He’ll get minutes eventually when Howe and the coaching staff are confident in him. Unless he’s looking like prime Drogba in training, I don’t see the need to whinge.
Young 10 (plus 5 in add ons) million pound striker not looking like a Premier League starter shocker. He’s fine; I’m confident with time, patience and Howe’s coaching he’ll end up proving a very useful squad player (at the very least).
Elanga’s been poor this season but I can see why Eddie likes him; he has a lot of the raw attributes that Gordon has. So lots to work with potentially.
That’s not to say spending 40m plus on him represents good business necessarily but happy to back our manager if he’s the player he really wants.
