I still don't understand how people believe that coach Conte merely never saw the guy play and thus Elia is this incredible diamond that nobody knows anything about.
Just because he's rarely qualified enough to be called onto the pitch in a regulation match, somehow the entire Juve coaching staff is completely ignorant of his WC abilities and thus he's this unknown enigma that could have otherwise transformed this mediocre club into sudden greatness.
I'm not sure what's a worse measure of quantifying a player's abilities -- a blind judgement like this or basing it off of someone's highlight reel on YouTube or viewing their stats in FM.
