TRC Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 These people creaming for Paqueta, how many of them have seen him play? Ultimately a very good player but he's also a total wild card in how he adapts to English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas what he’s like @KaKa @McCormick He's been linked before. https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/kouadio-kone-a-diamond-in-the-rough/ At his best, he's like Yves Bissouma had a baby with Joelinton (2022 midfielder Joelinton). But he's still very much a breakout player - raw and far from the finished article. And if this is true, we can see the pattern of our scouting priorities. We aren't looking at "the finished articles" just yet - they cost too much, and would be unwilling to come to us. We're on the hunt for these young unpolished gems (some with very obvious perceived flaws like Joao Pedro- not prolific), and put them through the Eddie Howe system and integrate them slowly and well, and build up their value. Very much aiming to be the PL version of Dortmund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 To think that we matched Man City for 90 minutes yesterday and we are primed to push on and challenge the top 6, however we are unable to do that because the elite teams in Europe have a set of rules ( that everyone must follow apart from them ) that prevents us from doing so.

nufcjb Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I'd be happy if we finish top 8. But I'd really like us to add at least 2 or 3 quality players so that we can have a real go, at least for the Carabao League Cup so our current players don't need to play every match but instead, be on rotation for cup games and be fresh for PL games.

Coffee_Johnny Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yesterday’s game, and result, will have been seen by many who wouldn’t normally watch NUFC. Won’t hurt at all in swaying decision making about whether to come to this dubiously owned, perennially struggling Northern English outpost. Great advert for those we’ve already expressed interest in and a seed planted (with more to come) for future interests. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schecter Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 If that's true, off the start he's had and Leeds, they will never sell him unless we pay well over 40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 If he's got two years left this is their chance to sell for a good fee. Just like Leicester with Maddison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I know we obviously have our value metrics etc but I find it strange went up to 42 million for Maddison but not anywhere near that for Harrison. No doubt in my mind who the better player is (Maddison) but equally I think Harrison would be a better fit tactically and personality wise for what we need and what Howe wants for the team. The more I've seen us play and the way Harrison has started the season - I think he'd have fitted in like a glove and given us great balance. We should have gone in with a proper offer much earlier on in the window. I don't think they'll even consider selling now.

The Prophet Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yesterday showcased Harrison's potential, but that's by far the best he's played for Leeds. He needs to be more consistent week in, week out. I do like him though, I know our values will be very data driven, but based on the eye test he isn't worth more than £30 million. It seems a bit redundant anyway, as soon as they sold Raph they were always going to be reluctant sellers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
