Is a 17-year-old going to be picked over Holtby, Johnson, Rothwell, Travis (when fit), the Norwich lad, and all the other experienced midfield players on the books?

I don't think so....unless Liverpool have a clause in the deal guaranteeing him game time. 

Elliott will play one of the wide roles in the front 3. Which is the area where we are weakest.

Depends if said 17 year old is good enough. Jude Bellingham was a regular in the league for Birmingham at 17.....then signed for Dortmund for £25m. I'd hazard a guess that Elliott is good enough.

He's a winger isn't he?

You don't know the player so how can you comment wether he will start or not?

You've just named a series of players that don't play in the same position as him. He's an attacking midfielder and primarily plays on the wing. So he's going to be challenging Brereton, Dolan, Chapman & Gallagher (if we persist in playing him out wide) for a starting spot.

Loves a slide tackle, good interceptions, good short and long range passer and strong on the ball! Looks good!

That seems like a goodbye too, he out of contract as well or do we have permanent deals written in to these loans do we think?

If he were in that sort of bracket he wouldn't be on loan to us.

There's going to be an awful lot of unhappy players in Mowbray's squad. As someone has pointed out, Mowbray can only pick 11.

On the other hand, the bran tub of Tony's Tombola has just got even deeper.

Stand by for more chopping and changing and different tactics every week to try and keep the camp happy.

Liverpool known for those sort of clauses, He will have to play a certain of of games or there’s a fee involved, I find it very clever

No but he will play out wide 

[RevidgeBlue]

Hope we manage to get the Liverpool lad done in time, for some strange reason he's the one of today's signings I'm most excited about.

We've gone from having a 34 year old spearheading the attack to potentially having two outstanding young talents with a combined age of 35 providing much of our threat.

Much more like it.

Said all along Vs aren't bothered about that they'd fund it without fans permanently i reckon.  As long as there was plenty televised publicity.

Jesus Christ, are you being negative to play devils advocate? If we’d signed nobody you’d be complaining that we have too small of a squad

Can we get someone to take Evans off our hands in the next 30 mins?

Do you have to register youngsters 

In most leagues and competitions anyone under a certain age does not need to be registered.

Dolan is U21 so doesn't have to be registered?

[SBlue]

That's a cracking squad then.

Does that apply to the Liverpool lad as well?

Check. Tony's Tombola is now defunct. 

Tony will need an algorithm to help him pick a starting XI from that lot.

[Roverinbelfast]

It's hard not to be excited after today's developments. The gaffer has gave himself some real selection headaches. It definitely has the feel of a last roll of the dice by venkys and the management.

Yeah i would have thought so.
