Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[aldridgeboy]

Thought he had a good game. Should have had 2 really.
But more importantly , how good is his character ? I’ve seen no moaning publicly, he’s got his head down and got on with it. Must have been really tough , so fair play to him.

[martin o`who??]

Impressed me last night. Didn't have his arse in his hand - just went out and worked hard. I thought he improved as the game went on, and considering he's played no football to speak of for months, he did better than I would have expected.

Still think the lad's quality and would be quite happy for us to sign him permanently.

Agree. If its possible to feel sorry for a man on probably £100k a week I feel sorry for him, I was absolutely aching for him to do well last night and I think he did. Second half he went through the gears I felt. Those little first time passes were like a can opener on their back line and that's really for me where the game turned back our way. If Unai thinks he can do better for the price I'd be interested to know who he has in mind. I wish Harvey well.

I’d love us to sign him, I think he’d be excellent for us.

Not everything came off but I thought he was pretty decent in the second half.

Not everything came off

Well, let's all be thankful for that.

I thought he was ok last night (with hte expected rustiness of someone who has missed so much football) but it did seem, quite often, that he was trying to play a different game to the rest of the team, expecting runs that didn't happen, making runs into the wrong channels, etc. If that's what he's like in training I can see why emery has a lot of nice things to say about him (because the ability is there) but has decided not to make it permanent.

[Percy McCarthy]

It might be worth re-negotiating the buy clause as he’s already in the Euro squad, and therefore wouldn’t impact the inclusion of Bailey, Abraham and Luiz. Aside from that, I’d still rather have the £35m at the end of the season than Harvey.

[Ozzjim]

Re negotiating that clause could be the best "signing" option we could make in the last couple of days of the window.

[cdbearsfan]

There hasn't been any indication that Liverpool are interested in such a deal. I suppose another option is that we find a club who are willing to pay at least £30 million for him this summer and then we don't have to worry about the clause too much.

[Dante Lavelli]

If someone offered £25-30m for Buendia then I think Emery would trigger the ten games clause. Sadly for Elliot, no one has made that offer and therefore we are better off getting value out of Little Emi.

That's funny. I'm glad he's retained his sense of humour. The other players have kept his spirits up too which is good to see.

Little Emi is worth more and he's the one player we have who when not scoring worldies, operates so well with Rogers. I can't see Unai even considering his sale right now.

[eamonn]

Emi's give and go to Morgz helped get us back in the game. The Little Prince is here to thrive.

[Drummond]

He appears to have toned down the Barnet a little which I'm positive is the main reason for his return to the fold.

Surely it's the mane reason?
