Elvis wants out!

[Easy 10]

Yeah but we did get their best Marine.

I'll take the duds if we get someone like that every now and then

Not at a million quid a pop I wouldn't.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

In 22 years of playing Sunday League football manu type players would turn up for training and look triffic - only to prove fecking useless in a proper game.

I can understand his frustration. Who knows, if he played 3 or 4 consecutive games at some stage, he may have shown why we paid the money we did for him.

He needs to join a club that will give him a proper run of games. Not all transfers turn out right for player or club unfortunately, but we have done well on the whole since that Burke guy left anyway.

Last night spotted helping out with a video for Albion in the Community.

Perhaps, he can go on the cycling challenge and get left there.

From what I have seen of him he has showed a tiny glimpse of being useful, but I dont think Hughton rates him and giving interviews saying he wants out isnt going to help his cause.

ELVIS MANU is desperate to leave Albion in January – on loan or for good.
The enigmatic Dutch striker would welcome a return to Feyenoord, the home town club Albion bought him from for £1.5 million two summers ago.
Manu has yet to start a Championship game for the Seagulls.
The 23-year-old, quoted on Football Oranje.com from an interview with AD.nl, said: “I honestly cannot wait for the winter, then there might be a chance of a loan move or a sale. I want to go back to the days that I was important.
“Feyenoord is the only club I really have a warm feeling. So if I ever get an offer to come back, then I do not need long to think about it.
“It’s my club, I’ve already lived my moments and built up a good relationship with the fans.”
It is the second time Manu has spoken out to the Dutch media about his frustrations with Albion.
In January he told newspaper Metro he made the wrong choice signing, adding: “I do not have a happy marriage.”
He was then axed and fined by Huddersfield for a breach of discipline during a loan spell with the Yorkshiremen.
Albion manager Chris Hughton said Manu had “improved” as he was linked with MK Dons and moves to Turkey and back to Holland during the summer transfer window.
He scored in League Cup ties against Colchester and Oxford but has made just two sub appearances in the Championship so far this season, the last against Huddersfield last month.
Albion could now seek to cut their losses on Manu halfway through his three-year contract.

If Mr Naylor would be kind enough to drop me a few quid for doing his job for him that would be cool. Alternatively I would accept two tickets to Seven Stars.....

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

He doesn't want to go to Chelsea.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I wonder if Elvis has considered the option of playing better, which might, in the end, get him a run of games?

 

[Bozza]

Pretty sure he'd have been outta here had we managed to bring in another attacking player in the Summer.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Agree with the 'no more Dutch players' sentiment. Aside from Kuipers, the rest have been complete turkeys for one reason or another. Its not just an Albion 'thing' either. Many, including their national squad have had a reputation for sulking and flouncing over different issue's. Forget which W/Cup finals it was? - where Seedorf, Davids and co threatened to walk away from the squad over money and personality issue's.

At least no one will have to drive him there then...

It seems that the Dutch players that come over are generally brilliant (Van Persie, D Bergkamp, Gullet, Van Nistelrooy....etc..), or awful (Elvis, Holla, R Bergkamp, Memphis, De Jong, B Roy....etc), doesn't seem like many are OK/Good.

It's a surprise as the leagues are similar in terms of pace and physicality, and a similar culture, it just doesn't seem to work for a large percentage.

 

[TrickyOne]

Didn't tell us anything we don't already know. I guess its just a case of retrieving as much of this million squid as we can, and writing off the rest as a bad buy. It happens.

No more dutch players though please.

Unless he's a FDM!!

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Give him a good shake.

 

[Superphil]

That interview will do him the world of good with bhafc !!!!

It's got him on the bench today

Player not happy because he's not playing.

Big deal. Who cares?

His body language warming up is of someone clearly not interested.

If he didn't come on today with us 3/4 nil up, he has no hope.
