I have never paid much attention to Elliot before the WC but I thought he was very good at the WC. My reservation about signing him is, in part, age related but more that we really do need a creative mid-fielder and I see him as more in the Brown, Lia mold - i.e. a work horse.
 
Terry was on the radio yesterday and clearly stated, a number of times, his ambition remains to win the League. If we are to truly compete with Melbourne and Sydney, over the course of a full season, we need a "make a difference" creative play maker and, for me, that's not Elliot.
 
I think he would be fine as a squad player and a backup for Brown and Lia but, if $s are tight (which you would have to think they are) sign the striker, creative mid-fielder and McKain's replacement first and then see if we need and can afford someone like Elliot.
