I look forward to our revised offer of £45m being submitted

This is last summer all over again I can smell it...Eddie says move early .... so we give the piggy bank a shake like a Yorkshireman going shopping OW MUCH? 😱

They are on par in this area.

He’s on holiday. His parting words were “things usually happen when I’m away”. Looks like he was right again

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. We also need to improve in general play when it comes to ball retention and controlling games. Also to conserve energy. That makes a massive difference over a season when it comes to both points as well as avoiding fatigue too often.

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?
