Will Jack Harrison be returning to Everton?

The Rumour Mill continues to throw back the name of one Jack Harrison as someone who could still come back to Everton, despite a somewhat lacklustre career so far with The Blues. The reason quoted for such continued optimism: David Moyes likes him, so the story goes… 

Everton were able to sign Harrison on back-to-back loan deals for the past two seasons due to a clause in his contract that ensured he could move to a Premier League club while Leeds Utd were relegated to the Championship, providing certain conditions were met.

Moyes is said to like the player and Everton have considered whether it would make sense to try and secure his return should a deal be available at the right price. However, he scored only 4 goals in 63 league appearances over two seasons while on Merseyside, and was often the butt of fan criticism for his poor showings last season.

Yet, with Everton in desperate need of more players to bolster a ridiculously small squad, especially on the right flank, any potential for a return could be scuppered by Leeds boss Daniel Farke’s openness for Harrison to resurrect his career with the club:

“Overall it depends on how Jack uses his chances. Firstly, he’s under contract right now and knows the league and has many Premier League appearances. I have to say he had a brilliant first part of his time at Leeds United and a great season under Marcelo in the Premier League. Of course, it’s always tricky if you are for a couple of years away.

“Yes, he had this offer after we suffered relegation to stay at the top level. It’s also due to his performances he had delivered. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any interest. It was a decision before my time that he went away. But right now he’s also back with us and also a conversation with him. It totally depends on how he uses his chance.

“I think he is a great guy and a hard worker, pretty reliable. He’s proven his work on Premier League level. It’s up to him to win the trust and confidence back. It’s quite normal.”

Farke overall seems very encouraging to the player in his current position with the club, even though his name was booed when he played against Manchester United in Sweden yesterday. Farke related a couple of previous examples of players who had turned perceptions around:

“Two years ago, when I arrived, everyone was on the back of Junior Firpo – they told me he’s the worst signing ever. I said: ‘Woah, calm down, this guy will do miracles for us at Championship level.’ He’s now left as a hero for Leeds.

“I had a similar situation with [Brendan] Aaronson when on loan. Everyone was angry when he returned – yeah, there are a few things he can still improve, he’s proven he can work his socks off and, by doing this, he has got the support and trust of our supporters back.

“For Jack, he has chances to do this. This was a good first step today. The last two weeks in training he’s worked very hard. It’s up to him to prove he can play an important role. So far he’s on a good path.”

Yeah and while you’re at it, re sign DCL cause noone else wants him.. why not? I mean we kept Keane.. and Seamus will be great against teams without wingers, wait, that’s us isn’t it?

I think there was more than a few who posted on here that Harrison had improved after Moyes became manager—— I just couldn’t fantom where the improvement was and I was one of the Everton fans who really wanted Jack to succeed at the club because you could see he was desperate to—but nothing came off for him no matter how hard he tried.

If he does come back it will show how desperate we are to make the numbers up.

I’ll be in the minority here, but If the price is right then I don’t see the issue. It’s a squad game, we need bodies, and he works his arse off.

He was quite impressive for Leeds, I don’t think we’ve seen what he can do.

I really thought this nightmare scenario was behind us, and many have commented about him negatively on various threads in recent weeks.

This possibility was first mooted more than 2 months ago, when Anjishnu reported that: David Moyes is open to extending Jack Harrison’s stay at Everton

That was before the end of the season and the huge sigh of relief that accompanied his return to Elland Road when the second-season loan deal finally expired.

Bringing him back — not because he’s any good as a footballer, mind, but “because David Moyes likes him” — would really underline exactly where we are as a club as this so far uninspiring transfer window drags on.

Surely not. A sure fire way to turn the fans against the manager and owners in one go.

Getting the distinct impression he will be back. Cripes.

Maybe enquiries we have made for other players haven’t been successful and he’s a fall back?

He’s not easy on the eye, but he’s been a part of a team which pulled off a series of excellent wins.

If we can get him on another loan. or very cheaply (cos Leeds are desperate to get his wages off the bill), we should do so.

We need bodies, he is a popular squad member and always gives 100%. It’s a no-brainer.

A step backwards. We at least need to try and look forwards in our recruitment.

There are a number of young players out there better than Harrison, let’s at least make a serious attempt to sign one of them now we allegedly have some money in the budget.

He had plenty of game time here to show his worth and, apart from odd flashes, was totally underwhelming.

It’s a no-brainer.

Only if you have no brain, methinks.

He can’t dribble, shoot, cross and he is dead slow.

Apparently, he speaks Spanish though.

I wonder why Leeds don’t want him? If he’s the difference between staying up and not, its worth £100m+.

But Leeds would rather get rid.

@Steve 12

So how did he end up as a professional football player in the Premier League?


Ian Wilkins

I’m guessing he’s a fall back option that is fast becoming a certainty to return as other/ better options fall away and go elsewhere.
Waiting for a bad news day to announce it.


Sean Mitchell

Yeah, let’s have another season without goals. This contributes sweet fuck-all.

But he works hard.

Working hard doesn’t get you up the table. Assists and goals do.

Please, be a load of crap.


Andrew Clare

No thanks.

Like a lot of players we have had over recent years, he has no end product.

Articles like this ruin my Sundays.

Such a one-dimensional player, surely there is better out there who would love to play in our nice, shiny new stadium!


Steve Shave

I think this is possible as a squad player only.

I feel confident we would go out and get a starting right midfielder as well. If that’s the case, I’m okay with it.

He’s so left-footed. Definitely not required on our right side so whatever, he is surplus to requirements.

If these new guys are serious, they’ll be looking all over the world. Not at Jack Harrison. It just gets more and more worrying by the day.

Total lack of ideas or ambition.

I’ll take it back — it’s pure rumour crap.


Mike Hayes

You can see this happening – which beggars the question: Why return him to his parent club?

If we are moving forward, we don’t need to go back in for a headless chicken. Yes, he had a great work rate but he’s got no end product.

Fingers crossed this is a non-starter — there’s better out there.

I don’t buy the “he always gives 100%” and “he works his ass off” — how many times does he give away possession?

He can’t dribble, can’t cross, he goes backwards instead of forward, when is the last time he played well?


Robert Tressell

27 Posted

Hopefully not. I know he works hard and has Premier League experience but let’s be honest, he’s rubbish.

There must be better options available in world football.

Frank (17),

I think plenty of Everton fans who’ve watched him over the last two seasons have asked themselves that question more than once or twice.

Jesus Christ I hope not.

He’s a no-brainer for the brainless, Kevin. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Is there an affordable footballer on planet earth who can do more than run like the clappers and show ‘good defensive discipline’? I suspect there is, and that’s the kind of player we should be looking for.

And I suspect that we are extensively looking for better, just like all the other clubs with weakened squads.

Harrison was a decent player at Leeds under Bielsa, he scored goals and got assists. Dyche didn’t know how to use him and stuck him on the right, when he played on the left for Leeds.

He improved slightly under Moyes and I think a full pre-season with Moyes would help him. He would be a good squad player if the price was right.


Billy Bradshaw

Michael, any chance of putting the headline picture of him in a Leeds shirt, just to make me feel a bit better.

They all looked decent for a while under Bielsa, until he broke them and they had nothing left to give. His brand of smash bang wallop football isn’t sustainable in England. That why Leeds were relegated, and probably the main reason why he’s not worked here since. Of course, Moshiri was interested in him, he’s a ‘big’ name. Thank Christ Bielsa priced himself out of the job!

I wouldn’t even have him as the team coach driver


Josh Horne

This would be a real statement signing. I can see it happening.

Signing Doucoure would provide the perfect bad news story to sneak him back in unnoticed.

What he brought to our team; endeavour, dedication, team play and spirit, should be the very least we require for someone to wear our shirt. We should not be signing someone who offers nothing more than this. If he returns it will be a glimpse of the old Moyes.

Just off the topic, if you tune into BBC2 at 3.30pm, the All Ireland Hurling Final between Cork v Tipperary is on, with a sold out 82,000 at Croke Park, not being biased, the fastest and best game in the world!

I never understood why we played Jack Harrison on the right wing when apparently he played his best football on the left for Leeds. He clearly is not suited on the right, so if he returns I am hoping he will play on the left, where he might do better.
However, it’s all very sad, and certainly not exciting and as things stand we are clearly in for a difficult season.

Harrison to Everton?

Jewish. (neyn),

French: non

German: nein

Dutch: nee

Spanish: no

Italian: no

Portuguese: não

Russian: нет (nyet)

Japanese: いいえ (iie)

Korean: 아니요 (aniyo)

Turkish: hayır (hah-yuhr)

Finnish: ei

Hindi: नहीं (nahin)

Swedish: nej (ney)

Polish: nie

Greek: όχι (ochi

And the ultimate word for no, in English, Fuck off!!!😁

Harrison played in a friendly against Man Utd recently and was booed by Leeds fans when his name was announced and when he was on the pitch.

Along with the toxicity between the winger and the fanbase, the 28-year-old is coming off the back of a dreadful season at Everton, where he recorded just one goal and wasn’t credited with an assist in his 34 appearances in the Premier League. MotLeedsnews
