£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.

No you can get an international one coming into his prime for £5m coming off a great season at Bournemouth. Strange world.

The Slovenian one probably isn't bringing his £180,000 per week wages with him though.

Emery will drive and shape him. If we really want him, which I’m not convinced of, he’s a good, young player and needs time and minutes with a manager who will be good for him.

I wonder what the feeling on here would have been had we been linked with bit part Man U player Scott McTominay last summer?

I'd have been well pleased, McTominay was always a very decent player at Man Utd.

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

Crikey, with the rumour of the Newcastle one, you could be doubly disappointed.

Anyway, don't you mean you're not Harving it?

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.


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.
So how is he going to help us compete against a team with Salah, Szoboslai, Jota, Diaz and Gakpo?

We're not going to play Liverpool every week.

By bringing something to help our other players maybe. Salah wasn't seen to be good enough to oust Willian or Costa at Chelsea when he was 21/22. Palmer and Rogers weren't judged good enough to compete with De Bruyne, Foden or Grealish. Players can improve when given multiple options to play, especially in a system more suited to them.

12 days to go until the end of the month and the PSR deadline by which time every 'in the know' journo says we desperately need to have a fire sale to avoid Armageddon. The only people not saying anything are those at the club who actually know what's going on. Maybe wishful thinking but could it be things are not as bad as we are being told?

I would have been very pleased. I’ve always rated him and he’d have worked well with McGinn.

Apparently we have got 12 days to make a major sale.
