Absolutely no chance any of our fans would think Elanga us remotely good enough if he were still at the club.

Under OGS and ETH the football was often counter attacking (and particularly effective under OGS), and the media narrative was that United could never fight for the title doing that. Yet the media seem convinced that Forest can do so, and by being far more defensive than United ever were.

Everything is easier in hindsight of course, but I do have to query why he wasn’t send out on loan*.

*I suppose the answer is that as a youth player, his sale represented pure profit on the books. If that’s the case, it sort of makes a mockery of the system (or rather, our processes).

Lucky mousers.

Anyway, do we have a buy back clause on Elanga?

Elanga is benefitting from playing every week, in the right system for his game, around the right players, in a side which is playing with incredible confidence and discipline.

None of which he’d have had if he’d stayed at United.

Elanga is doing well, but I think he would need to show another level before I would have him back.

But many players will leave Utd and find their comfort zone at other clubs.

Transfers were the undoing of ETH.

Selling Elanga and Alvaro look like big mistakes and we didn't exactly get big money for them either to soften the blow.

Antony, Mount, Hojlund, Casemiro, Onana and Malacia coming in the other way and none of them have lived up to the billing / price tag.

I still don't think he's a terrible coach. However it's clear he's not a very good judge of talent.

How many months into Amorim's era, and SE85's primary topic is still ETH out.

If the bald fraud stayed, I am confident we would’ve also lost Amad. He would go to another side and probably do same as elanga is doing and our fans would be saying same thing about not being good enough. You don’t give players a run of games how are we to know.
