Nick, that's a cop-out. You wouldn't say "let's see how he performs" to Titus Bramble because you know he sucks. I just hate this move. I can't go to a new paragraph. We're gonna suck this season. Conte's gonna get sacked, etc., etc.

elia has traore written all over him...

just another speedy guy with no clue of the game at all... and for people comparing him with pepe you should do your homework, because pepes and elias stats are very similar, but you can bet your ass off, that elia does not do half the defensive work of pepe.

elia would be good in the street where no one actually uses force to stop you, but on a real soccerpitch ? pleeeaaase !

OF course he can come and do better, but that's just hope. It doesn't just happen like that. If we have to hope he gets better instead of him actually being able to come and play they way he does now, then it's not a good signing.

It's just like if we signed Djalo. Nobody know him, but let's see how he does when he arrives.

Pathetic and we're going to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Here's our new Motta and we'll start the season with one, if not two positions yet to cover. Vargas is safer by a country mille and I thought that was what this mercato was all about. Buying safely and estabilished quality. Well, it seems I was wrong, if we really sign this dude...

You have those stats off-hand, IZ?
I posted some of Elias a page or so ago.

IIRC

Elia since 2008 (when vargas joined forentina),


Nevermind, here's an overall career stats

Vargas: 204 games 24 goals 29 assists
Elia :230games 35 goals 32 assists (discounting friendlies, 215 games, 31 goals, 29 assists)


Of course these stats are only a rough guide, social science is a lie.

of course it's saver to buy vargas, but it could all be a tactic by conte... he lets marotta buy elia to have a justification to play marchisio on the left wing, after we saw what a traore-like clown elia is

I talked about Shaqiri before the U21 tournment. Now he's too hyped for us, and I always saw him on the right flank anyway. He should be here instead of Pepe. There was a time, he was even a cheaper option...

you have to take into account that apart from the last 2 years elia played in the dutch league which surely makes his stats from that time less impressive

i'll just show you a stats-table for the leage games, because you can not really rate international games for the country, where clowns like podolski score 20 goals, just because germany plays against lichtenstein or andorra twice a year

the white balls are goals, red balls are own goals, and the green ones are assists:
