Would sooner we gave Maswanhise the chance. I'm amazed were even considering this. 13 hours ago, South Shire Fox said: Sickening if true. 100k on a ‘backup winger’ 😂 I agree on the 100k front, but would he really be back up, Barnes has been dreadful for 2 months now

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 6 February 2023 Posted 6 February 2023 Literally learnt nothing with regards to offloading Perez (previously), Vestegaard etc. 1

But that reflects that they’re paid to do different things. Again, if you’ve ever actually watched Harrison play he wanders all over the pitch, and spends a lot of his time centrally. Barnes basically hugs the touchline, ignores pressing and defending, and waits for a chance to hit the opponent on the break. His entire game is basically running at defenders, cutting inside to shoot, making the wrong decision and sometimes scoring anyway because he’s good at scoring goals. Harrison, if we signed him, would make the most sense if you believed Maddison was leaving this summer. Harrison can play as a sort of winger, but he can also fill Maddison’s creative role centrally. Not as well as Maddison does, but better than any of our other current options who are all playing out of position when they’re asked to.

Harrison is actually a good player (and in no way, shape, or form is Perez suited to do anything Maddison does for the side). Edited 7 February 2023 by Deeg67
st albans fox Posted 7 February 2023 Posted 7 February 2023 A new coach at Leeds means this is finished anyone with a footballing brain will want to keep the player there

Can see players like Harrison and Meslier leaving if they go down, and frankly I would take both. Still think there is better value to be had outside of the Premier League & Football League though.

If they go down we should be all over a few of their players! Gnonto, Summerville, Harrison and Tyler Adams would be all great for us. 2

Mr Rubbish is on the same number of goals as Saka, Salah, Firmino and Phil Foden. People really need to get a grip on this one. 5
Dames Posted 7 February 2023 Posted 7 February 2023 Its like a crap version of there must always be a Stark at Winterfell but in our case there must always be an average 30m winger on obscene wages at the King Power. 1

I have to confess to be being negative towards Barnes, mainly because the eyes sometimes think he makes bad choices, but the numbers do not lie when it comes to output (goals and assists). I must try harder! 1

I must try harder! Everytime i watch Liverpool these days i think Salah is complete junk. We watch Barnes and we want him to glide past defenders time after time, but its simply not possible. I really think the additional winger and the central striker on form will really help him. In Barnes we trust! 3

I must try harder! Your eyes are not wrong . At times this season promising situations have broken down due to Barnes making poor choices or executing simple passes badly. The stats don't necessarily reflect that and that is why I get frustrated with him at times. That doesn't mean he isn't a very decent player but he can be an even better one. 5
funkyrobot Posted 8 February 2023 Posted 8 February 2023 Just got hooked off after 62 mins against Man U. Leeds have been good but Harrison has been comfortably their worst player. Lots of effort and endeavour but little quality and gave the ball away lots. 2 1
StanSP Posted 12 February 2023 Posted 12 February 2023 Just runs a lot. Not sure what quality he even gives the Leeds team. 2

One game I saw him all he did was pass sideways except for one time when he got to the byline and attempted a cross but he miss-hit it and the ball went directly forwards and out for a goal kick. 1
lcfc_forever Posted 14 February 2023 Posted 14 February 2023 Thought his comments here about the move been cancelled are interesting - doesn't say anything about his commitment to Leeds. Seems to me he feels messed around and disappointed the move didn't happen in January: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leeds-united-star-jack-harrison-8142947

Harrison is still a good back-up LW option but if the £20m fee and rumoured £100k p/w wage packet are true its a pretty expensive addition. If we survive and Leeds don't, or even if Leeds do avoid the drop and he swerves the new deal, he could be available for a cheaper fee. I reckon he was more keen on this than the Leeds media let on. There are better options out there but this could still be a good iron to have in the fire for the summer.
