Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[PeterWithesShin]

More chance of Harvey Smith playing for us. Actually, more chance of Sanyo Sanmar playing for us.

One for the kids there.

Harvey Elliott was player of tournament for the U21's in the Euros this summer. I saw him play and he was excellent, plus he scored in the final which England beat Germany 3-2. I find it really odd that he can't even make our bench??

U21s is underage football. While Eliot might shine at that level he might be finding the physical demands of the PL a bit too much. He does get knocked off the ball.too easily for my liking

Made over 140 appearances for Liverpool. His physicality is not an issue.

They played in a very different way to how we do though.

But what's that got do with him struggling with the physical demands of the PL? You don't play over 140 times for Liverpool if you can't cope physically.

Situation has gone from being a bit odd to blatant now - Emery clearly isn’t convinced and we don’t want to trigger the ten games and have to buy him.

Drinking sausage roll milkshakes.

Even then I'd give him the nod over EG, personally.

They were selling these in Greggs Newcastle the other week when I was up there.

Not sure how he can tell from the limited minutes he’s played?

I think it’s more a case that he just isn’t needed. He is no better than any midfielder we already have.

What was the fucking point in this whole deal?

He can't be any worse than Guessand, sorry. Player does seem to be caught in a bit of a power play.

Let’s face it, if he can’t get minutes against an Israeli pub team, he never will. Let the poor bloke go back to Liverpool, or somewhere who’ll play him. Pointless signing.

I guess he’s crap at right midfield and can’t be trusted do what Emery wants him to do.
He’s behind Roger’s and Buendia in the pecking order. I presume he was signed in this role bit little Emi sealed his place ahead of him.

[Exeter 77]

It feels like he is currently our 3rd choice on the right and in the Number 10 role.

[eamonn]

We're wasting our bloated wage-bill on non-contributors. Seems a bit dumb.

He's obviously doing something very wrong. Whether he lacks the physicality or tactical discipline or not to play right mid for Emery remains to be seen. It could have been tested in the last two Euro games but instead we have George Weah's cousin there instead stinking it out.
