Who is Johan Elmander
By: Mark Yesilevskiy | July 18th, 2008There has been almost no news in the past few days. The team have slapped a 3 million pound price tag on Abdoulaye Méïté. No big deal. He’s obviously unfit to carry on as a Trotter if he can claim that he was injured enough to let 2 Man U goals go by. Other than the expected price tag, there has literally been zero information coming through the news wire.
Now, who is Johan Elmander?
£11 million is a club record for the Wanderers. Is this guy worth it? I sure hope so, £11 million is a lot of money for a club our size. At least this guy looks to be a much better player than Anelka. Looking at his stats, he produces a goal in 1/3 of his games. Nicolas Anelka has scored less goals in more games in the same amount of time at Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea. The thing that impresses me most about this guy is the heart that he has. He’s strong, he’ll run through players but he doesn’t give up. I can’t wait to see him play for us!

You’ll enjoy watching him play and he’ll do well with a solid cast around him. It be interesting to see him pair up with Kevin Davies

If I may add, Johan was the one who almost single-handedly kept Toulouse out of relegation last season (actually, I’m convinced that without Elmander, Toulouse would have been relegated 2 seasons ago). When Elmander was injured, Toulouse could not score. (He does need good support though, his style of play.) I also think he’s quite versatile — Lagerback used him as an attacking midfielder during the Euros, and he was actually better than some of the other midfielders playing (namely Svensson.)

he could be great, but his weight bothered me at the Euros. i hope you haven’t bought another Tomas Brolin.
