Everyone is in agreement a Liverpool star made the wrong decision with his summer transfer, and a recent report from a trusted source has confirmed the deal could be cancelled.<\/p>\n
Much was made of Liverpool\u2019s lavish summer spending, with over \u00a3320m spent just on new forwards. However, it\u2019s important to remember Liverpool<\/a> recouped sizeable sums from player sales, many of which involved homegrown stars, meaning the proceeds were logged as pure profit on the books.<\/p>\n Among those to fit that billing included Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton and Ben Doak.<\/p>\n Harvey Elliott<\/a> also departed, though via a loan that contains a conditional obligation to buy. And after failing to get off the bench in Aston Villa\u2019s 2-1 Europa League defeat to Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday evening, many believe mistakes were made.<\/p>\n Elliott is a boyhood Liverpool fan and only left the club for the benefit 0f his career\u2026 or so he thought. His minutes were limited under Arne Slot and the entire purpose of taking flight was to up his game-time.<\/p>\n Yet Elliott has remained an unused substitute in four matches for Villa<\/a> thus far. The sum total of his minutes for his new club is a measly 167.<\/p>\n And with Villa trailing Go Ahead Eagles 2-1, manager Unai Emery made five changes in the second half \u2013 none of which saw Elliott take to the field. It\u2019s perhaps even more of a surprise that Elliott didn\u2019t start the game in what was a heavily rotated line-up in the first place.<\/p>\n The snub has drawn a unanimous response from football fans from all across the spectrum on X. The verdict is in and according to fans of Villa, Liverpool and even Manchester United, Elliott joining Aston Villa was a mistake.<\/p>\n What was the point in Harvey Elliott going to Villa?<\/p>\n \u2014 Tyler Ward (@tyler22ward) October 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n harvey elliott can\u2019t even get any minutes against go ahead eagles i give up<\/p>\n \u2014 catrin (@catrinavfc) October 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n how has harvey elliott not got a single minute of football all night<\/p>\n still can\u2019t quite get my head around it \u2013 just seems like a waste?!<\/p>\n \u2014 Gabriella (@gabsavfc_) October 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I feel for Harvey Elliott.

If activated, Villa will pay \u00a335m to sign the playmaker outright.<\/p>\n According to The Athletic<\/a>, the condition that triggers the obligation is Elliott making 10 appearances this season.<\/p>\n The report did not specify whether those appearances have to consist of a certain number of minutes, or if they must come in a specific competition, such as the Premier League, or whether all competitions count.<\/p>\n In any case, what is clear is Emery doesn\u2019t seem to fancy Elliott and thus far, he\u2019s made only five appearances.<\/p>\n If we continue to see Elliott remain rooted to the bench, the 22-year-old may wind up back at Anfield next summer.<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news \u2013 Bayern hammerblow \/ Van Dijk shuts pundit up and more\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n In other news, Bayern Munich look like landing a second transfer hammerblow on Liverpool after a recent meeting in Bavaria came to light<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere,\u00a0Virgil van Dijk has badly exposed a pundit\u2019s ridiculous take after\u00a0confirming what went down in a secret players-only meeting on Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, TEAMtalk has ranked which of Jurgen Klopp\u2019s signings at Liverpool are likeliest to leave next amid\u00a0growing concerns Mohamed Salah\u2019s time is up<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
