Harvey Elliott

[Elite 8,285]

Surprised it's only 3 years or is that the maximum for a player of his age?

Maximum ffor his age, there is the option for a 2 year extension at the end of the 3 years.

We shouldn't be giving contracts to people with top-knots anyway. Regardless of age or talent.

 Harvey Elliott: It’s not a popular haircut<br>I don’t think Jurgen’s a big fan. Sometimes I’ve come in with it tied up in a bit of a new style and he has just looked at it and started laughing.I’ve promised the lads that when I score my first professional goal, it’s coming off

Harvey Haircut

[aws 6,439]

When he's got a haircut like Milner I'll know he's a real prospect.

Seems to have started brightly, not sure if they are overrating him or if he really is the real deal. 

[Mathewbet1 1,235]

I think he's the deal for real

[VERBAL DIARRHEA 7,664]

He will be fine for us. Nice 12 months playing regularly will do him the world of good.

[TheDrowningMan 331]

You only had to look at the other clubs tracking him when he was at Fulham to know he had more about him than the average prospect.

There’s no absolute guarantee he’ll reach top-tier heights long-term, but I don’t think the precedent of Klopp loanees not making it at the club is relevant here; he’s 17 and would struggle for games now we’re out of the League Cup, but the fact that he’s already getting starts for a top-half Championship team bodes well.

He's really good technically. Too good for the Championship on that end, which is why he's looked impressive there. The key with us is he'll have to get a big engine so he can impact games for 90 minutes and improve his end product.

Don't want to go over the top, but he is basically a 17 year old Lionel Messi.

Messi has been modelling his game on Harveys all his career.

This was amusing: "If the stars align and we get promoted, would there be an option to buy him? If Brewster ended up at Sheff United, I see not why it should be impossible..." 

 

Ah, the endless delusional optimism of footy fans.

Yeah but didn't the next guy follow it up with "yeah I think the Venkys have a spare £100m".

I watched the 3 minute highlight reel of him and he looked like he played well.  I think he lacks pace though.  At that level it doesn’t seem to matter to much.  He’s not a shithouse like Woodburn and he can actually run with ball and beat a player unlike Wilson but similar to both of them I struggle to see what position he fits in the modern game at the top level.  He reminds me of Mata.  The lack of pace is going to kill his chances here I think.

Like Jones, he needs to either start scoring a bunch of goals, or he needs to become a centre mid.

[Jairzinho 22,419]

He'll do the latter.
