He reminds me a lot of Kuyt. Bought for a lot of money to score goals, doesn't get the volume of goals that a frontman should but has a lot of qualities that managers like so he always finds himself in the starting XI because of his workrate, versatility, team ethic etc. He's just not a natural goalscorer is he ?
I actually think one of the best strikers in the Premiership this year who's gone under the radar, and I'd expect a really big season from next year is Kalinic at Blackburn. In a better side he'd be exceptional. Scores lots of different goals, always seems to hit the target, I like him alot.

He is, in ways, but I feel Kuyt has a lot more confidence, whereas Elmander I feel is quicker and probably has a bit more ability.
Problem is, though, a player like Elmander is alright for a side like Bolton, a manager's favourite who gets by through attitude, ethic etc., but for a side like us, I do wonder about Kuyt. I don't mind him in a 4-4-2 against smaller sides, but playing as a regular right winger, I am completely against.
The way Sevilla pulled their shorts down second half last night should give Atleti heart.
