Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[Dante Lavelli]

Yes and no, it’s not like he has been injured so his underlying fitness should be okay.  Nerves and confidence could be less then optimum levels.

I did not see anything impressive when he played for Liverpool, he has no real pace, does not beat a player and does not get into dangerous positions.
The price was ridiculous.

[PaulWinch again]

He did get into dangerous positions for Liverpool, just look at his goals there.

Would always be suspicious of u21 football, it's a bit of a nothing grade in truth. Elliot definitely needs to step up his strength and conditioning work to compete at the highest level but he plays with his head up. Has a decent shot on him too.

He reminds me of Barry Bannan a bit. Tons of skill, but little in the way of physicality or pace.

He was never more dangerous than when he picked up a pen to sign for us.

Nail on head.

It's always confused me when they say the Championship is a physcial league, when players like Bannan can do very well there and I'm sure Elliot would too.

It maybe used to be the case but nowdays the Premier League players are like decathletes with a decent touch.

So, is there going to be a last-minute change to the circumstances surrounding Elliott or is the current stand-off going to continue till June?

[JJ-AV]

Tom Collomose in the Mail reporting that we and Liverpool are now discussing the terms of the loan with a view to amending them as at present, it suits no party.

Which kind of begs the question of why has it taken so long as presumably, these discussions have nothing to do with the transfer window.

Probably because we were hoping they’d call him back so we could het another loan

They didn’t want to do that as it’d help us and they’re trying to catch us

But they might be more willing to talk over removing the clause as if he doesn’t play he loses value

Really sad all round
