Eljero Elia (24 Viewers)

I hate fake badge kissers, really annoys me (assuming he is doing that). Seeing as he is kissing the Juve badge I'll be biased and let him off, he's tried hard to stay cool with the fans which is fair enough, but that sort of thing should be reserved for players who have played more than 3 games for the club.

Oh how about..

It shows dedication to continue fighting for a sport. He knows what Juventus means, and recognizes it. So instead of labeling people (fake badge kissers) lets give them a chance.

Ni99a please! I hope he somehow stays and surprises us all by doing well. But I really dont think that's gonna happen.

Ajax want him according to Dutch sources.

I'll put it simple - there are only a couple of players at Juve who should be kissing the badge, and Elia is not one of them.

And you decide that? Elia is actually at Juve while you are on a Juventuz forum, so i guess he has more right to choose if he wants to kiss the badge or not.

Easy now dude... It's not a rule that you must be first team player or at the club for some years to be allowed to kiss the badge....

Yes, because it is my opinion.

 

[Trezegol17]

And it was his choice to kiss the badge, so luckily your opinion won't leave this forum and him showing love for Juve and the badge will go worldwide

 

[Bianconero81]

In a petty mood, are we today boys?

Elia is as good as gone; it's a shame he never really had a chance to prove himself, but good luck to him elsewhere. I never felt he had the heart/desire/fighting spirit to be a fundamental player for us.

 

[JuveJay]

I can see you taking this to heart, but your compatriot doesn't need your protection. For him it's a gesture to gain appreciation from fans. As a fan, I find it false. Footballers these days are here one minute and gone the next, and that'll probably be the case with Elia. So when he kisses the next badge maybe you'll understand.

I saw Rooney do it for Man Utd a few months after he had joined them from boyhood club Everton, that was probably the most sickening.

@JuveJay What is the secret of your fascination with Japanese players?

 

[JuveJay]

The secret? Nothing, I just appreciate the way they play football and conduct themselves.

Avatar matrial, Aush download the match I guess

thanks

 

[Bianconero81]

I like the Japanese as well; they are possibly my favorite Asian team, simply because Thailand never qualify for any meaningful tournaments

I read recently about an association in Japan that is trying to put Thai players through the same university level training as Japanese so they can play in the J-League. Could be a useful stepping stone for them.

 

[Bianconero81]

The Thai Premier League has improved lately. I'd give the Thais a good 3-5 years before they can make progress on the International stage though.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

The runs he makes and positions he takes are really odd, like he doesn't understand the shape of the team or attacking phases. You can put that down to him coming on with many subs, or perhaps because he has played few games, but you'd expect this to be basic stuff learnt in training.

When he was playing off the shoulder that was fair enough, it's a generic position and the game was over. Shame for him he couldn't quite score.

"Really odd" is even an understatement. It just doesn't make any sense at all. I don't think I have ever seen such a clueless player on our team. Clueless meaning completely out of sync with the (rest of the) team, not knowing what to do, where to run, etc.

I do believe we might be able to use a player with his characteristics, but at the same time it takes me less than 5 minutes to realise why he isn't getting consistent playing time. Quite frankly, all other options we have are far less risky.

 

[Trezegol17]

So what do these prove? Barca was Zlatan dream club from the beginning. Boji got another chance at Parma when nobody wanted him, Fuck Robinho and the others. Trez kissed the Badge aswell during his presentation at Hercules. Is he false aswell or just happy that he joined them? Who are you to judge of those players are false? Just because it is your opinion?

So if Borriello kissed the badge after he scored it would be false aswell, since we gave him another chance too?

@ Ur Tar

elia is a real juve fan I really think he likes juve a lot. Remember he never moaned, cried and so on that he never got a change and still people hate him and calling him faux.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

False or not, it's incredibly lame when the majority of players do it.

Edit: talking about the badge kissing obviously.
