Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

[Dave P]

If they don’t want him, could we renegotiate the terms so we could play him and not have to buy him. Would that help us and Liverpool to protect their asset?

[Brazilian Villain]

Will Isak’s injury help us get Elliott back to Liverpool?  They’ll be needing bodies with Salah away as well

Bodies?

Should be fine as long as it doesn't involve Morgz.

[PhilVill]

They'll take him back, and quite soon into Jan too. We'll end up paying a percentage of his wage until the end of season as part of the deal but it'll be good for all concerned and be one less distraction for us in what could be a cracking 2nd half to the season.

Emery clearly isn't going to play him.

[Crown Hill]

It seems to have got to the point now where we don’t want to risk him being injured.

There’s something in The Athletic about us not wanting to pay £5m to terminate the loan apparently.

£5m would make his appearance in the Xmas advert one of the most expensive cameos in film history.

It's really sad. I said to the wife when we signed him that for £35m he will prove to be our best signing since SJM... I also told her I was gonna plunder the bookies on boxing day on the horses. Anyone wanting any predictions for anything.. Don't ask me.

I bet she was eating out of your hand after a charm offensive like that.

Yeah, it must be cheaper to pay his wages and maybe just use him in the Easter egg advert. Either way we’re off the hook for the £35m which hopefully we can spend better this time.

Obviously he’s on a very well compensated furlough, but I still feel for the kid.

[Mellin]

How many games has he played? Emergency injury option for remainder of the season, rather than pay 5m. Reckon he'll be on the bench Tuesday.

[Percy McCarthy]

How many loans are allowed? I saw something about two at any one time, but last year we had three.

[Dave]

Two domestic, an extra four international, a maximum of six overall.

Removed - said the same thing as the one above

^^ Cheers chaps.

Might be worth paying the cancellation fee if we’ve got someone else lined up then.
