And it's a sade indeication of our situation that I for one am still pleased he appears to be joining us. How will Harrison now be received by Everton, now that it is public knowledge that he was prepared to walk away from us at the last minute to join Villa - if the 'ITKs' are correct? But that's the thing, that might all have been bullshit. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s their job to get them the best deal. Yeah it’s a bit silly to think that other clubs with interest wouldn’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, to me, would show just how far down the pecking order we are for a generation of players who only know Everton as a mediocre (at best) club. Slow decline over 30 years I guess . All ifs and buts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Tiger Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Iwe sign him up I’ll be very happy with it regardless of all the hoopla. He’s a proven premier league player on the right side of the age curve, can play on either the left or right, and we can not only delay payment if we want him but also trial him to be sure we want him at all.

Newty82 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 I think we all know its tricky for us. We have to negotiate hard...for every penny...it leaves it easy for others to sweep in and take our targets. However, we usually are pretty good at keeping quiet on our deals. It's one of the few things I've always been 'proud' of in recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the club's fault that we're not an enticing option to go to anymore. Even if you believe this to be true, it’s a pointless observation. Short of a Time Machine, we can do nothing to change our past. Best to focus on what we can do to improve the club going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just made the mistake of watching his highlights from last season. A lot of good shit rammed into 4 minutes. Proper highlights. Then made the mistake of watching Gnotos. Obviously a lot more raw, being younger etc. But imagining these 2 alongside McNeil. I shouldn't have done it. Really shouldn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 4 hours ago, Hafnia said: I’m not sold on him being a decent player till @Bailey tells us he’s not been impressed by him. over to you Bailey! Let me watch a view videos and I'll come back to you I don't think you can go wrong with Harrison. He has enough pace, good feet and technical ability to go with it and he makes lots of good decisions. He is exactly the type of solid all-round player we seemingly have done our best to avoid in the past. Would still love Gnonto as well though!

Romey 1878 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 So, Bobble and Fab were completely and utterly wrong yesterday. If it's to do with team news on a match day it's clear Bobble has a source but if it's anything other than that then take it with a huge pinch of salt and wait for someone reputable to confirm it. And Fab? Well, we all know what he's like these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Good, solid player. Smart deal this, hopefully he comes back from his injury soon. Decent window so far, if we can add Gnonto & Beto it will be an excellent window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
