Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[Dave]

Back out the squad again.

Maybe suggests that if there is an obligation to buy triggered after 10 games, those have to be league games. UTV

He'd be playing in the Europa League matches then.

Not necessarily, assuming Emery does not really fancy him.

With a few first choice options rested for Europa League games, Emery can put him on the bench and use him if needed - even if only to run down the clock. It might that he won't even risk that with league games.

In that case, the reason he's not playing is because we don't want to use him, not because of any stress about purchase obligations.

If we can use him in non-league matches without worrying about our agreement with Liverpool, and we're choosing not to use him, then the only reason we're not using him is because we don't want to.

He's going back to Liverpool.

The end.

The end.

I reckon the only way he stays is if they agree to waive the obligation to buy.

[Sexual Ealing]

If he wants to stay the hair needs to go.

If he wants to stay the hair needs to go.

Yes, that as well.

Although Foden is starting to beat Elliott to shittest two hairstyles in the prem by one player.

[Drummond]

Elliott has made a total of 5 appearances across all competitions (Premier League - 3, League Cup -1, and Europa League-1).

Been an unused substitute on at least 6 other occasions (3 in the Premier League and 3 in the Europa League).

So that's 11 times in the squad (6 Premier League), 5 times on the pitch.

Not sure where that leaves the 10, but I think it has to be said Emery isn't thinking he's the one.

He's going back to Liverpool.

The end.

That certainly seems to be the view of John Townley.

Unless it's 10 Premier League.

With Barkley potentially injured, it will be interesting if Harvey makes the bench Wednesday. I suspect he will although not neccesarily played.

As per posts above, then we'd be using him in Europe. Unless the reason we're not using him in Europe is that we don't think he's good enough.

In which case, the only reason we're not playing him is because we don't think he's good enough, and the "ten appearances" thing is a complete red herring as to why he's not playing.
