Signing Elliot would be a bit of a backward step imo. In A League terms he reminds me of Ufuk Talay who was playing for the Fury this season. Both play very central, have good close ball control and passing, but are aging, fragile, and lacking in pace and mobility. Talay was only average, really struggled in the heat and eventually succumbed to injuries. If Ricki really wants an alternative to the current successful Nix midfield line up I would hope it would be someone younger than Elliot.
