ReggyRed Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Wouldn’t be a huge loss IMO, especially if we are planning to play 352. Always thought he was better off the bench, gets found out after the fullbacks have seen him do his step over and cross it a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well only need to get rid of about 3 more midfielders now! Palmer will be an interesting one. Might have to be loaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 To be honest I won’t be too sad to see him go. Decent left whip on the lad after a couple of step overs but doesn’t really add anymore than that. Doesn’t get into goal scoring positions enough.

And Its Smith Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Fee surely won’t be more than £5m with his contract situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WirralRobin Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Probably a very good move all-round I think this. Of course in an ideal world we'd keep him as he'd be an ideal plan B when chasing games and an interesting alternative option in the midfield 3 but with the sheer amount of competition for places in there he wouldn't even be in my top 5 for those 3 midfield slots so if we can cash in for him now I certainly would. I wish him all the best and look forward to seeing what he can do in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Pretty obvious we were going to sell someone to fund 4 new signings, have a feeling there will be a couple of others sold by Saturday week, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 In fairness, that doesn't say he's having talks with Villa. Suggests that Villa are in talks with us over it. Doesn't mean anything solid at this stage if they don't offer us enough money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might come back to bite me on the arse, but if it’s Villa, MA will be looking forward to taking some “wedge” off them. With it being Villa can see us getting more than £5m (plus add-ons)...which I think will be good business. Was worried he might go to a better Champ side with less money.

The Journalist Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 He's strong in the areas that are really difficult to coach (quick feet, pace, ridiculous delivery) and weak in the areas that are very coachable (defensive positioning, creating angles, getting into goalscoring positions). That he doesn't walk into our team, as one of the division's leading assist makers, is as much our failing as his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly lotto ball selections and poor setup means if he leaves some other team will enjoy his efforts, culmination of 4 years of squad building!

Sturny Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Some games he seemed like the only bit of flair we had on the pitch. Losing him will also feel like we have one less game changer on the bench. I'll be sad to see him go, but for all we know he may have asked to leave. If he makes Brunt & Martin financially possible then It feels less bitter more sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way we have way to many players and we are bringing four in. Something gotta give and the smart money was always on Elliason moving.

Dolman_Stand Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 May also be why we are in for Brunt who's delivery from the left is probably better than Eliasson's just doesn't have the pace and tricks to go with it. That being said NE does go missing for large parts of games and has failed to nail down a starting spot be it through his or LJ's fault. WIth a year left on his deal if he isn't going to extend his contract then its best we get a sizeable fee and sell-on for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-regular, with 10 months left on his contract, under a head-coach who doesn’t play wingers, it sounds like perfect time to move him on. Totally get those who disagree. I don’t dispute his skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He normally has two or three defenders on him when he’s in possession. He is the most exciting player to watch at the club and I will be sad when he’s gone.

But, if we don't, I'll still be questioning it in 12 months time because I just think he's the sort of player a mid-table club like us should be building a team around if we want to get anywhere.

AshtonRobin21 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 If we can get £5m and a hefty sell on clause I'm happy. Think he has the potential to secure us a future windfall (similar to Bolasie) off the back of a good season in the Prem. Especially at a club like Villa, where he can get picked up by a bigger Prem club or from abroad. By selling Eliasson, we will have covered the cost of Joe Williams, and may be able to re-invest the rest of the money in a solid LCB. I don't think we have seen the best of him and would be sad to see him go. However we have to protect ourselves if he won't sign a new deal.

BLRed Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 No doubt just sounding him out. They are meant to be in for Benrahma, Diangana and watkins. Where would eliasson fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
