Just noticed him playing against Japan and Scotland. Fantastic player. Played against us in last years CL qualifier for Twente. Winger.

Some wiki info:

Eljero Elia (born 13 February 1987) is a Dutch footballer who currently plays for German Bundesliga club Hamburger SV and the Netherlands national team.

Basically he played for Den Haag before moving to Twente and this summer was sold to Hamburg for 8.5 million.

Pace, skill, fantastic ability to get past opponents. A player with great potential and one to keep an eye out for. Will he be a Babel or Robben?? Time will tell.

Obligatory youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL-6O94l308

He's better than Babel. Heck Darren Huckerby is better than fucking Babel.

Arsene has been tracking him for awhile now, but we have not make any bid. With so many attackers graduating from our academy I dont think Wenger will make a bid for him. :coffee:

The skill to go past the Scotland keeper was pure class

did he stand out when we played twente?

'cause I don't remember him at all. It may just have been that I only have eyes for Steve McLaren.

He stood out only in that he looked a semi-decent player in a sea of mediocrity.

What's he doing here anyway? Or is it now quicker to list the players aren't linked to? :unsure:

We were linked with him quite a few times while he was at Twente.

Don't really think we'd be in to sign him considering he's just moved to Hamburg, he'd cost at least 12-14 million... would Wenger pay that for someone no one's ever heard of?

Nah, tbh.

My cock is a better football player than Babel.

As to where it got the ball skills, don't ask...

Hamburg are top of the table, beating Jens and co. 3-1. Elia scored again.
