I've been looking at Elia a lot more lately, past games, NT games, etc.
To me, from what I hear and see, he seems a bit like Balotelli. He has raw talent, pace, and speed. But his attitude and immaturity can really outshine his good qualities.
Hopefully he can act professional here, and give everything for the jersey.
A lot of people here in Holland think Kuyt lacks the technique and is too nice. Comments like "Kuyt is a nice guy, but all he does is work hard" & "I work hard too, but you don't see me in Oranje" are pretty common.
I'm not real confident in this signing. I think he'll hit impressive form when the team is doing well but if we have another half season slump he's going to be a problem.
