That is an opinion I just cant understand if you watched him play for City. He did a few good things early on, but couldn't:
Tackle
Run any faster than my old mum
Shoot very well
Pass short - had to be 70 yards and given away
Get on with any manager
Hold the ball with any strength
Watch a re-run of the game at Old Trafford toward the end of his time. That was the worst ever performance by a City player - and there is some serious competition!
Which top European club did we get him from? And who snapped him up?
EDIT - could take penalties, well done fella
I share your opinion on Elano, I was merely pointing out, that he looks a great player when playing for Brazil, but couldn't hack it at City. In fact every Brazillian we have had has been good for the first ten matches then turned to shit. Just saying, NO more Brazillians at our club please.
While I am at it, Italians don't seem to do a lot for us either. Though, I do hope Balotelli will be an exception to the rule
