturridge kept coming back over and Bowen was less than constructive.
Elano has more of the ball than any other city player in the games he player, he never hides when things are going poorly, where was SWP at Blackburn (oh sorry cant criticise Shaun can we).
At no point has Elano directly criticised Hughes in the press - if you actually read the article he says he praises Hughes - but points out that he hasnt spoken to him in two weeks, now if my boss didnt say anything to me for a fourtnight id be pissed and my company would go down the pan. Mh on the other hand has directly criticised people in the press but i suppose thats ok.
Elano is a top class player - we are not at the stage where we can talk about leaving out 25% of the Brazillian national teams midfield. When i watch him play for them he doesnt look like a luxury, so whats different? Maybe the problem is - as with many other members of the squad -that he is low on confidence and disallusioned with the horrific management.
Why is a player who is at his best playing through the middle playing on the left? First half Elano made good runs, played some great balls cross field to SWP/ Zabaleta and the other way to Sturridge - going to the Hull game the reason Ireland kept finding himself in acres of space was Elano drawing players and releasing the ball to him. Elano started most the moves that Ireland has the diret assist for.
You can point at his form - he was magnificent first half of last season, played injured over christmas and made a number of appearances at right back!! - but have you all forgotten that. This season he has played in all the games we have won - conincidence?? probably not. His form has not been consistant but name me a player who has been... no go on... oh yeah right - no ones has.

The point is you and the rest of the Elano fan club should question your god because there are better places to put your faith. Because with that twat its not about the Club its about Elano and his fckin fragile ego. You defend him like he's some kind of superstar whose (many) misdemeanors are outweighed by all the good work he has done for the Club. The problem is, he's not done anything significant for the Club. He scored a few goals last year, played well in less than 10 games, he doesn't play like he cares, he doesn't seem bothered about the team and he only seems bothered when HE doesnt spank the ball into the top corner from the free kick he wrestled off the nearest other player or when HE doesn't get a pass.
It's not a fan club dickhead, I'm expressing my opinion which just happens to be the opposite to a few morons on here.
I remember all the negative shite you posted on here last year. You are a worthless **** who can go on ignore as well. Makes reading the board quicker tbh when I don't have to wade through shite :)
