cheers
What would you do with him though? He's not prolific enough to be a striker and not skillful enough to be a midfielder. He's Everton's Antoine Sibbers, albeit a better one.

Elia is a great talent, I have been following him since he got to be under the spotlight playing for Twente alongside Brian Ruiz. He did alright for Hamburg, he barely was given the chance to play for Juventus. I would fancy going for him.

I would sign Fellaini tomorrow as back up for Yaya, and a longer term replacement for Barry or even de Jong if he moves on. cant believe he is only 24, he has been around forever.
His big fault is his consistency, but maybe that is because he plays in an inconsistent side and playing with better players around him would see his game go to the next level.
Only problem is what that gollum looking cunt would expect in return.
