Good morning ed002 are Liverpool able to bring any loan players back in January? I am thinking mainly of Elliot and Gruijic. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I think Ben Woodburn can return in January but Harvey Elliott still legally counts as a child so the loan includes "schooling" so he cannot return until the summer. Unless there is a get-out clause in the agreement with Porto, which is unlikely, then Grujic has to see out his contract until the summer, when the club will look to sell him.}

Has Alan Hansen still got his boots?

Would you play Grujic over Jones? That's what I thought. Elliot needs to stay where he is; he's doing a great a job, but he's still a long way from challenging our front four for regular game time. I have high hopes that he will improve at Blackburn and get, at the very least, premier league loan next year. Sad as it is to say, long gone are the days when a player like Rooney comes in at 16-17 years old and makes an impact at a top ten club.

Grujic would of course get plenty game time atm. In addition he would be the best header of the ball in the squad. We are a bit more vulnerable at set pieces.

Ed002. Is Elliott receiving an education in Blackburn? I thought that the reason he'd gone on loan so locally was that he wouldn't have to relocate his education?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The rules are very strict for under 18s and Blackburn is I guess an hour or so from Liverpool. Regardless, he is only 17 so can only train and play a fixed number of hours per week and must complete his schooling in the rest of the time. The club will be ensuring the rules are applied - being under 18 the rules are very specific on loans which is why they are very rare and are looked at very carefully.}

Thanks for the reply Ed002. Have a great day.

That's very interesting, I'd have thought being contracted to a football league club would count as an apprenticeship and therefore full time education. Considering how many don't make the grade its good to know it doesn't!

Elliot is currently getting the chance to play week in week out and has the chance to prove himself instead of returning to sit on bench behind salah jota or minamino.

Grujic is barely even able to make his mark at Porto right now so why should Curtis Jones be seen as needing an upgrade with grujic. Thiago, OX and keita are still to come into the equation as all are returning to fitness now. We don't have the cluster of games every 3 days for next 5 weeks or so until CL restarts so we will be less strained with injury and fatigue to feel the need to bring back any loaned out players.
