Elanga is a good player like. Lightning fast. With Edward's coaching he would surely get even better.

From what I've seen of Elanga he's fast but that's about it. This is all so fucked up.

If we don’t sell anyone by Sunday I guess the pressure to sell someone we’d rather keep will have largely gone; damage been done

 

We really could do with avoiding a points deduction as that’ll cause difficulties in reaching Europe next season which in turn makes it harder to keep our better players and attract others.

 

As much as we might not to, we need to have been telling some players they aren’t needed and telling them and their agents earlier. It seems a bit of an avoidable mess.

 

Aye, effectively a new teansfer windows starting on Monday.

His end product was decent for a relegation threatened team mind. 14 goal contributions. 

[Novocastrian]

So next season we are lining up:

 

Barnes     DCL       Elanga

 

So grateful PSR is preventing us from becoming another Portsmouth.

Aye, and would get even better under Howe.

[Kimbo]

I like Elanga but I’m not sure he’s much use against teams that sit back. On the counter he’s dangerous (especially against slow 6’7 left backs) but I was hoping for someone that’s more of a playmaker.

 

Happy to do a PSR scam though.

[Menace]

I'd take it all day. Don't really rate Anderson to be honest.

[SUPERTOON]

From the little I have seen and read, he would be an ideal replacement for Miggy/Murpgy but not the Bruno/Isak level RW most are hoping for ?

[The Butcher]

It's Minteh for Elanga now according to Baldwards.

The fuck is gannin on. Every time I open a thread it’s a different swap deal I see

Because it would help them in PSR terms too? Get the money from a sale, amortise the purchase.

[Away Toon]

Minteh has a much higher ceiling than Elanga, for those who watch lots of football we've all seen enough of Elanga to know this.

Much more dangerous than Miggy and Murphy.

 

Ideally, would come in as a squad player initially, but then I also think his upside is huge.

 

Could just as easily see him come into the team and reach a higher level quickly, similar to what Gordon did last year. He's a similar type of profile to what Gordon was coming out of Everton.

[Theregulars]

Minteh for Elanga i would do quickly if we genuinely have to sell. 

[Ikon]

Personally I feel that we need some players that can allow us to control games better at times too, with great technical ability and IQ to get to the next level. Elanga doesn’t offer much outside of transitions.

so thread title change again, then.

Gordon has always been much better in general play. Even if not a genuinely creative/flair type of player. 

[The College Dropout]

I would be happy with Anderson for Elanga. 
 

 

Do we have a relationship with Forest beyond the bald guy?

 

I don’t believe the Gordon shit for a minute.  I think the Gordon/Isak stuff has been put out there to soften the blow of selling Minteh or Anderson.

This is just PSR crap. If not for PSR we wouldn’t want DCL or Elanga. But we are in a ‘well scratch your back if you scratch mine’ situation with a small group of clubs.  Looking to trade players of similar value and picking the best of a bad bunch.
