Aye, it was always odd how some moaned about selling Elanga and wanting him back. He was never good enough (long term anyway). I guess the crux of it was that we just ended up spending massive amounts of money on even worse players (Antony, Sancho) - attitude wise and physical traits wise, I’d have rather we kept Elanga over those two in fairness. But that says more about them than it does Elanga.
It was clear that he had the perfect conditions at Forest last season. A fast, physical, direct side who thrived on the counter when he had ample space to run into. Once the space is mitigated, he becomes a fairly average footballer. All that being said, he’d have made a decent wing back for Amorim, wouldn’t he?
