None of these posts have addressed the potential of us getting Harvey Elliott. They’ve just been people trying to be funny in several ‘meta’ ways. Why has Ben Woodburn or Connor coady got anything to do with this signing? Coady was great. It was Woodbury’s first loan, we were the Petri dish for him, he wasn’t great and we worked around it and he’s since found his level lower than the championship. He didn’t cost us any games by throwing mistakes in left right centre so why the hate? That’s what a loan is supposed to do.
Harvey Elliott is a different proposition. He’s been on loan at Blackburn and smashed it. Great numbers and needs to ply his trade at a top Championship side going for promotion which we would be perfect for. Slav will probably be looking for that creative 10 in the Cairney mould and Elliott could be that. He’s really good.
There’s also the potential for a 2 year loan if we go up because he will be playing premier league football next season and he could be the Henderson of this year in that respect.
He’s good enough / he will be loaned to a club like us / We can afford him / we need a player with his skill set.
I think it’s a go-er.
