Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

I reckon that there’s some truth in that last conjecture, although the target may extend beyond “the twats that follow us” to the club itself. Did everyone in the club really understand the deal?

Out of curiosity, how many appearances has Elliot made since Monchi left?

Yep and the Unai comments after the Sunderland game were pretty damning. To me this is why Monchi left so swiftly!

🚨⚠️ Unai Emery confirms Harvey Elliott is likely to leave Aston Villa in January: “Hopefully we can get a solution for him to try to play consistently, to continue in his career with us or not”.

“He is on loan here, but not definitely adding to us with a permanent contract”.

Maybe I'm overthinking it - and he is simply out the door on January 1st - but do the last two sentences suggest he could be staying as a loan signing if they remove the obligation - but no way we're spending £35m on him ?

I took it as that.

According to a recent article, five. In all competitions.

Had a quick look. Since Monchi left, he’s played the first 45 vs Fulham and a 4 minute cameo in the Europa.

It's not. Three of his five appearances were before Monchi left on September 22nd

You are right, sorry. Five in total. I need a trip to specsavers.

I suspect he will help Liverpool 2nd half of season and end up at Bournemouth ot Palace next season for 25m + add ons

That feels very prescient.

I wouldn't rule out him fitting back in at Liverpool, doing a good job, him being their Buendia and going on to having the sort of career which prompts umpteen "why didn't we just sign him?!?" posts in a few years time.

I thought you were sceptical of Liverpool wanting him back.
