I’ll be delighted if he’s great but right now he’s probably a slightly better than average premier league winger. Let’s see, but the price does not respect the uncertainty 

Bearing in mind Bournemouth is wanting something like £60 -70m for a 29 year old with only one year left on his contract, we need to stop thinking like £55m is a lot,,it really isn’t in today’s market.

Lovely to see that “First Day” video. Seems to already have great relationships with 5 or 6 of the lads. Lots of love from Sven 👍🏻

Is the exact type of player Howe likes. You can see why he was the number one target for that position. He probably sees the same traits with Guehi?

[Yorkie]

Off topic but fuck I hope we get a bit more out of Sven this season. Feel like I can barely picture him in a Newcastle shirt now.

He's one of our best players. It'll feel harsh dropping Burn though.

Elanga is basically 90% of the fanbase with the long-sleeve shirt comments

genuinely fucking amazing.

mature for his age.

doesnt seemed fazed at all.

you'd think he'd been a toon fan growing up.

 

Fab giving it "sign all the swedes"

 

seems daft but i'm more excite after watching that than all his highlight reels.

 

reckon he's gonna calm down Osula a bit too.

I was impressed from the get-go, when he took the trouble to shake hands with the stewardess. He seems a well brought-up young man.

[Scoot]

Love that video. Seems a really nice lad and nice to see the rest of the lads giving him a nice welcome.

 

Really excited about this signing. Now for a few more please Newcastle.

 

[Thumbheed]

You often hear players talking about the pride they have playing for the club but you don't often see it in the players - he couldnt be making it more obvious. 

 

I'm genuinely excited to see what he can do. He seems to have exactly the right mentality to succeed and a sky-high ceiling.

I'm in.  This lad is gonna be a star for us.

[Vaj]

Don’t tend to watch new signing interviews and videos much because it just seems to be dull scripted bollocks but this guy is something else. His attitude has got me massively on board with this signing, very excited to see him play!

Just watched it again 😂😂

 

1st time around I wasn't paying attention 🙄 I thought the bloke with the light grey top on was Elanga and the (black) kid who got up was some other random 😂😂😂😂

 

 

Absolutely no peeve yesterday as well 😱 wtf

fucking hell, man

Weird how hes so close to Botman. 

 

Connections between clubs and players etc are always complex.

 

It was clear he knew quite a few of our lads.

 

Feels like this is one of the reasons why Howe and many other managers want to sign players whom they know are good characters.

 

It's like hes been our player for a while.

Lovely introduction,the young fellow looks to have great composure and fitted in effortlessly 😊

[Guest]

Must be hard for Murphy, like having his best season and then we just go out and upgrade (potentially) - didn’t see them meet in the video, but hope they form a close bond too, as he’s also a very good egg.

Love how driven he is, personality wise he's the complete opposite of the likes of Rashford.

Sure Rashford was at that age tbh. 

[midds]

Looks like he's already popular within the squad already which is very encouraging. Seems like a diamond of a bloke, articulate and ambitious. He'll settle in well over the summer and be ready to go next month, no bedding in needed, straight into the XI please Edward

 

Love the fact he'll add a bit of balance to the attack now. Last couple of seasons the main pace threat has come from the left via Gordon and defences knew it and wee waiting for it. Now we can get behind and stretch teams on either wing and they can't shuffle across to double up on Gordon if they know the quick ball to Elanga is also now going to kill them too. Can see Gordon getting a bit more space which he'll enjoy, it's an exciting signing and the RW upgrade we've needed for a few years tbh
