‘hold talks directly with Manchester’ ‘new round of negotiations’

Who were the previous rounds with?
These guys just love to spin their own little yarns don't they. Sound like they know every detail, and no one's ever going to prove otherwise. No one has texted Fab to say "new round of negotiations soon". He's heard Everton are close to signing Elanga and he's trying to turn it into Pride and Prejudice to churn out the tweets.
 
A loan deal for him isn’t bad and I’d like to see option to buy in that deal if we sell Gray think Elanga offers as much as him if not more. So hopefully move one on and get a younger version who’s likely to improve with games.
 
We need to be efficient with negotiations. Utd are a difficult club to deal with. Have to keep many irons in the fire if they string us along ending in no deal. I don't have a strong opinion on Elanga either way, just have to go him a chance if he signs.
 

He doesn't look any better than Gray from what i have seen and he was 4 goals behind Grays 4 goals last season. Definitely doesn't do anything to solve our most important issue of being the lowest goal scorers in about 3 divisions. These sorts of players should be brought in after the number 1 priorities are sorted and then they may strengthen things. At the moment it strengthens nothing and is pointless.

Gray scored 2 open play goals. Pens are irrelevant when discussing a player’s actual goal threat. I think he will develop into a better player than Demarai Gray.

Elanga much like James Garner has a high ceiling and low risk. Even if he doesn’t perform to the levels we expect, we should be able to at least make back the 8-10 million fee that’s being discussed. We just signed McNeil who got 1 assist and 0 goals the season prior and he ended up being our top scorer for the season (it’s not hard like)

Give Elanga a chance, he’s fast and direct

I think he will, unlike Gray he has the work rate and does the defensive side too which will fit into Dyche's team.

As others have said he can play both sides and forward if needed, would also fit into the counter attacking team we're apparently trying to build.

Hope so mate. Need some strikers for him to be able to cross to because he wont register many assists with Maupay and god knows how many games Dom will be fit for. Strikers have to be top priority.
 
He’s new ,he’s young ,he looks to have tonnes of pace and a point to prove ,after watching these snails for years, I welcome anyone who brings fresh hope into this club
