@chicoazul is this true?

I can confirm this.

Everton are rubbish and have been for decades, they’ll never win anything for beards to come. The only value on here is spectating the impotent rage of super bloos who’ve tied their entire identity to a redundant football club.

Welcome Jackie Harry, may you continue to turn back inside and lay the ball off much to the chagrin of our angriest.

You'll be eating your words when his face is reflecting in silver, ware that is - not a big pile of dosh.

If it was cheap, sensible wages with a view to playing cup games and injury cover then maybe....

Although surely some of the younger players could do similar?

He's on £90k a week and has three years left on his contract, so he's obviously not going to take any less than that. That's £14m just on wages over three years. Add to that a transfer fee and signing bonuses and you're probably looking at the best part of £20m. Doesn't sound cheap to me for a winger that got 1 goal and 0 assists last season.

It'd make the Keane deal look like when Cantona went to Man Utd.

Everton have been paying 90k a week for the past two years.

We don’t have a sample of what new Everton will do.

It entirely possible everyone gives a bit also, it’s not that complicated, Leeds get a nominal fee, Harrison gets his move, for the aforementioned hassle Everton give him 75k a week, that’s how deals get done in reality.

I’m not saying it will happen, but it’s far beyond reason, in fact there is an interesting value proposition.

£75k seems really excessive. The no fee/full wage deal the past two seasons likely had PSR benefits for both clubs.

Everton might have paid more with a typical loan fee plus a 50/50 wage split or similar, and Leeds might have been too close to the line with profit and loss if they took a fee so close to his book value. It was a good enough deal for both sides under the constraints, with Everton needing bodies with minimal money to spend, and Leeds being obligated to let him go on loan but having put themselves in a precarious spot with a bad contract.

If Harrison really wants to get it done, he has to do some soul searching and accept a very steep pay cut, with sensible performance bonuses. He has to be paid like a hardworking backup who hasn't scored in three years.

This is what I've been saying, but it's not unprecedented for a footballer to swallow his pride and take a reduced wage for a move he wants. I still don't like him at a lower wage, and have been saying for a while that he should be having a great career in the MLS. And now he's supposedly talking to MLS clubs to see about a move there. It's the right kind of league for him to shine. I follow Philadelphia Union and watch the occasional Seattle Sounders match, and I think he could dazzle here.
