Erm, the bid was rejected. Elanga hasn't had a say yet

Dua Lipa has more England caps than Catts

They already have Saka, Salah, etc tbf mind. And Spurs have the PSR freedom to pay what can afford Mbuemo.

He just has to have a higher technical ability than Murphy tbh.

Just to add, I’d be more open to Elanga if we get someone in like JP who can play between the lines a bit more. Because that would open up more space for our wingers than our current setup does while also giving us more variety in our game. Even then I would prefer a different player, especially if it’s much more than 40m. As we evolve and become a better team there will automatically be less transitions for us. Especially at home, as well as the non top sides away.

I’m not too fussed about Elanga, I honestly don’t think he’s got the quality to help move this team further forward

Thinking the same. There wont be many better counter attacking sides next season than us, but Im not sure other CL clubs would go after him.

So in this analogy do we just keep asking for the same beer at higher prices?

The loan system needs an adjustment to prevent this horseshit.

Doubt it.

We tried

Every Forrest fan I know says they they’d prefer to sell any other player in their squad over Elanga (similar to the convos we’re having about Isak). Doesn’t look like this is happening; would take daft money seemingly. Doesn’t seem like even 60m would sway them. Shame. Think he’d be perfect for us.

Irrelevant to say as it’s pretty obvious aye! It doesn’t mean that we have to get a snail that is technical like HBA. But someone on one of our flanks that offers more, and something different. Doesn’t mean a slow player.

I can see how his attributes would be an asset against the better teams, my immediate concern is dealing with the Fulbrightfordmouth type teams I.e. the mid table, spreadsheet shagging southern nonces who we always struggle to break down.

The main reason I'll take Elanga is to convince Isak to sign a new contract

OK, but Elanga won't in our setup? I don't know, I'm just assuming since he's a right footed RW.

Gifting Forest? They saved us!

I don't particularly want him but I don't mind if the club do. He's like a younger, better Murphy so will hopefully contribute a lot. I was expecting a left-footed wide forward who cuts inside more though.

Murphy prefers to play wider. He wants to occupy the same spaces as the full back.

If he was high level technically with those athletic attributes he'd be twice as expensive.

Do you negotiate further with the barman?

There’s no doubt that Howe could improve him. But he’s not suddenly going to become a player of high level technically.

It’s probably £45M + all sorts of add-ons.

Playing devil's advocate here but elanga only turned 23 in April and Murphy is 30 maybe it's not about someone different to Murphy just a younger replacement Howe can hopefully improve elements of his game.

How does he allow Tino to overlap more? He's right footed isn't he, so will also prefer to go outside?
