Elano would have been the man today

[lythamblue]

Eano was a good crosser of the ball and a good provider but he is not with us anymore so we cant say anything! I want Hughes to go on the lookout in January and look for a good crosser of the ball. A player that can cross past the first man!! Ribery perhaps?

I dont know tbh.

A little bit of trivia for you Lewis.
Did you know that Ribery played for Gala for a short time once.
They get called a shit team and I dont think they are that bad.
Along with Anelka I think they have had some decent players over the years.

Sorry mate but anelka played for Fenerbahce not Galataseray.

About 5 years a go a few Russian money men piled into Turkish football and the top Turkish Clubs signed some biggish names.

However, they never really achieved much on the European front (probably die to inadequate competition in their domestic league) and they all pulled out not long afterwards.

Now they are better known for their mad fans.

Really could have used him.

Probably would have been as anonymous as petrov and ireland were when they game on. We have zero creativity in the middle at the moment. I think it would have been exactly the same with kolo and ade in. We got a clean sheet, and ade has been average since his ban.

Ireland is a poor sub player, START HIM!!!

he wasn't fully fit, allegedly. Why he wasn't starting a bit before that is a question, but he's had a few bouts of some type of mystery thing - dizziness and maybe flu i can't recall. Weird shit tbh. Yesterday however i believe it was that he caught a knock and wasn't ready to start.

There have been a few games this season where I thought we might have missed Elano but yesterday wasn't one of them for me.

Last year we won 2 away matches all season, we weren't a lot better the season before. He's a good player but he wouldn't have been the answer away against a hard working team that disrupted our rhythm.
