Ben Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 27 minutes ago, Stottie said: I quite like Shelvey and think we have to keep him at least as Bruno backup. He doesn't provide the full Bruno package of course, but is our next best progressive passer in midfield, the only one who comes close. Lets hope the targets next season are Wilson or better, ASM no more than 40 yards from their goal, and a new signing who gets the pulse racing. I'm a Shelvey fan also, under the correct coaching he looks every bit a Premier league player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's earned the right to be a contributor, if he wants to keep his place in the first XI and keep up with our ambitions he needs to demonstrate excellent form on a consistent basis. For me, his limitations are going to limit our potential as a team and he will need to be upgraded. But it doesn't necessarily need to be in this window, especially if we sign a young prospect in CM to gradually bed in over time. I disagree re: benchmark comment, because applying that logic consistently we’d field a team of about 5 players. However, I agree with the sentiment, and if anything I think we will see an overall increase of the benchmark standard due to Howe’s coaching, squad competition, squad harmony and collective belief and optimism. Shelvey absolutely has limits but so do all but a small handful of our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Happinesstan said: I think Bruno and Joelinton in the middle with whatever is needed in the circumstances. Think we have Shelvey and Longstaff who can sit in front of defence, and Willock who can drive us forward, but what we lack is a midfielder to control the game in the opponents half. Of course we need another alternative up front, but I think for the next season a young prospect will suffice, but he'll still cost a packet Canny bag. Next priority is RW, but if we are smart, we could get a prospect to cover both positions, guaranteeing more playing time. And leave money to sign Bruno's mate. Of course if we managed to sign Erikson, that would be a coup. All of those can do a job (sort of) individually, but you never really see them combine well effectively, e.g win the ball then move the ball up the field in unison with quick one twos. Shelvey's just not capable of it, he can pick the ball up, then ping it forward but he stops there. Joelinton and Willock attempt to do it, but can be loose in possession. Longstaff is more of the same. Bruno stands out a mile in this regard. It's not urgent by any means, but we will need better footballers in possession if we want to challenge the top 6.

My Leeds mate says that Harrison could definitely do a job on the right wing as it's not clearly obvious which foot he's best with anyway. He takes corners with either. @HTT II would approve.

Good character, works his bollocks off after Bielsa conditioning, technically gifted with either foot. Ticks the boxes for Howe. Given we have the added quality of Trips at RB also, I think Harrison would be a savvy signing for us RW - anywhere in the region 10-15mill I'd be happy with that?

andyc35i Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I’d be happy with Harrison for £10-15m, but that ain’t going to happen considering Leeds have sold their best two players and don’t need the money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
