Confirmed Signing Jack Harrison

[Moomin]

OK. Let's see how many shots we have at villa. I doubt we will be approaching that game the way Leeds would have. Please vault me if I'm wrong

So people rate Guardiola as this great manager perhaps the best in the world but what defines a great manager.
Should a manager who is managing Barcelona with the best team in the world win the league and champions league... yes. he won the champions league twice with barcelona out of four attempts, he won the league 3 times out of 4. Is Luis Enrique a great manager too? or does he just managing a great team?
Should a manager with Bayern Munich win the champions league, a team who in his era there perhaps the best in the world.... yes, he didnt win it. He won the bundesliga 3 times but hardly surprising when he signed all their rivals best players from them, eg Lewandowski and Gotze.
My main point being, he failed at Bayern Munich, the league was a gimme for the them but ultimately the champions league he didnt even reach a final.
As for the premier league when did a team last win the league playing Barca esque style football? I dont think its been done. Look what that style did to Everton last season. Then compare Leicester's effective counter attack style.
For me Guardiola has done what has been expected of him as a whole on his career and certainly is no elite manager. His style will be found out and I expect him be struggling next season. I cant understand the hype and odds suggest Man City are huge favourites to win the league... not for me.

He'd have slotted 2 of those chances yesterday.

Oumar Niasse would’ve done.

Good signing this if we get it over the line.
Being saying to my lad for months, he is exactly what we need.
Works hard, decent free , kicks ect and the odd goal.

Agree, really think this boy will be what we need.

….don’t see him as anything like Gray. Gray is a complicated footballer difficult to form partnerships or blend with. I think Harrison is uncomplicated, much more of a team player. I think he’ll be more effective than Gray, but not a world beater.

Is more that he is inconsistent like gray agree would be more effective than gray, i am happy if he comes in

 

[Moomin]

Trying not to big the player up, cos it wont end well for the boy, but I really like the look of this lad, on paper.

He wont be fighting for the golden boot or have people comparing him to KDB, but I fully expect him to make the same impact McNeill did for us last season and for a club like us thats invaluable.

Please don't jinx him and change your username.

I don't see it with this lad , but you've only got to be better than iwobi to get a starting place so most would walk into the team

Dont worry, if he signs I will call him tosh all season.

Yeah he was reporting on the match yesterday for the bbc website. Assuming that makes him reasonably reliable. Assuming also it’s actually him lol

He always asks the dumbest questions in our pressers

 

[Bedfordblue]

Why are we buying a player that’s injured for a month?

Because Everton.
