I read that he's been absolutely dreadful for Hamburg this summer in the preparations and in the opening rounds. He used to be the same many times in the last seasons and that's why he hit the bench very often.
untrue I saw him play against a couple dutch team and he was raping them

Thats because he is nothing more but a bench Player
His Hamburg spell wasn't so successfull,i will not judge him by his time there because he had many problems there,injuries,hard time with the coach...
i think if he is ready to resolve his mental problems,and put all his Hamburg time behind him,he deserves a chance.

Still i would have prefered Afellay.

Problem is...

Elia - 24y
CR (at the time) - 18y

Do the maths. Not to mention that the EPL suits far faaaaaaar more this type of players (Elia and CR with 18y, because he's not that player anymore).
I dont know about this but I do think that he could become great
As for the others who said I`m not alone, I realise it but it seems like you are alone when you see so many users blast him as being shit, "black Pepe", "Giaccherini would bench him" and etc...
From Vargas,Perroti,Malouda and Elia I`d pick the last one!

Btw He just got subbed in...75th min
Yeah,and from what i read on live.skysports match report,mainly because of the injury to their starting LM...
by the time he was on the pitch he commited 2 fouls and Hamburg conceaded 2 goals to lose the game 4-3.after leading 3-2 after 75 minutes.
:D

I guess it's not his fault,but just funny how everything looks bad for him...

Maybe someone who saw him play can share with us if he did something nice in those 15 minutes he played...

How can he be like Traore, he was a Lb playing as a LW.
Dude I wrote "just in LW".. IMO he does not have the quality to be a starting winger in a team like Juve. Well maybe now thinking he will fight for the spot vs players (Gianchbkabkabka & Estegbagjagha) that are on same level as him. I would have preferred Vargas or Bastos.



EDIT: my bad, I see you wrote a LB playing LW. But Traore did have some games as LB also..

Over Perroti yes,but over Malouda,Vargas??wow...

what about Afellay?is Elia better than him as well?
Malouda- I havent seen him this past year but I saw him play before and I wasnt impressed
Vargas- He is a good player but far away from being great. I think he is very overated in this forum.
Afellay- I dont know never seen him play before

I`m just waiting for him to go to a good team that will guide him like he should be guiden and then you see that I`m right about him.

Malouda - proven(WC level experience) quality player.that will make an immediate impact on our team.
Vargas - experienced Serie-A winger,works hard,good technique,great crosses,keeps performing well every year.
Afellay - quality talented player,skill,pace,technique,if he will get his minutes he can definitely be a WC in the future.

Elia - has potential to be great,maybe,but that maybe is more than just a risk.

so if we can sign other winger of those mentioned,we should do it,IMO.
Elia should be last option.
