Lcfc098 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Everyone slating the Harrison signing but dying for us to have kept Lookman. Lookman scored 4 goals in 35 appearances for Fulham before we signed him 1
Nick Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I think Harrison would be a Marv signing. Just need to get him back into the form when he first played for Leeds on loan from Man City. 1
StanSP Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 The comparison to Perez, since Perez joined at start of 19/20 season Perez on left, Harrison on right Appearances - 80-88 Goals - 12-17 Assists 9-13 Big chances created - 11-19 Pass completion pct - 78.49 - 72.30 Crosses - 68-399 1

Found it more surprising that he didn’t join than I did Schmeichel leaving. Harrison would be decent at £20m but he is arguably worse than Lookman for more money. It’s a shame we didn’t take the opportunity, but no point dwelling on the mistake now.

Lookman scored 4 goals in 35 appearances for Fulham before we signed him It's not necessarily Harrison though, it's the fee involved. If we have that money to spend there has to be better value. But I can see why we'd want someone who can come in and settle in straight away. Unfortunately that comes at an extra cost.
OliLCFC Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 can we even afford this? would be a great signing, just wondering if the finance is there.

jv1 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I like Harrison a lot - this would be a superb signing
FrankieADZ Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 no disrespect to Harrison, i think hes a decent player, but surely there are other younger players out there who play similar position to him for around the same price maybe @Ric Flaircould suggest a few 1
Dames Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 The 20 million figure being banded about now is a lot more sensible than the 30-35 million one from a few days ago. 20 million and its a good signing, 30-35 then absolutely not. 2
Vindaloo FOX Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Kinda reminds me of when we got Marc Albrighton, Talented English winger who has lost his way a bit, but hopefully the best is yet to come.
ousefox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Interestingly my Leeds mates all seem to have changed their tune on this and would actually be upset to see him go. I think the big thing is his inconsistency (like Barnes) makes him an incredibly frustrating player. Apparently he has lot of quality and we're laughing if we get him at it every week.

Ricey Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I like him as a player, but I think my hesitancy comes from the fact that I thought we had moved away from signing players like this from teams around us. I have PTSD after Perez, Vestergaard and Bertrand. Like Harrison, all of those players were regular first teamers, but without setting the world alight. You then end up paying over the odds because they are 'Premier League proven', but you'd like to think we've proven over the years that means very little. However, he does feel like a better fit than any of the above. No one could quite understand where Perez would fit in (and we still don't), whilst the laughter coming from Southampton regarding Vestergaard and Bertrand told you all you need to know. Add into the mix the fact that he is homegrown and it could be end up a sensible signing, at the right price. I wouldn't go over £25m and I doubt we will. 1

I think inconsistency is par for the course with creative wide players outside of the top 6. Confidence plays such a big part, as we see with Barnes, but it's also their job to take more risks than others, which can sometimes end in frustration. Even Mahrez would blow hot and cold. 2
