Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

Elliott is a really good player and he will be a really good player for us I’m pretty certain.

It's not really a great look when none of Malen, Guessand, Elliot or Sancho look a great fit for our setup but Ramsey was allowed leave instead. Same in midfield, Onana still delivering the square root of fuck all when it matters and Douglas Luiz starring for Forest last night v Porto.

Agreed re Ramsey and the others who have come in. I think Elliott is a super footballer but Emery ain't trusting him or doesn't see him fitting well into the required style of play.

Central midfield isn't a problem. We need a pacy winger. If not Guessand or Sancho then fast-track Broggio.

Central midfield with Onana in is weak compared to having YT, SJM or Bogarde alongside Kamara. I totally agree, however, that we need to pacy-winger option, and Guessand ain't that option; whether Sancho is remains to be seen.

[PaulWinch again]

Well Unai has been pretty clear.

Could we have not just paid Ramsey what he wanted and not bothered with Sancho and Elliott? It looks like we can get by ok without these two lads. Granted, JJ would have missed half the season with injury but God, I miss seeing one of our own get us up the pitch with pace and power, scaring the shit out of the Mavropanoses and Calvin Basseys of this PL world.
