No one is entitled to start. But it's not the appropriate way to handle the situation. Especially if you consider the fact that the reports out of the training camp all agree on him working his ass off in the training sessions. If you [Conte] picked the player, if he is working hard to even make the bench and you chose to give him 0 attention - then you are doing it wrong. He had plenty of opportunities in the past three games to give him 10-20min at the end, but no a player of no offensive nor defensive quality ( Giaccherini ) makes the bench over Elia. He shouldn't have greenlighted the move if he is going to be a douchebag.
There are a lot of players who can't make the bench. Sometimes it's Quag, sometimes Krasic, Esti, Giacch, whoever. What makes you think these other guys don't deserve it more than Elia?

The thing is, it's not just about Elia, if somebody else is working harder than elia you'd be doing them a disservice by picking Elia over them. So "training hard" means nothing, if everybody else is training harder.

I think Elia has been good sport so far but at some point sitting on the stands for the whole season and not getting any playing time is bound to get to him. Especially since he's supposed to still be improving and be playing in the Euros next summer. Why the hell did we spend 9M€ then if he's not needed here?

Because he read reports that Elia was training "really hard" so he certainly he must be entitled to start.

All of these guys (except Quags who's been inserted slowly into the team) got a fair chance to prove their worth this season. Elia got 45minutes in a game where the entire team sucked major balls.

edit: can you guys take a piss without each other? I get a bromance, but you don't have to team up like small girls every time one of you get into a discussion.

I have to say Elia is acting like a lil bitch ever since he joined us. Either he's trolling us (with his being a fan, his love for adp) or he's bitching about us/playing time. I'm pissed we ever signed him.

Twitter will be Elia's downfall.


I really can't take serious players that twitter as often as him. They should concentrate on football not on twittering.


I think this was one of the reason I didn't like Melo as well. He had such a poor attitude but he never tried to improve it, he just kept on twittering.


I would start a campaign: BAN TWITTER FROM FOOTBALL
