2024/25 Jack Harrison

[windymiller]

Mate if I could draw it in crayon to help you understand I would, but unfortunately the option isn't there on the forum. Let me try to help though.

For around the 400th time to you this week - I DO NOT THINK MICHAEL KEANE IS A GOOD PLAYER, I JUST DON'T NECESSARILY THINK HE'S ANY WORSE THAN WHOEVER WE SIGNED ON A FREE INSTEAD WOULD BE.

The same principle applies to Harrison. I think when people say he's the worst player we've ever had and he's a League One player and all that then they're being ridiculously hyperbolic. I have a season ticket and there were people sat around me last year who just blamed him for absolutely everything, and were hyper-critical every time the ball went within about 10 yards of him. On that basis I'm quite comfortable saying he became a bit of a scapegoat and wasn't actually as terrible as people often made out. That - fairly obviously for those capable of thinking - doesn't mean that I think he's fantastic and we should bring him back.

You may have written in crayon (I don't know why you're always so furious that people disagree with you - and imply that they're thick when they do "those capable of thinking") but you didn't actually answer my question. Which is odd since you're so enlightened. I'll repeat it for you in clearer terms, if Keane and Harrison aren't/weren't bad players for Everton then who has been? And, if the answer is no one, then why have we been flirting with relegation for years despite not having any bad players?

It’s nothing to do with disagreeing. It’s to do with ignoring what’s actually written. You’ve responded to a post where I literally said Harrison ‘isn’t very good’ and signing him would be ‘disappointing even as a squad player’ as if I said he was great. In another post I said signing him would be a massive kick in the teeth. The same has happened with Keane, I’ve repeatedly said I don’t think he’s good but you’ve repeatedly replied as if I’ve said the exact opposite.

In terms of being ‘furious’, maybe take a step back and look at your own posting style. I can be sarky and abrasive in here, I’ve never shied away from that. It’s all meant in good humour but I accept that doesn’t always come across in writing. You seem to continually post really snarkily - which is absolutely fine - but when I reply in kind you start cryarsing as if I’m bullying you. Maybe pick a lane.

Astounding.

Again lads and lasses, unless Bobble, Joyce or, despite his faults, Romano report it, file it under Kopite bullshine

Isn’t Joyce a kopite? I always thought he was.

Rather lindstrom back before Harrison. I can just about stomach Harrison as second choice behind a quality right sided player. But only just.

Lindstrom couldn't hold Harrison's jock, and that's not much.

And they used to call Toffeeweb miseryweb...

Reality-web?

I’m amazed by people’s ability to find a reason for moaning.

Kit, kit manufacturer, stadium name, stadium tunnel, stadium tunnel’s shade of blue, 4th choice CB, contrived return of Harrison…

Incredible.

To be fair getting Harrison back is a fair shout for a good moan.

Do I have to stay as Thread Sponsor if we bring him back?

I'd put it in our top 10 worst ever signings. It's one thing signing a bad player from another club thinking they might be different in your system or under your management, but buying a player who's bad in your system and under your management would be mystifying.

We are not getting him back though.

Nice quietly controlled burn .. I like it

We finished 13th last season, and should have finished 12th the prior season, with him playing many of those minutes. There was no loan fee, all we paid were wages, not many of those players available. Given all that (and him playing out of position his entire time here), I have to disagree.

Does that mean I want him back or that he played well while here? No. But he was a symptom of the times more than anything, and frankly the results we got with guys like him, Doucoure etc. is pretty remarkable.

It's an extremely weird take that people wouldn't have a justified complaint with Harrison.

It's also amazing the amount of people who are unable to accept positive multiple aspects so far can be true at the same time as some possibly questionable ones.

Hopefully as mentioned this link is nonsense, but it's a big concern for me if we genuinely are wanting to pay money for someone who has categorically proved himself to be nowhere near good enough.

Its a fairly decent source to be fair.

Not like its African Foot.
