I hope he comes good and silences the critics on here. When he gets a run of games he'll show what he can offer. I refuse to write him off just yet.

if you can't find them on this thread there's some MASSIVELY tedious ones on the thread below. You're welcome.

This is how I picture all the punners:

I thought be clicked with Bobby Zamora and he got off quite a lot of shots (% more than anyone else in the time he was on). An option from the subs bench yet.

More's to the point, how many tedious song puns will we have to endure on this thread ?

Bound to be 10+ by tonight I'd have thought.

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood but I quite like it when a song pun turns up - although I guess you Couldn't Call It Unexpected

(No.4). Just wait til The Other Side of Summer when another transfer window will have occurred and Elvis will be on his way again, maybe to Plymouth Argyle or another team with a Green Shirt. I'm sure he wants to move on again and is likely to celebrate extravagantly - I'm sure he'll be Turning the Town Red :thumbsup:

He is very raw, like Lua Lua was when he first joined us.

I believe he has the potential to come good and be a match winner but definitely needs more game time and with the team battling it out for promotion, it's hard to give him that. He needs to learn and work hard to improve his game and we don't play in a lower league (like we did with Lua Lua) so will he get enough pitch time here to make the grade, will the fans be patient enough to let him learn without hounding him out and writing him off way too early and does he have the temperament to try to be a success here.... we shall see.

This.

I'm on Team Elvis.

I'm not. (Of course will support him if he plays though).

But,

Nowhere near good enough and that opinion is not just based on first team games, but U21s as well, where if anything he should be head and shoulders above most other players.

Hopefully, Huddersfield have taught him the offside rule.

If there was a little less conversation on this thread the puns would dry up.

Interesting stat, how does it correlate with goals scored though?
