Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

Leeds type player. Might as well utilize him for 9 appearances then it is what it is. Not worth anything remotely close to £35m.

Whatever you say, Goldie.

Maybe he ruined a bet for him? 😔

Honestly, I don't disagree with Goldie on this.

A bit of a Tom Cleverley for the 2020s. Fine but we're beyond his and Guessand's levels now.

I thought he was fine for a man who couldn't be much further away from match fitness (outside of injury).

He was ok, was pleasantly surprised to see him still driving on in the closing minutes.  First half thought some of the inter play with Sancho was the only bright spark and had they had Cash out there not Bogarde I’m pretty sure we’d have overwhelmed the left back. 

Interesting that he was the last one in front of Holte applauding and waving - not sure if it was ‘hi, remember me’ or ‘bye’

[Matt C]

Either way, hope the club can find a solution for him before Monday, this current standoff isn’t working out too well for anyone.

Tyrone Mings posting the Ian Wright 'I thought you was dead' GIF on Elliott's Instagram post is pretty funny. These lads seem like a good laugh.

I keep a list of players in my notes and I’d much prefer us dipping back into the lower leagues to find more quality like Rogers. I really like Tyreece Campbell at Charlton — two-footed with blistering pace. His current stats don’t exactly jump off the page yet, but I can see there’s something there. Under Emery, he could be absolutely ridiculous for us on either wing. Elliott doesn’t give me that feeling, so he never made my list.

*Wrote purely for future receipts. When Brighton or Bournemouth inevitably sign him and everyone is going full Antoine Semenyo, I’ll be dusting this off.

Most of the squad reacting to his post positively, he's clearly a popular bloke with the players. Regardless of his contract position, he's obviously earned the respect of his colleagues while at Bodymoor.

I thought he did ok - considering he’s not played in months, and even when he’s had minutes it’s been fleeting. He kept going and had some good link up play.

[Villatillidie25]

Very hard to judge to be honest. We were so poor in the first 50-60 and they weren’t very good in general once we did decide to step up. He did no worse than anyone else and you can see he wants to try to play football. I can also see why Emery doesn’t fancy him and I think it’s just a case of Emery thinking this guys fine, we could coach him and he might play the way we want to but we don’t have £35m to punt on a “might” (notwithstanding the fact we chucked a similar amount at Guessand and he’s useless).

[Rigadon]

You’d be very harsh to judge him on last night.  So I’ll judge him on that and the other had full of appearance - he’s ok.  That’s it. 

[Ozzjim]

He ran around a lot. He showed for the ball. Gave his all which in the circumstances is a credit to him. He isn’t worth £35M though, and we need to sort something out with Liverpool quickly to either free the spot up, or be able to use him without signing him. Option 3 I guess is to negotiate a cheaper buy price so you could then simply sell him on for the same fee and not loose out too badly on SCR or whichever acronym we are meant to use these days.

[Pat Mustard]

As a Buendia understudy I think he would be a good option - we're just not in the position to spend £35 million quid on that.

That’s a succinct summary. 

Liverpool’s problem now is that his value will fall whilst he isn’t played. I will take a small amount of joy when he’s for £25m knowing they have “lost” £10m because they refused to relax the ten games clause.
