Ikon Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Might be on the wind up, but Elanga isn’t very good tbh….Average player at best. Edited June 29 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for starters, he didn't score and assist more than any other Man United player. And the point is that he's using goals and assists as the basis for how good Elanga is. Chris Wood has more goals and assists. Newcastle in the market for a striker soon you'd think. What about Chris Wood? Elanga is not very good at all.

Ikon Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) @froggy you disgusting red. Don’t worry mate, many on here see and read what they want to see when we get linked with players. The bad things about players linked somehow manage to disappear sometimes. If he was dirt dirt cheap I wouldn’t mind him too much as a 3rd backup for a flank or similar. To throw in when we are defending a lead and look for transitions alone more or less. Preferably I don’t want him at all.

Preferably I don’t want him at all. 3rd choice winger is probably about right for him, though he's a positional mess and would be all over the place in a Howe team. But I'm sure people will think Howe can fix him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say everyone, but it wasn't everyone. A few people lost their minds over Sancho having one good game in the Champions League because it's fun to laugh at Man United whenever the opportunity arises. The reality is that he's been distinctly average for Dortmund and we were hoping he'd be a lot better than he was so the fee would be higher this summer. Hopefully the media has done a good job in overhyping him against PSG so we can get £35-40m still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Assume this deal is off now or was perhaps never on. But I agree I think Elanga looks a limited player. Pace and not much else. His finishing looked very erratic and should have had more goals for the opportunities his pace enabled him. If we are just signing people because they had a good game against us and Dan Burn then Luton's Ogbene is probably another that looked like a world beater. Would be fine as a cheap squad player but not a game changer to take us forward. We need to be going all out for a top quality RW if finance permits moving forward.

toontownman Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This season: Games Goals Assists Minutes Anthony 38 3 2 1910 Elanga 39 5 9 2678 Sancho 24 3 3 1593 Not sure what the XG for each of the teams were. Sizeable difference in total minutes with Elanga but he was easily in the weakest team. More on topic, I didn't watch much of Elanga other than him tearing us apart. Who knows what Howe could do with him. He seemingly can cover up top though which is an asset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 If we sell Wilson to Saudi then I believe we're level on psr terms. I'd stay away from deals like Elanga and DCL and be targeting a Neto/Bowen/Chiesa level signing for our RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Froggy has hated Elanga way before this thread tbf. I don’t think he’s good enough to start for us and I don’t really see the point in wasting money on him as a squad player so happy this appears to be off.

simonsays Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The argument for getting Elanga was that we would lose Anderson and keep hold of Minteh though, right? Elanga would easily be as good a squad option as Anderson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would genuinely feel like you're taking a step backwards going for players like him. I'd be happy about it. Unfortunately it looks to be off and you'll likely invest more wisely.
