The Harvey Elliott situation is a little strange. Villa aren't going to buy him so won't play him as it will trigger a buy out clause.

A £35m permanent deal will be triggered if he plays in 10 Premier League games.

Elliott, who starred for England Under-21s as they won the European Championship last summer, is not in the squad for Thursday's Europa League tie at Basel.

His last appearance came as a late substitute against Feyenoord in the Europa League on 2 October.

"We are speaking with him and about his situation. He is not here with us," Emery said when asked about Elliott on Wednesday

Doing the right thing if Emery doesn’t fancy him why waste 35m

There's that side of it but Villa would play him if the " clause" wasn't in place.
Its not the right thing, deliberately not playing footballers for non football reasons

Last 6 games. Villa 18/18 pts. Arsenal 11/18pts. City 15/18 pts.
If we don't win, it would comedy gold, if Emery dicks them.

Emery is a brilliant manager. I'd even consider him to take over when the GOAT decides to leave us.

Stay in this range of the top and get something at the emirates end of the month and they'll be well in the mix.

Emery done miracles especially with the recruitments and the club being under strict financial constraints, improvements of players too! Think there purchases the majority been hits too!

Fair play to Villa they've turned Rogers into a top top player
