    But we will need to sell as his value will drop off the wall with only 1 year left on his deal next summer so can’t let it run down.

    Is this real? Seen tweets about it but no photos. Hoping it’s not the case.

    If it is true then the whole Philips and Raphinah thing stinks to high heaven.
    Philips insists he goes to M/C so cut price deal Raphinah insists he goes to Barca so cut price deal whoever is doing the negotiating for Leeds(Orta)
    Should be fired
    Time we dug our heals in

    Taller than Gary Kelly, same height as Tony Dorigo ;)

    Same height as Alexander-Arnold, 3cm shorter than Tripper and Walker, the 3 English fullbacks ;)

    Doesn’t he have some sort of scouting role at the club for them?

    Yes, well I’m rather hoping that Radz and Orta might remember how close we came to being relegated last season so might just focus on the first team rather than another “next big thing” youngster we can release in four years time.

    Yes, but he might have helped us to safety by then meaning another 100-150 million and whatever fee we get for him.

    I don't see that happening given Harrisons form at the back end of the season playing as an inverted winger. Think he is a shoe in on the left hand side in front of a full back.

    That’s why the signing of Dan James made no sense because his best position is on the left and yet he’s never played there for Leeds as he couldn’t dislodge Harrison.

    Agree with foolee. As we currently don’t have a decent LB at the club we could utilise James in his proper position with Harrison behind him.

    Otherwise buy a quality LB and sell James. We can’t afford to have a £25m bench warmer. He can’t play any other position and he won’t be taking Harrison’s place anytime soon.

    If Raphinha stays I don’t think he’s as good in the JM narrow system. Harrison will get more width as a LB or LWB in the JM system, think it could work. Also, Gakpo plays on the left hand side/more central which makes me think in JMs narrow system it would be Harrison at LB, Gakpo as a LCAM and Aaronson as RCAM otherwise why are we after Gakpo.

    Didn’t JM more or less ditch the narrow system ny the end? Looked like we played with more traditional wingers as we used to?

    Because he'd have 6 months less on his contract.

    I'd prefer:

    ----------Bamford ---- New Striker-----
    De Ketelaere----------------- Aaronson
    ------------Roca-------Camara ----------
    New LB - Struijk - Koch - Kristensen
    -------------------Meslier-------------------

    I like having a right/left sided combo at center back and up front.
