50m is a lot. Good player on his day, but we are not addressing the lack of technical ability in our team.


If the choice is between a technical player and a physical specimen, Howe is going to opt for the latter. Players that check both boxes are rare and $$$

Hmm quite similar to Murphy is he not? Which is good because it means he’ll fit in to our system, but then won’t offer any thing different. Seems like a cautious transfer move.

 

Think he's got a much higher ceiling than Murphy tbh.

We paid £40 million odd for Gordon who had achieved nowhere near what Elanga has the past two seasons. Elanga has just turned 23 too.

 

No chance he's going for less than £50 million. Be very fortunate if we pull that off.

Guys, it's not we see now, it's what Howe can turn him into, surely we've all learnt that by now.

Don’t think anyone is denying that tbf, rather is he the right type of profile to help push us even further. What’s more, at the likely fee, we are probably going to be left short in other areas.

Yes agree with that. I just think we need something else if we want to grow. He will fit in with Howe no doubt.

Exactly. Good stats for a kid over the past two seasons.

Think this is just the typical cycle we'll go through with some of these signings.

 

Feels like the reaction to the Gordon signing all over again.

 

In the end though, I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

From Forest fans 

 

“Well Newcastle fans don't want him, Saying he is bang average, one dimensional, One fan has gone as far as saying they will jump off a cliff if they sign Elanga. Who do they think they are seriously. Elanga would be a massive improvement on Purple Patch Murphy.”

 

”They obviously haven't seen the impact his set pieces have had this season, anyway his one dimension is better than the 4 dimensions of Anthony Gordon when 3 of them involve him looking to artificially win free kicks or penalties and the other one is looking exactly like my mates mam did in the 1980s.”

“Also Jacob Murphy has had success this season finding the net 8 times in the EPL, but 4 of those were against Leicester, 1 against Ipswich, 1 against Palace before they decided to play football well, 1 against us and 1 in a defeat to Fulham so his purple patch is not even that good really.”

“Hope they start bidding soon as last time we ended up getting £20m for a poor keeper and Anderson off of them, I'd take maybe Livramento or Hall for £30m this time.”

 

“For context they want 80m for 5 goals/6 assists (and older) older Gordon... Bidding starts there.”

Feels like we are seeing an opportunity here with Forest likely being PSR tight, he’s a great player too. Although I might prefer some more technical ability, he’s is absolutely in fitting with the bread and butter of our system and identity which are physical attributes.. and that has to be a must with any winger we sign. 
 

He’ll upset a few of you on here if he’s signed, but if it happens you’ll all come around like you did on Gordon.

Murphy is already at his ceiling.  He's playing out of his skin, but there isn't really any way his game can continue to improve.

Not going to get worked up over Elanga. End of day, him, a starting CB, then say Trafford GK and signing a CM, and we’re way stronger than last season.

 

At an age where resale is there too if he takes the next step.

People were hoping for us to get some namby playmaking little twink from the continent nobody has ever of, no ta says Eddie, I'll have the speed merchant from Forest.

 

I'm here for it. Let's get our trophy winning legend whatever players he wants.
