Now, watch Pasquato go to Serie B in a loan deal and get sold for a dime next summer.

I don't like this Elia guy, I even believe butt-head will be better for LW.

I think that Elia would be an awesome addition to the squad. He would complement Krasic well - and would add another element to our attack. He is fast and a really good dribbler - something that we miss a lot in out attacking play. He is also relatively young - and with the right guidance and development, he could turn into a world class player.
yeah that speed and dribbling served us well with krasic, right ? speed and dribbling are of no use if you have terrible decision making...

i could understand if we were talking about the balotelli here, but elia is a mentally ill lazy street kid with not even half the quality/talent balotelli offers. totally not worth the gamble for us right now

Ok I'll take this one guys :

+ Very VERY fast
+ Fancy dribbler
+..uhh..cuts inside..happy conte?
+ Young with potential..whatever that means
+ He's actually a very good passer. Sprints then "passes" the ball into the box really well.
+ played lots of international games...

-...most of them coming as a sub
- Average crosser
- Can be bullied
- If he's coming for 10m, then logically we should go for Vargas or Bastos.
- Thinks he's a rapper. Pretty much translates into bad attitude these days unfortunately, now he's intentionally playing badly for Hamburg.

problem is that after he goes past his man, or cuts inside, thats where it ends

bad float and drill cross
bad cutback cross
nonexistant trough balls after cutting in
bad shot at goal after cutting in
and offcourse, playing to selfish


doesnt matter if he has the big dribbeling talent, at his age, he's a lost cause

also, he's an idiot, like balotelli
with the diffrence that balotelli has 10 times his skill so he can actually cope with it

No I've actually seen him deliver many through balls inside the box, but not crosses though. Elia, Pasquato and two other wingers. Let's hope for the best.

I'm by no means defending him btw. I'd really like us to buy someone else but what can you do with Marotta really.

I get Barcelona not wanting to let go of players that suit their style of play and since its a long season and they are pretty much shoe ins to go deep into every one of there cups this season they need back ups but Barca went into every single final last season and pretty much rarely used Afellay now that they purchased Sanchez who plays out on the wing and Cesc who plays in the middle but has iniesta to push out on the wing when needed so all in all I dont see Afellay getting more then 5-10min every other game or so maybe more if Barca rack up the scoring on most of their games. Logical sense Afellay should come to us on loan. He is pretty much going to play 90minutes all season and who knows if we make champions league he might decide to stay he fits in Contes plans and Juve cant go anywhere but up so whether its actually Barca playing hard ball or Afellay not wanting to leave its a waste of a 25 year old who should be playing 90minutes a game since hes actually quite a good player. It just makes total sense for this move to happen it just depends if Afellay enjoys sitting on the bench and collecting metals and/or if Barca pull a Real Madrid and let talent waist on the bench for their own personal gain.
