Never was, I don't think. Useful player to take on loan, but not someone I'd want permanently...he has a long and storied history of looking good for short stretches bookended by long periods of being quite useless.
At this point, I'd pass. Just doesn't seem to offer enough. I think he's a decent backup at that price, but why not take a shot on a youngster with a bit of upside? If it's true we got Vilhena for 5m, I'd take something like that all day over Elia.
Was at the Leicester game when 0-2 at half time. Drew 2-2 that day: Kevin Phillips equalised with what turned out to Goal of the Month - here's praying for a small miracle today...
With Spuds 2 down and a red card, do you suspect that they don't want the Europa League? We are doing our best to ensure that they get it.
I think Tottenham and Liverpool don't want Europa league. We, despite claiming to want it, have somehow managed to be worse than them.
Let's give Leicester some credit here. They've been tremendously disciplined defensively and working bloody hard. We just don't have an answer to that. Yet.
Yes, we moan about BT Sport, but Sportsnet have Francis as a summariser and Danny Dichio on the panel!
