Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

If he'd have sulked around with a face like a slapped arse, then yes , no sympathy (even though the scenario is still the same). He hasn't though , from what I can see. He's lost any chance of being in the world cup squad through no fault of his own after joining in good faith.

It is his fault too ( or his agent ) because there was always that possibility when you arrange a deal like this it could happen

It is a short career though  so It is a shame he has wasted a year and nobody could really use him in that time

The deal was constructed that way by Liverpool to help us get around the financial restrictions last summer. Will be a long time I suspect before we have any transfer dealings with Liverpool again. Any club doing a loan agreement with us will be ultra cautious after our stunt here. Sure that's business I guess and Monchi takes the fall.

If Emery goes with a B team tonight then maybe Elliot gets a sympathy run out. No point playing Sancho again. Bailey possibly in the off chance he does something that might generate interest for him in the summer.
