Q&A with Elano
Why do you think your form hasn't been quite so good since November? Anon
I think my season has been quite productive but I suffered a bit after the beginning of the winter. It was cold and rainy and I found it hard to perform the way I had been.
I've also played with some minor injuries. The physical side is much more important in England than other countries and I ended up feeling it.
With Ronaldinho off form do you fancy your chances of becoming a regular for Brazil? James, Birmingham
Ronaldinho will always be Ronaldinho. He is a fantastic player and a big friend of mine, so I am not happy to see what is happening with him.
I will keep working hard and being in the Brazilian national team or not is something that will be up to the coach Dunga.
Elano, what a great season you have had with City. What made you choose to come here and how far do you think we can get next season? Jimmy, Manchester
I was very happy when I was asked to play for City and I didn't think twice.
I don't regret my choice. We haven't achieved some objectives during the season but I think we can improve next year and fight for a Uefa or even Champions League spot.
Which Ronaldo is better, Milan's or Manchester United's? John,Croydon
Milan's. It is clear that Cristiano Ronaldo is performing very well, but I think Milan's Ronaldo was great.
What was your first season like in the English Premier League? Jamie,Blackburn
As I said, I think it's been a productive year for me.
I've scored goals and got to know the Manchester City and English football style.
It was a good first season and I am sure I will improve here.
Which English player do you most admire? Matt, Manchester
Steven Gerrard is the most complete English player at the moment but I like David Beckham as well, for his elegance on the pitch and the way he hits the ball.
I was brought up in the age of wingers, when the game was more open and exciting, do you think that style would suit your game? Don, St Ives
I have played as a winger here and I've played as a right-back too.
I prefer to play in the middle because that's where you have more contact with the ball and you are more involved. Sometimes it's necessary to play with wingers but not all teams need them.
What was it like playing and living in the Ukraine? Anon
The easiest part was playing my football. The problems I had there were more personal.
Living there was too difficult for me and my family as we didn't have many leisure options or friends.
What do the players think about Sven leaving? As a season ticket holder I am not happy. Danny, Manchester
There are lots of rumours and obviously the players are aware of that, so we talk about it.
I have really enjoyed working with Sven-Goran Eriksson and his staff but I don't want to get involved. It is the club's decision.
What player would you most like to see at City? Scott, Coventry
That's a difficult one. There are so many fantastic players around.
Well, I'd like to play alongside more Brazilian players here; maybe Kaka could come and join us? It would be a dream to play with him.
Can you pick out an aspect of your game that makes you special or different to other midfielders? Anon
I don't know if this aspect makes me special, but I like to move a lot and play at a higher speed.
These characteristics have been helping me here in England as the tempo is higher. I like to pass long balls and change the speed and direction of the game quickly.
What adaptations do you think you need to make to your game to do even better in English football next season? Anon
I need to prepare for December and January better than I did. There are more games here than in other leagues and it is when lots of tournaments are decided.
I will try to be ready for the wet season and better physically so I can play a better season.
