We've not replaced Elano

[OJ Blue]

Has anyone kept count of days without the Elano thread?

There's an unwritten rule on here that someone must create an Elano or a Richard Dunne thread a few days after we lose or get a disappointing draw.

not been on BM much until recently so apologies if this is a tired subject, it wasn't really intended to sing the praises of Elano, just to pinpoint our shortcomings of not replacing him.

Like some have alluded to, we should have gone for Van Der Vaart, Sneijder (my personal fave) or similar.

i'd take a 20 year old Ali B.

Where?

Alton towers.

wesley sneijder please - class act

Wasn't the intention that Michael Johnson was set to take that place, after his injury?

As I alluded to, a while ago, the removal of Elano came at a time he had actually decided to knuckle down and turned in some wonderful and consistent performances.

But, Hughes had had his infamous man management skills tested. His personal war came at the expense of our club. Even having a unpredictable playmaker is better than having none.

Loads of you scream "Get him out!" without the foresight of knowing how short it would leave us, in the 'guile' department! Some of us argued that Ireland could go off the boil, but the Screamers cried we need a hard-working midfield suited to the Prem. We have that, but your not happy.

And now we need a Locksmith... Go figure.

The idiocy is incredible on this board, at times.

funny that
you could substitute the word elano with robinho, and hughes with mancini and it would be just as true
except a different set of 'idiots'

Precisely. Or Ireland or NdJ or Given, me thinks.

Give me strength, it's a neverending set of fools with the same opinions.

I believe he is exactly the player this current side is missing but we really need to move on now.

Yes, I dream about City, that doesn't mean I'm sad and have no life.

Although you are anyway ;-)
