Eljero "I never said those things" Elia - Hamburg - Winger (9 Viewers)

[Linebreak]

He coupled those words with names like Aguero at the time. Vucinic is not at the level of Aguero. So please, wake up.

look marotta has added quality to the side, you cannot deny that fact, and thats the bottom line. The fact you truely believed we can financially compete with city showed how much you underestimate the current market. However you look at it, vucinic along with the other signed so far will improve our chances of getting a CL spot more so than if we were to use most of our tight budget on aguero.

 

[Linebreak]

Then Marotta should have never mislead everyone by mentioning the likes of Aguero.

Yes Vucinic does improve our team.

We've improved noticeably our squad and this is why I am quite satisfied with our mercato so far.

A quality LW and a CB and we're good enough for 3rd place, if Conte doesn't flop.

 

[Linebreak]

Interesting to note Marchisio doesn't feature in your new line-up even as a replacement

 

[Trequartista]

Well, he would replace either Vidal or Pirlo. If are going to switch to a 4-3-3, he would fill in the LCM position.

 

[Nenz]

I don't think Krasic will perform in a 4-3-3. Marchisio, Vidal and Pirlo would definitely work well together though.

 

[Cirillo]

Maybe not for a whole season but I think that Krasic has enough quality and crossing skills to do a job on the right in a 4-3-3

 

[Catenaccio]

Pepe is no world beater but he is a solid player who works his a*s off. He is a great sub to have (notwithstanding that we may have overpaid for him). Of course, we need someone better than Pepe to be our LW. We should shoot for Bale and Nani as 1st choices (would cost around EU30m and in the budget) - but should we fail....I would take Vargas or Bastos over Elia.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Why wouldnt Krasic suit a 4-3-3? I thought he was more of a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 winger anyway?

 

[Cirillo]

I think Krasic would suit those formations it's just his finishing abilities that can be questionable at times when he's required to support the Prima Punta

 

[Nenz]

I think Krasic works better when he plays deeper with a bit more space around him despite being highly attacking. If he plays so high up the pitch its easier for defenders to mark him without going out of position. That's pretty much what I've seen from him even last season. He played best when he positioned deeper and roamed to the middle of the pitch occasionally which gave him way more space and more options to change direction. Now he plays high along the byline and its resulted in one dimensional play where he runs down the line and tries to beat his marker for pace but the problem is that along the byline you're ten times more predictable and playing so high up makes it hard to find space.

You guys know this is the Elia thread right?

 

[francesco]

according to Sky Sport, Hamburg want 15 million for Elia which makes it a very difficult transfer to conclude because we aren't prepared to pay that much..

Elia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What will the Marotta haters/Elia haters do if we miss out on him because of Marotta's penny pinching!?

 

[acmilan]
