Eljero Elia (9 Viewers)

[JuveJay]

A loan doesn't surprise me. I can see the club being loath to sell a player they paid €9m for after one season.

It's a risk. Sell now for a knock down price, maybe we've been offered €6m or along those lines. Or send him on loan and hope he tears it up somewhere, a team suited to him, so we can get our money back plus potentially more.

Traore, Martinez, Elia, Padoin, Borriello, Motta Whose transfer will be next mistake by Marotta

 

[Albo]

Marrotta said we are looking at the possibility of loaning him

Hell NO,sell him please ffs.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

The whole season they were sayin' that Elia need time to adapt and his first season will be tough blablabla and he is on 5 year contract we are count on him blablala and now we are going to offload him

 

[Bezzy]

Bye Elia, you had the change of your life but ruining it :facepalm:

 

[X Æ A-12]

A loan move is actually not that bad in this case. Elia is still fairly young and has talent, there is every chance that his value will increase after a season on loan.

 

[gray]

Agreed. I think loaning him is actually a decent idea in this case. If he gets regular starts, he'll at least boost his sale value back to what we paid for him at least.

If we were to sell him straight away it would definitely lead to financial loss.

Yeah i don't understand why most people are so eager to sell him right now. He won't be worth half of what we paid for him, loaning him to Benfica for example, if he gets his playing time will at least promise us 7-8m .

 

[Ironz]

Why don't we close this thread til he actually does something

 

[dodo]

According to BILD, Schalke are interested in Elia and also van der Vaart to keep Huntelaar company in Gelsenkirchen.

 

[Kasaki]

I still feel like we'll end up keeping him. May be ue to lack of suitors or giving him a second chance.

 

[Nicholas]

I think that'll depend on him, I wouldn't mind him here as Pepe's substitute. However he doesn't want that it seems.

cos he is no right winger and pepe is a back up also

 

[Nicholas]

Pepe is certainly not a back up.

 

[ZoSo]

Pepe is a protagonista.

 

[Bezzy]

Pepe is certainly not a back up.

you see him being a starter next year?
I think pepe will be on the bench but will be part of the 18 selection every week (if he is fit ofcourse)

 

[Nicholas]

If we play 4-3-3 I expect him to be the starter, yes.

 

[Bezzy]

If we play 4-3-3 I expect him to be the starter, yes.

but does it look like we will play the 4-3-3 as main formation?

 

[Kasaki]

Yeah, I expect to see Pepe as a starter and rightfully so. The Battle will be in the LW position and the striker role. With heavy rotataion in the Midfield Pepe, Pirlo, & Barzagli will get the most minutes.

 

[kronos]

Stop calling him Pepe
Pepsi is an epic nickname
