Aston Villa have signed Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott on loan - with an obligation to buy conditional on appearances.

Unai will have to play him If he wants him and not leave him on the bench for 8 mths .



good signing . welcome Harv . .

We’ve now got two players for each position.  That arguably looks better.

Conditional on appearances means he has to get a haircut everyone likes.

Buy back clause is annoying, but the way of things now.

We need him to be good, but not excellent. It’s so frustrating, but on deadline day and when desperate I suppose

If there is a clause you'd assume it will be say 50m as we'd be paying 35m, so he's going to have to have a blinding couple of years and they go backwards for it to be triggered.

I note - conditional on appearances it becomes  permanent  so no gurantee. I wonder how many appearances he has to make

10

[SamTheMouse]

Pleased with this, he's a very promising young player.

I laughed at this probably more than I should.

Who knows how much it’ll be. I agree he’ll have to be bloody good though. Just wish we’d stop having to sign players with strings attached.

[PeterWithesShin]

Well it will be more than we paid, and we insert them as well.

That's just his haircut, mate.

[aldridgeboy]

Pleased with this one. I think he will do well

( in my professional footballing brain lol)

He is probably the one obvious upgrade for me of the windows as I think he is better than JJ. Actually excited by this and no shame that he can't dislodge Salah from the Kopites. Him wide right and cutting in on his left will give us fire power.

For me he takes over in midfield from SJM. Sancho down the left. Rogers in the middle. Tielemans and Kamara (when fit). Backed up by SJM, Onana, the lesser spotted Barkley (if ever fit).
