I'm going to double down on my previous policy of refusing to watch videos of prospective signings unless they are looking definite signings. Got burned by letting standards slide with Ekiteke and now he's at PSG. Once it's confirmed that Sesko is flying in for a medical I'll start hitting youtube. Until then, fuck him and Diaby.

Chris_R Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm not watching highlights of anyone until they sign. Absolutely gagging for us to sign a forward player of some description. I turst the club and the process, but I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Anyway, nice to see a few new names in the mix, can enjoy it for a few hours anyway before someone inevitably pours cold water on it. I'm still quite keen on Harrison fwiw, if Howe likes him it will be for good reason. No one can touch ASM for beating players one on one, but sometimes just passing the ball to the man in space can be the better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think Harrison isn’t completely convinced by how he’s going to fit into the RB 4-2-2-2 system and I think the manager would prefer a slightly different profile of player. Also think Leeds would sell any player for a healthy profit. Deal to to be done IMO but anything more than 30 mill is a rip off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improvement or not (in that position our bar is low), the probable outcome of investing in a 25 y/o being a 30% loss of value is a bet I do not take.

Guest Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'd put him in the same bracket as someone like Trossard. In the right set-up and team he could take a team to the top 8 or 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
