If we’re on the Elanga vs Cunha comparisons, Elanga notched 17 G+A in 38 PL appearances last season (0.45 per game) in what was a breakout season for him.

Cunha racked up 21 G+A in 33 appearances (0.64 per game) having contributed almost exactly the same figures the previous season. In a worse side. And in a role which actually suits our setup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for confirming similar numbers.

Elanga is 23. Heading to a better team. Playing under a manager who has shown he can get the best out of his players.

Bearing in mind how poor we were, I find it bizarre the arrogance our fan base still have bearing in mind he is heading to a club playing their trade in the champions league.

Yeah right he won’t cut it at 15th place Manchester United. He went on to bigger things!

Wake up


----------------------------------------------------------------------
CL or no CL. Playing for Manchester United invites more pressure than any other club in the league. That is a fact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He never got given a fair chance to perform. Whilst Antony given ample chance to stink the joint.

I am not sure the relevance of this point. Elanga never struggled because of expectations. He never got going in the first place due to limited chances.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're saying "went on to bigger things". Yes, he's playing in the CL, but playing for forest or Newcastle is not the same as playing for United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Delusions of grandeur.

Here and now if he ends up Newcastle playing in champions league he has moved on to bigger things. This ain’t rocket science.

Lindelof has got united on his resume and what??? A resume of failure .

You honestly believe playing for Newcastle is the same level of pressure and expectation as United?

What is the relevance of this question? Why is this hard for you to compute.

It is a fact the pressure and expectation at united is higher. This was not the issue for Elanga however.

The above can be true and me saying going to play for Newcastle who are in the champions league is moving on to bigger things, especially in the short term. We could not string together two consecutive wins last year, wake up.

This ain’t Ferguson united.

OP your boys took one hell of a beating

And before anyone wets their silkys I’m not talking about United
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn’t believe it but well done to the Dubs. Thoroughly deserved. Hope ye can show up again next weekend.

Same here mate but not confident, think cork will win the whole thing

Bloody hope not. I live there now.

BTW the point I was making was not that we should have kept Elanga.

It’s more that 3 players that we kept instead of him now can’t be sold for a fee that Elanga would get.

Elanga was given quite a few opportunities, especially under Ralf from what I can remember and wasn’t anything special. Sometimes you just have to accept that a player needs a move to help their development, ideally at a smaller club with far less pressure. He’s done well at Forest but I still do t think he’s good enough for what we want and we would have never been able to give him the game time to see if he could improve.

We did ok selling him for £15m at the time.

Process

I’m sure if their wages were close to Elanga’s we’d have far better chance of selling them all. The stupid wages we’ve given players have hindered our ability to move on far too many players.

Well that is true. Baffling there’s some on here who argue that point.

Newcastle want somebody to compete with Jacob Murphy on the right who had a very good season for them.

I do think Elanga is a good fit for Newcastle but I think the money it's going to take to get him is probably too much for a RW rotation option.

Be very harsh to drop Murphy too. He's a terrific player.

Difference between good or average and great. You get a back up for a position.
