Just reading in the paper that we have agreed a £20m fee for him to make his move to Bournemouth permanent.
Seems the best way forward for the club. No way was he ever coming back.
No mention of Anthony but I hope he’s part of the deal.
Crazy that the YEP say he has yet to play a full 90 mins in the PL since he came to play in England.

Harrison was great for us, but don’t think anyone gains anything by him coming back.
He gave us 4 great years and was a very consistent performer for us. He deserved the move, especially after the club treated him on deadline day, will always remember him well as part of that Bielsa team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely right, best fans, that fiasco last January still leaves a sour aftertaste. I do not blame him for activating the release clause. Do I want him back? No. I think he has peaked, and at best, is a low level Premier league player. I think the bigger question is, would he want to come back after all that has happened? I doubt it.

I think the Harrison situation has the potential of becoming a mess.
He is a long contract with us that expires in 2028, but do Everton have the funds to buy him outright given all that has gone on there of late, I'm not sure.
The alternative is that we keep loaning him to them, like City did to us and we have done with Llorente to Roma but I cannot see that happening with a rival it makes no sense, why would you loan a valuable asset to a rival in the same league, year in/year out.
If he comes back, it's likely to be reluctantly, he has said he his very happy at Everton.
Must be causing some headaches.

Harrison will have a few teams willing to pay for him in the summer. Not worried about him at all. Underrated by a lot of Leeds fans, messed around by the club, and would have no issues with him coming back after his loan. But get the feeling an exit will still make sense for both us and him and his agent will easily be able to find him clubs prepare to pay a decent fee. Just as Leicester were prepared to last January.

Brilliant from Poveda.
Unlucky not to get more game time this season given positive signs but our squad is just too good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was brilliant last night. We were under the cosh before getting the opener which he created. He was always looking to create and make things happen. Reminded me a little bit of Forestieri. He tired in the second half and had to come off but excited to see what he can bring between now and the end of the season.

Didn’t see it but I’m not surprised. He’s very quick and very direct. In the right team, with a run of games, he will do OK.
This is his level though for sure - at the moment. He was just too far back in the reckoning at Leeds.
Good luck to him. Hopefully he won’t play against us this season.

He's on loan so as with these thing he will not be permitted to.

Why does Jack Harrison get preferential treatment in regards to coming back? English bias I suppose.
Disappointed in Sini, loved him in a Leeds shirt but clearly a mercenary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Jack just comes across as a nice lad. Yes he triggered the clause but he had every right to.
With the others I think they aren’t wanted back because they were just found wanting when we needed them,
I’d have Adams back if he wasn’t crocked. Sini threatened legal action and didn’t have a release clause as far as I can tell. Stuff him then.
Aaronson I liked but he was a luxury player we couldn’t afford.
Rasmus could have been a legend if he was any good. Loved his attitude but he just wasn’t PL standard.
Llorente had a player in him but the PL was too quick for him.
With Harrison I understand we are in the driving seat now. I read the clause to buy him ran out and any offer must now be agreed with LUFC. If he keeps playing well and Everton stay up then we should fleece them. If they go down then bring him home - whatever league we are in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Adams too threatened legal action. Check out the interview between the square ball lads and Kinnear . Kinnear back in September.
He mentioned this and when asked if he would have either player back at the club he said no.

Watching the game and Poveda more closely. He just dooesn’t cover enough grass. I suspect his distance run is pretty low compared to the rest of the league. And with Bielsa, Marsch & Farke that would practically make you ineligible to play.
