Hafnia Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 7 hours ago, Bailey said: A player like Harrison will show a player like Gray what he should and could be. Gray is more talented. He has better technique, he is a better dribbler, he is a better finisher, he is quicker and is more electric with his acceleration. However Harrison isn't much worse but he has a far better brain and he will make more good decisions and those good decisions will lead to better individual and team performances. I don’t actually think gray is quicker or more technical. looked at Harrison a bit on videos now, his first touch is better than anyone in our side. Better crosser, can go either side on his dribbles with either foot so a defender can’t show him one way and feel that there is an advantage. deceptively quick and excellent close control. I’d say gray looks a better finisher maybe but with that said gray used to waste an awful lot. He’s a big upgrade for me. Wiggytop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much, much better version of Townsend for me. If by some miracle we can get Dom fit I am sure we will see plenty of dangerous crosses from Harrison for him.

StevO Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Still a bit weird we’ve not had a proper unveiling, photos with the shirt and interview. Maybe doing rehab abroad and never actually travelled to FF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that would be many quicker than Gray over short distances, I don't see that in Harrison personally, not that I am saying he is a slouch. Gray is one of the quickest dribblers at speed but he just runs into trouble and then hold on to it for too long. The point is that Harrison is a far better decision maker and an upgrade on what we have, which is something I think we can both agree on! dunlopp9987, Matt, StevO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Sounds very much like he'll become a permanent fixture. Very much an upgrade on Grey and without paying silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sev Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Any professional player should be able use the "other" foot. Not as good as the right or left one, but still. And yeah, let's have a permanent deal with Harrison, if possible. We need players like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think if Leeds don't get promoted we'll have a great chance of signing him and would likely want to. If Leeds get promoted it would depend on if he wants to go back to them and if we're willing to pay a likely higher price to pries him away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen a couple of examples but the manner with which he did it suggests he is ridiculously natural. Seen a few that spring to mind:- foden, berbatov, mahrez, James, bergkamp, forgot Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 He looked so much more comfortable playing in an advanced role behind DCL.
