Who's going to be the first journalist to say "agreement not close according to those close to the deal"

 

Puke? Downie? Douglas?

Puke absolutely. He’ll be hugely salty he’s at the back of the queue for this one.

While i understand and accept the point that signing Elanga doesn't exactly provide us with a different dimension, what he does provide us is a younger, better and more polished version of Murphy (without actually losing Murphy).

 

It's also worth noting that we are better footballing side than Forest, with better players around Elanga. I expect he will more than smash any expectations of him next season.

Looking on their forum they're still really not happy about this at that price, which along with everything else is a good sign.

Absolutely. It's not an exact science (see Gordon) but when another club loves a player, its a very good sign.

He's fast as fuck

Two footed

Good output

Takes set pieces

Played 38 games last season

Never been injured yet in his pro career

Seems to have an excellent attitude 

Mates with Isak

 

The market for right sided players stinks a bit IMO. I have yet to see a single player suggested who makes more sense for us who would be genuinely obtainable.

 

Gamble at other positions with cheaper European options maybe but I think it makes perfect sense to go big for him as a PL option.

Don't know if I prefer him but I do like Kudus, wish we'd gone for him while he was at Ajax, his value has doubled since.

It's a great point about his fitness record. We are quickly to use it as a stick to beat potential signings with but when a player has a good one, we rarely factor that in.

 

With a big schedule next year, it will be nice to have two players in Murphy and Elanga who generally (touch wood), dont get many injuries.

 

Murphy and Barnes won us a cup final and its more than possible that they won't be first choice next season.

He’s rapid, two footed, young, has played in the prem, been successful in the prem, had a great last season in a team that massively overachieved, he‘s successfully moved clubs before so is more likely to adapt to a new environment, he has friends in our squad, he seems like a canny character and plays in a position that we’ve needed to strengthen since 2021

 

 

 

Appreciate that. Thanks

Probably mainly just that we missed out on Pedro 

 

Maybe. 

 

I think we're willing to pay money if we're convinced theyre worth it, like Isak so I still think there's a massive budget there is theyre willing to up it 10m.
