Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Now at Hamburg as football director, Arnesen has been hurriedly negotiating deals for Jeffrey Bruma, Gokhan Tore, Jacopo Sala and England Under-21 star Michael Mancienne to join the German side. And the Blues - who are in need of a winger - are said to be eyeing a retaliatory raid and are considering highly-rated Elia, 24, who is unsettled.The Dutch Would Cup starlet fell out with former Hamburg manager Armin Veh in January, sparking huge interest - but no appropriate move could be brokered in time. Liverpool were one of the suitors tracking Elia, but the signing of Jordan Henderson has seen manager Kenny Dalglish's interest fade - especially in the face of inflated demands from Hamburg.Arnesen's old club believe they have leverage for a possible deal and, as such, Elia's £17million price-tag could be reduced as a form of 'compensation' for the Stamford Bridge youth raid. Elia has made 58 appearances for Hamburg since joining the club in 2009 from Steve McClaren's old side, FC Twente. His ability to play on both flanks earned him plenty of plaudits, both at the World Cup last year and in the Bundesliga, and that flexibility will have been duly noted by Chelsea talent scouts. http://www.metro.co....s#ixzz1Pdv0SZTy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I guess we could sign him if we wanted, though I heard from some HSV fans that he isn't anything special and that he doesn't play for the team but for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severinb 309 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 why pay 20 million euros for him if we could get mata for 25-30 million euros!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Eljero Elia is a great winger, no question about that. I see him going to a club like Liverpool though because I know they have been linked with him in the past.Severinb said it best, it would be a better deal to bring in Juan Mata.

termninja 5,290 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Mata and Hazard for me any day. Along with Sanchez these 3 will be the greatest players in the future you can have on your wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Kalou is better than him? what a joke, Kalou is not better than anyone!Anyway, i agree with getting Mata... but if we miss out to Liverpool or he decides to stay with Valencia, Elia is not really a bad option imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He's worse than Kalou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 We can do so much better then him, and I will be very disappointed if we sign him when there are Mata and Hazard out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuna 4 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Agree with you guys ,he's absolutely unnecessary for the team.As a player, naaah nothin' special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson 358 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Elia would prefer a move to England. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7137889,00.htmlShould we go for him? I think we should make a bid. I have a feeling Arnesen would be a cunt and say no though, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
