Maybe there’s a bit of hope in there but I’ve always thought he’s looked good when I’ve seen him and he feels like someone who Howe would get fit and raring to go. Gives us options on both sides to switch flanks and he’s more than capable of chipping in with plenty goals as well. I’ve convinced myself, bring him in It's all depends on the price. Anything over 30m, which it's likely to be, and I'd walk away. Leeds as people have mentioned aren't under any pressure to sell Harrison, so our negotiating hand is weak. Harrison is a good player, but in a season or two he should be a useful sub and little else. So again it all depends on the price.

Ayatollah Hermione 14560 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Not a chance it’ll go as high as 30 million. Reckon it would be around 20 with add-ons and such. Hank Elevator will only need that to replace him with someone from Red Bull Dustpan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32926 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Having a look at a Leeds forum and they’d be happy with £40m for him so he’s probably worth less. The reason they may be willing to sell is that Ted Lasso doesn’t play with wingers/wide forwards so he wouldn’t fit in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Elevator will only need that to replace him with someone from Red Bull Dustpan Looking at prices these days a wide player who had 16 goal involvements season before last, is English, and is young, 30m is probably what you're going to spend everything being equal. Last season where he got 8 goals and 1 assist will be seen as a write off given how poor Leeds were in general. But again given Leeds don't really need to sell they'll likely ask over the odds for him. Apart from all that, as a player he's predominantly plays on the left wing, and obviously we need someone who will make that right wing their own.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I'm surprised Chelsea aren't in for Scamacca. He does seem to be very highly rated. Bit of a come down for him from PSG to the 'ammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he’s a good finisher and iirc hard worker defensively. He wasn’t great his final season at Lyon but still did more than any of our current right wingers. He’d be a threat tbf and it would be a relatively cheap player who improves the squad so we can keep pushing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Emmanuel Dennis off Watford would be a better shout in my opinion. He's available for around the same price, and I think has a bit more potential in terms of how prolific he could become. Cornet has played on the right of midfield but I think he's more comfortable on the left. I watched Dennis play wide right for a game or two for Watford, when he wasn't playing CF, and he looked very dangerous. Also as I was saying a week or so ago, the news about Sarr moving seems to have died down, but he has plenty of potential as well. I'd be pretty happy with a double deal for Dennis and Sarr off Watford if our first choice moves really are dead in the water.

Chris Waugh was recently saying that we're looking for someone who can play out wide and at CF in regard to Wilson's understudy. Scamacca is a pure number 9, so we're likely not even in for him. It makes senese given we're not likely to spend 40 odd million on an understudy for Wilson who can only come on to replace him, and as such mightn't get as much game time as they'd like. The profile of player we've been looking at, i.e. Ekitike, can play multiple positions across the front line.

Andrew 5123 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Even if we struggle to get a forward in, I think we can all see why that is the case, we're chasing good players the markets pricing is all over the gaff as some players are still moving for the insane prices of pre-covid and then some are shifting for far less than you'd expect. The quotes of 50 million for Isak, or raphinha or diaby when Haaland moved for 70 (I know there were other fees but there would be for the others too) are nonsense. I'd love us to get one more in but if we don't I'm ok with it, we've totally rebuilt our defence after years of neglect and our midfield structure has totally changed too (albeit with only one incoming player) thats not going for two windows.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Haaland had a clause in his contract that he could leave for the amount that Citeh paid for him iirc. I think the clause was once he hit a certain age his transfer fee had a specific limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost more remarkable that that deal was signed just prior to covid hitting and wiping a lot of money out of the game. 6 months prior to that Atletico signed Joao Felix for over 100 million and Griezmann went to Barca for about the same.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 As I was saying the other day Paqueta has filled in at CF on a number of occasions. It's fair to say that attacking midfield is definitely where he appears most comfortable, but if it's the case of either getting him now or missing out, it might be something to consider if we can't get the quality we're after with the right profile, in terms of a player who's almost equally as comfortable playing wide as they are at CF.
