QPR in shock loan move for Manchester City’s Elano
Elano - set for QPR move?
According to a reportreport by the Daily Mirror (and several others), Queens Park Rangers are making a surprise loan move for Manchester City’s Elano. After being a star for City last season and starting this season with three goals in his first two Premier League matches, Elano has featured very little for Mark Hughes recently. The Brazilian international spoke out about his frustrations last week, which, judging by his absence from Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Hull, has fallen on deaf ears.
Is he now set to take a step down to the Championship?
It’s an audacious move for a Championship side to make, but QPR aren’t your average Championship side. When it comes to finances, deep-pocketed QPR can easily afford Elano’s wages. Getting the services of a playmaker of his caliber would improve their odds of making a serious run at Premier League promotion and having the success to match their ambition and money. QPR have scored only 16 goals in 17 league matches, and if Elano shows his 2007/08 form, he’d be an upgrade and a half on the attacking front.
However, would Elano rather rot on the bench at City than move to the Championship? More importantly, is Mark Hughes ready to leave him leave, or does he think he still has a place in the team?
I think if elano would come to QPR it would be an extrodonairy signing because he is a player with TOP quality and i think he would do well at Loftu’s Road !
COME ON YOU HOOPS
Not sure he’ll want to drop a division, but the glamour of Flavio et al may swing it. Come on down big fella!
i am very hopeful that qpr could pull it gff as it would be a great catch andwould be a great asset for gareth to have a man of his abilty in the team he is a man of too quality to cover for akos injury and i have faith in QPR will acheive their capture rangers forever the prem is the `good luckat the end of the tunnel we have been searching for
