Elvis Manu's miserable time at Albion is over.

The errant Dutch striker has joined Turkish Super League club Genclerbirligi SK on a free transfer.

Manu stayed behind in Holland while Albion are in Austria on a training camp for details of the deal to be concluded.

He had a year left on his contract with the Seagulls and has joined his new employers on a two-year deal.

Manu, 23, never started a league game after arriving from Feyenoord for £1.5 million two summers ago.

He made 17 appearances in total for Albion, scoring three goals.

Boss Chris Hughton said: "The competition for places in our forward areas means that it has been very difficult for Elvis to play the number of matches he would have liked.

"He has worked hard during his time here, but with his game time likely to be limited again, this is the best move for him.

"It gives him the chance to play regular football in a competitive Turkish Super League, and I would like to wish him all the best for the future on behalf of everyone at the club."

Manu also had loan spells at Huddersfield and Dutch outfit Go Ahead Eagles during his troubled two years with Albion.

Both were cut short for breaches of discipline.

As predicted we paid him off, thank **** that chapter is over.

To think, we didn't pay much more for Knockaert than we did for him!
Some you win, some you lose.

Makes room for Anthony Koura (Elvis Manu mk2)

A rare blip in our current recruitment set up.

And he'll have time on the plane to brush up on the off-side rules.

 

[Blackadder]

Good. So we can finally say that Elvis has left the building.

The last line in that article was unnecessary, but nicely done by the argus.

This bit made me chuckle.

We only had three strikers, not the four normally considered desirable - and Elvis still couldn't get anywhere near the team!

He was absolute garbage when he played in our blue and white.

And we all really excited about the news songs that we could use when he came to us on loan

Anyone interested in a quality Aussie left back we're trying get shut of?

 

[daveinprague]

Can we change the thread title... still freaks me out, despite knowing he has gone to Turkey

Blasphemy!

Its common practise for a loan player not to be permitted to play against his parent club. I suspect BHAFC and the fans would have been quite okay, had that not been enforced when he was on loan at H.T.

Elvis Manu scores the first goal for Akhisor in the Turkish Cup final against Galatasaray! Bottom against top!

Elvis finished on the losing side.
Galatasaray won 3-1.

And when we last checked, yes he has.

Just been looking at foreign players, playing in China, when I bumped into our old sulky Dutchman, Elvis Manu.
Now playing for Beijing Renhe FC

Just reminded me, watching the game at Oxford. I saw Elvis score one of his two Albion goals there four years' ago.
