He has quality but he is too much of a project at this moment. We already have the flakiness of Theo and Arshavin to contend with, Gervinho to bed in and the development of Chamberlain and Miyachi.
We need a more 'stable' player if we are bringing someone in; Elia is reminiscent of Nani when he went to ManU (not Babel), very obvious quality but very obvious need of time, training and development.
