Elmander and the contract shiz

[TANGODANCER]

Sorry

Wasn't meant to be a Vicar of Dibley bullying exercise

It's just inaccurate to say we were loyal

I'm pretty sure the previous manager would have dumped him at the end of his first season if it had been possible

No sweat, wasn't taken as one. On the last bit I totally agree.

[Choppers]

I'd still just about like him to stay, but sadly I think he'll go.

[Bruce Rioja]

I see that he had the touch of a rapist once again today!

Bollocks, Elmo played well today, one of our better players.

Gave Enrique a tough time and provided the assist for the goal.

Detail, mere detail

The assist making it 10 goals, 5 assists for the season.

fecking dogshit that lad.

You must be his agent. The very fact that wiser observers look at his contribution over his entire time at this level lead you to why not one single club showed interest in him during the January window. Liverpool, my arse .

And some people are blinded by the admittedly poor level of his performance over the past two years; so much so that they are now prejudiced against him, regardless of how well or otherwise he plays right here, right now.

Elmander played well today, in a role that is, still, relatively unfamiliar to him. He and Sturridge stood out in a team that was, when all's said and done, below par.

Oh my giddy aunt. Were you away for the Everton game? Today we played like Brazil in comparison!

[Armchair Wanderer]

Realistically you have to assume that we won't be able to afford his wage demands. At his age now he's probably looking for at least 4 years on as much money as he can get, and that would be his last big contract.

More importantly for us, where does that leave us next year?

SKD - getting on a bit.
Blake - out of contract/getting on a bit.
Klasnic - one year left/can't last 90 mins/getting on a bit.
Younger strikers - can't even get on the bench in the PL at the moment.

[Hoboh]

They've paid him top wages throughout when he's done less than shone

You actually believe this demonstrates loyalty?

It's meeting your side of a contract, y'know, a legal requirement
Toss all to do with loyalty

Then we should sue him for not fulfilling his with his poxy return over the three years of his contract unless he kocks another 20 in by the season end!

[Lord Kangana]

Megson probably would have been able to sell Elmander at the end of his first full season if it hadn't meant his job.

You don't shell out record fees at clubs the size of ours and get away with "oops, sorry, he's probably worth a tenth of that, on refelction".

sounds dean holdsworth-esque.

And Len Cantello

Maybe we all get a bit giddy when we pay big money (for us)

[BWFC_Wyles]

Personally, I think we have to make sure he stays. He works bloody hard for the team and apart from a bad run of form in the last two months, he was a fans' favourite.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Fans favourite....who....Mandy? Unless you meant "fan's" favourite - and that fan was Elmander

Sorry mate, but when he was scoring goals for fun in October / November, everyone thought fondly of him! It's ok, you don't have to remove your negative mask, I know you felt it too

[Lofthouse Lower]

Everyone enjoyed his good six weeks, but I doubt many ever forgot his piss-poor 20 months before that

[officer_dibble]

On a serious note whats he done to upset Newcastle? Slated in their local rag as a diver today! He's had 3 red card challenges against them in 2 matches.....!
