Ian Nacho Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 I’d like him in our squad but we’d get ripped off so it’s a no from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 (edited) Honestly I would love to sit here and say this won’t happen. But with the Leicester, recent past, Brendan Rodgers. This transfer is so us right now. If true, we deserve everything we get. Edited 24 January 2023 by DezFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 (edited) Love us to get back to when we got gems and allsorts for decent prices. Nowadays Brighton seem to doing that brilliantly. This is the type of signing Brendan loves, buying from mid table EPL teams...paying over double how much they are worth because they have EPL experience. Didn't Klopp get rid of a record 16 players who played under Brendan in his first summer at Liverpool because they were rubbish. Jack probably a good player ....but no way worth 35m with 18months remaining on his contract..... he'll probably run it down for a higher wage somewhere Edited 24 January 2023 by CrispinLA in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastik Man Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 Saw this thread earlier and it worried me.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 We cannot be paying someone a six figure salary for them to out there and recommend Jack ****ing Harrison for £30 million! Surely not. i like Harrison for the squad. But if this is what we are planning this window as our marquee, save the money guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 Got it wrong, thought there can't be anything in this. Why would we be making a similar error, having learned the hard way with Perez? £35m potentially gets us Gonzalez so don't understand why we'd be paying that for Harrison. But there are far cheaper options than both of them who could have a very positive impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 If we got him for the fee quoted it would feel like we’d gone shopping in Poundland 35 million times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 Jack is a good player - for about the first 10 games this season statistically one of the best midfielders in the league. He’s leveled off since then and that’s probably closer to his sustainable level but nevertheless a creative force who presses and works hard defensively too. What he’s not is a true winger. If we were to sign him (which I doubt) and I can only imagine it’s as a Maddison replacement, because they’re similar sorts of players. Harrison, like Maddison, can play wide (though not on the “wing”, truthfully) but IMO is at his best more centrally - a recessed winger, more or less. Also played more on the left than right, though equally effective on either side. 35 million is too much, but the reason Leeds is looking to sell is they’re apparently moving on Weston McKennie. If that doesn’t happen they’ll probably stick with Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse doesn’t sell out his players to the press so it’s hard to know for sure. They’re also pretty loaded with #10-wide attacking types at the moment, and he may want to tweak the formation and use a box to box type like McKennie instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyJim1987 Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 They have Gnonto, Summerville coming through who look more dangerous and exciting than Harrison, so not surprised he's linked with a transfer. We shouldn't touch him for that price, but what other choices do we have. Left it too late like always. We should have been ready to pounce on signings as soon as the window opened.

Aus Fox Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 £35 million is a bit excessive, however, if you want to sign players from other Premier League Clubs there is always an inflated fee. We are both in a similar position league wise and as we are both trying to stay up, you’ll have to pay over the top. The fee in itself isn’t a major issue, fees come and go and the club will decide what they can afford to part with right now - the money problems come when players are overpaid and become unsellable. The question would be, is he better than what we have already? I would say, he’s on par with Perez, if we have everyone fit he wouldn’t start for us, but could be a useful player to bring on and change things up in a game. I can’t see this happening now, but potentially a transfer in the summer, where the fee may come down a bit and we will have freed up some room in the wages department.

FosseSpark Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 Gnonto (and before him Somerville) has nicked his position right, at lowly leeds, so it doesnt feel like an upgrade particularly as he plays left and we need right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
