Confirmed Signing Jack Harrison

[Goodisongang]

Just seen its a loan, happy with that then. Still hope we get gnonto but unlikely that now init

 

[Nightman]

An injured winger. Fantastic.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Makes me wonder if Mcneil has a serious injury

Because otherwise signing a player who is over a month away from fitness makes no sense

PL Injuries site says he is due back at the beginning of September.

Last 5 seasons:

Dwight McNeil scored 14 times for Burnley and Everton

Jack Harrison scored 31 times for Leeds.

Ok, some of those Leeds seasons were in the Championship, but he knows where the net is this lad and can chip in with crucial goals.

All our signings have to pass one test IMO: can they help us avoid relegation.

And look, if we get a clone of what McNeil did last season, on loan, that's a good for me.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Why pay 8 weeks of wages when he's injured?



Supposedly has a clause allowing him to leave on loan in the event of relegation as long as the loaning club covers all of his wages. A few Leeds players have them and already left on loan due to it

He got injured last month

Not sure how you’d come to that conclusion. Harrison will miss probably 3 games, or 4 with Doncaster. Just treat it as a deadline day signing.

I’d prefer to get this over the line now and have him recover here compared to him getting fit and maybe having other clubs interested. He’ll be available for nearly 40 games after the window closes, not sure why people are acting like it’ll be March before he’s back fit.

Pretty sure Dyche said hes back soon.

I think Harrison ir Leeds have agreed to the loan deal, and we have taken it up. Like let's be honest, we are looking to fill our loan slots up.

Can see Beto/Etikike on loan too, then we have 1 domestic loan left. Everloan is back!

 

[MACCA75]

Quite funny how many players are desperate to get out of Leeds - the team they put out yesterday was awful.

 

[Blue peter]

I’ll be honest, I’ll be gutted if we go to Leeds for Gnonto and come back with Harrison.

Like the opposite of demba Ba and Lukaku situation.

I think Harrison is far more effective than Gnonto - if we are to go to Leeds - out of the two players this would be my preference

 

[m hart89 efc]

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

Here at Everton, it’s ok to throw away the first 4/5 games of each season while we arse round with transfers and players.

And look, if we get a clone of what McNeil did last season, on loan, that's a good for me.

If we then go out and get a forward in that's me pacified.

A forward is crucial still.

 

[widnesblue]

So we’ll have McNeil, Danjuma and Harrison all fighting for the left side wing. We badly need a right sided winger to add bit of balance to the squad.

 

[Blue peter]

Bloody hell, I didn’t realise he was injured for gods sake. Three weeks is a long time in football when you have had the last two seasons we have had and are anxious about moving away from the foot of the table

McNeil won’t be seen for a fair while yet I don’t think.

I hope we get Beto.
