Harvey Elliott

If we did decide to move him on we’d be able to command a monstrous fee for him. But I think his homegrown status and versatility makes him a perfect squad player for now. 

Yes, I think we’d get good money for him and Diaz without missing too much from the team.

 

A new manager, who wants his own style, could see those two as the best way to generate £80-100m and get three first choice players in.

It's harsh that. If the new coach is desperate to bring in new faces, well of course, let him sell who he thinks is right.  But "without missing too much from the team"?

 

Elliot has been an effective sub all season, which in itself is a skill. He's young and English, so has time to improve and if we're to replace him, it'll need to be with someone English.

 

Diaz has 10 goals and 5 assists this season (a goal contribution under ever 150 mins, not great but good), had a slow start with injury and then had his mum and dad kidnapped! He played right through aside from maybe 1 or 2 games and never hid. 

 

I'm seriously trying to think of players better in his position in the league. Candidates would be doku (5 goals and 6 assists, and very inconsistent), martinelli (7 goals, 3 assists, all speed, no brain), son (probably the best in the league and has 12 goals, 6 assists), mitoma (looked good last season, but with loss of form and injury, less so 3 goals 6 assists), sterling has played off that side quite a bit this year and when I've seen him his most effective position (8 goals and 8 assists) and then we're getting into the bottom half of the league where the best is probably Hudson-odoi at forest and he's shite.

 

Personally I think Son is better than him, but is on the fag end of his career.  Then there's the bunch I listed, which I can see why people could debate all of them, but I wouldn't swap one for Diaz. And his numbers are as good or better than them all. 

 

Be careful what you wish for.

Elliott is quality and only 20,  give your heads a fucking wobble you negative cunts.

Fuck off, you’re just trying to get us to sell important players to Newcastke for your own benefit…

They’re both good players and they’re having good seasons. 
 

Neither are Steven Gerrard, though, and they’re not the first name on the sheet.
 

I think they’d individually command a £40-60m fee and that’s money that could go towards a player - or two - with a guaranteed position in our strongest XI. 
 

I’d be surprised if they were both still here in September.

Well of course they're not Steven Gerrard. He's one of the best players to have ever played for the club. And if a 22 year old Gerrard was available this summer, you wouldn't be buying him for less than Diaz and Elliot combined. 

 

And we lose matip and thiago off the wage bill this summer, plus whatever amortisation savings we have. It should be more than enough to help bolster the squad. 

 

It all feels the type of madness of selling mascherano to buy merieles or Alonso to buy aquilani (or Gareth Barry). 

[Carra_is_legend]

Ran himself to the ground again. Heart and soul is red. 

[bossy]

I often criticise him but he always, always gives his all. He deserves his place in our squad. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Been fantastic all season and had definitely stepped it up several levels.

 

What a signing.

[Planet Origi]

Just kept going and trying all game even through the tough moments

[Bobby Hundreds]

Safe to say he's been a surprise. He grew into his game before the Asian cup and has just kept on that trajectory. He's a very smart player.

Agreed. I’d never criticise his effort or how much it means to him.

Well that was for the Endo thread!

[aws]

Gave 100% for 120+ minutes. Ran his elongated socks off. 

[rubble-rouser]

Very unlucky with that header. Looked in

Who was the last player we had as under appreciated as Harvey? He's a fabulous footballer, he has a first touch as good as anyone in the league, he's played 100 games by 20 years of age for a club operating at the pinnacle of the sport. He's not fast but neither is Endo or MacAllister yet it seems to be held against him like some massive flaw people can't get past.

Harvest Elliott.

Shrewd. I like it.

[Supremolad]

I'm definitely not keen on the suggestion of selling Elliot to raise funds for a "stronger first team option". Ignoring the homegrown element (which is important btw), he is already of good quality with potentially 10 more years at the highest level. A period in which he can improve his physique and experience. 

 

So you sell him off, what's the guarantee that you find another player who is happy to step in as a squad member, full of passionate support for Liverpool, with similar level of quality Elliot already brings at 20.

[Em City]

He got better and better as the game went, especially in extra where he was exceptional imo. He really stepped up yesterday.

The fuck is this madness I'm reading here?

This is TLW. You’re probably going to need to be more specific.

There was a reason for that. Several, actually.
