Re: Would you swap Elmo for Anelka now?

I didn't knock his record at Anderlecht or pre-Anderlecht. Seemed to go off the boil when he went to Nantes. I was excited when we signed him (and Braaten to be honest) because I agree we needed some pace. Don't think at the time we signed Wilhelmsson he was either at the peak of his ability, nor p...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

Sorry, but I find a lot of your assesment about Mandy & Megson to be way off the mark. Megson was a great party to the ridicule Mandy has suffered on the terraces, pubs and forums mainly because he spent a club record fee on a striker to replace Anelka then told us not to expect a "goal scorer", th...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

He can then join the list of players who have failed after they have left us. And Elmander is likely to do that as his self confidence always seemed low when he first came and that is likely to happen again when /if he joins a new club. Ricketts anybody! I don't think Elmander is gods gift to footb...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

Glad he's proving me wrong this season. Because he was awful the previous two. We have different opinions about that also. I can agree labelling him as a flop those two seasons since a forward costing that much money can't get away scoring so few goals.It isn't acceptable. But in many games he didn...

Stick around.
I'm not sure if you're sincere or if you're pulling my leg. So my response is either thanks or f*** off.

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

an anybody recall a specific time when this happened? I've seen this idea out there that the fans "turned on Elmander" but I just don't think it happened. There was chanting for Klasnic but liking Klasnic better than Elmander is not the same thing as turning on Elmander. Sometimes substitutions wer...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

As much as Coyle has worked wonders turning Elmander around, he's not a miracle worker. Elmander was a good player before he came here and will be a good player when he leaves. I think its dangerous to start thinking that because Coyle is a good motivator and man manager that we can throw any old s...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

:lol: so it's OK for him to score 10 goals in two seasons because he tried hard? That doesn't make a lot of sense does it? I try hard and give my best at 5 a side, doesn't make me worth keeping on. As for the people like me comment, I appreciate that, but those who pay their money week in and week ...

Re: Elmander to be offered new contract?

If he chooses to move on for another pay day rather than stick with the most promising side we've had in years then that says a lot about him, especially after the two years of mediocrity that we've put up with. That doesn't make a lot of sense does it? I would have understood if it was Berbaflop w...
