Fox 4 Life Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Mate who is a Leeds season ticket holder is panicking about this, reckons he would great for us.
Fox in the North Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 (edited) It reminds me of us getting Albrighton years ago (fee aside). A very decent industrious winger which the selling club’s fans are reluctant lose. Edited 31 January 2023 by Fox in the North 1

I'm 75% confident of a 4th, We do need to reduce the wage bill by more than just Perez though. So we know 1 for sure, 1 almost done, is this the 3rd done(ish) or is this the 4th that 75% on and the 3rd is someone we haven't heard much of yet? I can't keep up, gone from signing no one to being linked with multiple players and actually have hope of bringing them in

And he's regressing. A big talent but I don't think he has the footballing brain to put it to best use. Harvey has done that once, by the way. And not on pace to do it this season. Admittedly any time a player regresses under a bad manager you have to wonder how much of it is down to that. 14 in 2019/20, 13 in 2020/21 when he missed the last third of the season and 16 last season. He's having a poor season by his standards and yet likely get close to that again. I share all the frustrations on the bits of his game he needs to improve, but he delivers and there's not many wingers that do that yet get held in much higher regard. I think we see Barnes improve by Tete creating more space for him by the opposition not being able to predict our patterns of attacking play. Barnes struggles to take players on but I challenge you to find a better winger at finding space to run on to a through ball or cross and finishing off his weaker foot. 7 1
Shane Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 He can get in the bin if its true he's unsure and having second thoughts. We need players like Faes and Kristiansen who were excited to join us and determined to make an impact. 1
LCCFox96 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Assuming Souttar's medical goes through fine, we now have a LB, a CB, and a left-footed RW in place. Those were priority positions. With the possible exception of GK, I would say this is the next highest priority. If there's a chance we can get it done, we hopefully will push hard. Harrison has a lot of attributes that would aid our fight to climb the table. Is he the most attractive option out there and the first choice for the fans? No. Does he improve the squad substantially? I'd argue yes. Barnes / Harrison and Tete / Albrighton is streaks ahead of our wide options at the start of the month in Barnes and Perez / Albrighton. That's in terms of quality, output, and depth. Harrison's blood and thunder high intensity style of play will appeal massively to our fans too. I was initially put off by the fee, and the fact we hadn't got Tete done. The fee isn't going to be a high as the first mooted £35m and Tete is here now. If the club, Glover, and Rodgers are aligned this couple be a very good addition. Hopefully we can shift at least Perez and Soyuncu to help balance the books too. 2

Yeah, I'm a Barnes fan, but he's the epitome of a modern winger. He's either 9/10 for a game or 2 or he's 4/10 for 3 or 4 games. I do share your thoughts on him maybe improving with the arrival of Tete. We're too one dimensional going forward and when we need to break quickly we rely on Barnes finding space, which is hard for anyone when you're being doubled up on by most teams

I asked a friend who supports Leeds and he said similar things. Wasn't too fussed before but his reaction makes me want him!

Gunnlaugson's Rizlas Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Looks like this is a dead cat rumour then. Need the player himself to suddenly want to play for us and Leeds to conjure a replacement half an hour before the window shuts. Let’s just back Albrighton to come good in the darkest hour.

Same vibe I’m getting. It’s one of those where it’s frustrating watching them sometimes, but you wouldn’t want the gamble of them being good for another team. It’s a bit like how I felt about Gray, but thankfully he’s just pony. Don’t think we’ll get Harrison anyway.
The_77 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Harrison’s shot creating stats from live play are pretty awful but he always puts up decent numbers. We know he can swing in a good corner and he’ll offer us a left-footed option for free kicks. He’s got a decent shot on him, if we were to sign him and get him firing on goal a bit more often to add to the defensive energy he’d bring, he’d be an excellent pickup. Rodgers seems to like setting up with one defensive winger and Harrison would be an upgrade for the Perez role when we need to play that way. A midfield of KDH, Maddison, and Tielemans may require us to press from the front more often, Harrison could offer us a lot in that sort of role. We also need fresh legs to bring on at the end of a game.
Kopic Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Face looks a bit too much like Kane for my liking. Avoid. 1
LestaLad Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Was coming round to the idea but there’s better players to spend that money on. 1

TiffToff88 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I love this forum. When the rumours started we didn't want him, when it looked like it could genuinely happen everyone was all for it, now it appears to not be happening we didn't want him anyway 😂 1 2
