2023/24 Jack Harrison

[anton66]

£10 million...are you living in 1995. Our bench had Beto (£30 mill), Godfrey (£25 mill), Keane (£25 mill), Cherymeti (£15 mill).

That’s why we’re in this position with FFP.

To be honest, it isn't. We only signed 2 of those 5 months ago.

Gomes, Mina, Sigi, Walcott, Schnderlain (however it's spelt), Sancho, James, etc etc are the reason for FFP breaches. Not our 2 summer signings.

None of them worth anything like what we paid.

Add a lot more to that list.
You could make a case that buying jack harrisons of this world for 10m would have saved a lot of this FFP nonsense. He's no worse than players we spent 3 or 4 times that value on.
Your cenk tosuns for 25m and 100k a week is why we're up sh!t creek.

Pretty sure the breaches were on interest payments on the new stadium

That’s why I say he’s not worth any more than 10M. Some people say buy him for 25???

Im reading a lot of dont buy him at all.
I think he does a decent job. Very dyche player. But thats the reality we are in now.
Villa have turned us over on their last 3 visits to goodison. Dug in today and got a point we wouldnt have last few seasons.
Its nothing to set off fireworks over. But its where we are.

 

[Zatara]

Its still a no from me.

 

[StDomingosGringo]

…we have a manager who is unlikely to trust him or develop him

Seen this still get trotted out a Dyche criticism a couple of times. What basis is there for it?

Myko is clearly improving. Branthwaite, Onana, Garner & McNeil are all 23 or younger & trusted to be first choice. Patterson is generally seen as improving by most & close to being a starter.

So is it coming from Burnley? Are we still saying he only plays 442 & hoofball to grocks too?

95M spunked on players that contribute little. Not the best example to use.

McNeil is poor in this setup and the two center mids are asked to play jobber roles instead of actual central midfield in a proper footballing system.

How does this relate to your post about not trusting & developing young players when given examples that contradict you?

Interesting other opinion though. Don’t agree with you at all but maybe if you explained what an “actual central midfield in a proper footballing system” means to you I will understand your opinion.

 

[kenada_blue]

Its still a no from me.

Don't think we have a choice to buy anyone the way things are going

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Unfortunately we need 2 wide players in the summer, maybe 3. So loan one buy two and would only buy him if he was cheap. We need better on at least one flank next season and Harrison/mcneil can fight it out for the other spot

Buy one …. Lol
