Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[eamonn]

Yeah but they've all been shite. He would have got regular cameos unlike at Villa. Maybe the step-up to a bigger club has been too much for him.

[N'ZMAV]

He's hardly getting a kick - in any competition - wonder if Unai doesn't rate his training

[N'ZMAV]

in comparison, Guessand must be a hero in training

He brings in his freshly baked croissants every morning.

Not even made the bench again today. Bizarre.

[Goldenballs]

It's a ridiculous clause that isn't doing anyone any favours. We can't risk get a proper look at him in games to decide if we're buying, it's not enough games to be sure, he's not playing any football, so it isn't good for him, and it's doing his value to Liverpool no good either.

I don’t think it’s that bizarre to be honest. We’re up against it financially, we have good players in his position that we’ve already paid for, we have more pressing needs in other positions that we may be able to address if we don’t buy him.

[Rigadon]

It can’t just be the clause. There’s something awry there. 

[Percy McCarthy]

It can’t just be the clause. There’s something awry there.

I think it’s the most credible/plausible explanation.

[AlexAlexCropley]

We need calm heads for this one.I hope there is a sanity clause.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s not a great look to be honest.

[Toronto Villa]

Not in the squad again for Bournemouth. I think now we will somehow cancel the Elliott deal in January. He’s a very good player so I just don’t get why Emery just ignores him. It’s not like we took a punt on a league 2 player that hasn’t worked out. He just came off a brilliant U21 tournament. Very disappointed by this as I thought he could do something for us and was really the only bright part of a terrible summer window.

That’s definitely part of it.  I wonder how fit he is if he’s basically not playing football games. 

[PeterWithesShin]

If we have no interest in making it permanent then hopefully he goes back in Jan and he can crack on with his career.

[kippaxvilla2]

Denholm Elliott has more chance of playing than this bloke.
