Clause only counts PL games, meaning he can play in EL games. And (I’m guessing) five more PL games? (Four appearances so far).

Wasn't Dave adamant that wasn't the case? He's usually right about everything.

I wouldn't say adamant. I definitely made the point that if it does apply only to Premier League games, there's no reason that he wasn't being used in European games*. Or against say, Newcastle last weekend. And that local journalists have spent the last six months fumbling about and guessing what the precise nature of the clauses are, because they didn't know.

Points (particularly the latter one) which I feel haven't exactly been refuted. They either didn't know what they were talking about before, or don't know what they're talking about now. Or most likely, both.

*edit - no reason apart from Emery thinking he was rubbish

So as alot of us suspected. Monchi signing, Liverpool  didn't  want to help for obvious  reasons

Odd for Emery to bring him back in for Brentford and bomb him out again. Id play him over Sancho or Bailey anyway.

Yes, people being baffled by this for months on end has been quite baffling.

Agreed. This would also tally with the recent "he can play in europa"

That seems like that was agreed recently with Liverpool. We would have used him more in europe otherwise

I think what's baffling is the thought that we won't give him PL minutes but are open to dropping him into a EL knock out game.

Our season needs an urgent lift, with very little football played it's a punt but preferable to Bailey or Sancho. Qualify for CL and Elliot contributes - it's surely worth it
