Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

5 goals in 92 games doesn't scream attacking midfielder to me.

[LeeB]

I've never seen anything from Elliot that's made me sit up, and he lacks pace and physicality.

[ChicagoLion]

Am I getting confused but is this the same player who everyone was moaning about for England the other day?

The reason he does not get in the Liverpool team is because he is not good enough.
He has been hyped up , could be another Brewster situation.

Well, other than the fact that Brewster never played for the full L'pool side whereas Elliott has had 92 appearances (and 24 for the England U21).
For a reported £30m, Elliott would be a decent acquisition for the Emery 'talent academy'.

How many starts?

[frank black]

35 across 6 seasons. Only 2 last season

[frank black]

He’d be Buendia replacement, backup

[eamonn]

Can we spend so much money on a back-up?

[Proposition Joe]

There was a Liverpool guy on the 1874 podcast saying that Elliot is skillful but small, lightweight and slow.

I feel that we are well stocked with small/lightweight/slow players. The skillful bit is good, but I'd prefer skillful, powerful and pacy, otherwise it's yet another Villa midfielder to be bullied by other teams.

[Bosco81]

I think Elliott is a good player, as is Curtis Jones, but I don't think either of them suit us.

We need a fast attacking right winger, as it looks like Bailey is going, I'm guessing it might be young with potential at £20M, rather than a more polished one at £40-£50M, as there are other holes to fill as well.

£30m seems too much for Elliot, he's just a paul birch grafter. £5-10m you'd think 'alright then decent business, does a job, scores the odd screamer...'

You're not signing a second-choice goalkeeper from the Slovenian league for £5m these days.

Not being good enough to get into a team where he's competing with Salah, Szoboslai, Jota, Diaz and Gakpo (as either a 10 or a Right Winger) doesn't mean he's not a good player.

True but I agree with the point, I'd only be interested if he was on a free and there was a gap in the squad.

Me too.  Would he really be an upgrade on Ross Barlkey for example?  Nah, not for loadsamoney regardless of how many times a big German manager hugged him after subbing him on or 20 mins against Fulham.

[Sexual Ealing]

We simply can't be signing anyone called Harvey. I'm not having it.

[Dante Lavelli]

He’d be Buendia replacement, backup

From what I've read he's a jack of all trades master of none, consequently he's found it difficult to establish himself in a position.  I think I'd just keep Buendia as a deficit on the deals doesn't feel like a good move.
