The guy has hardly played any football for a 26 year old. Warnock got the best out of him maybe but still wasn't that outstanding. I agree that his attributes are what we need but is there better available? Reading the comments on the Cardiff board when he was released they seemed to rate him and felt he had been given a fair crack at the first team. Sounds promising but let’s get him signed first eh?

However when you look at career stats and performances he doesn't stand out. I don't see how that as an inaccurate comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often thought his control wasn't that great thus negating the advantage he had gained through pace. I think that’s fair, he rarely did the fullback one v one.

A squad player, nothing more I don’t know much about Harris beyond him fitting the rough criteria of what our squad is currently lacking - PACE. I can’t say I was overawed by the Aarons signing but in the games he played it was clear how much we’d missed a player in that mould. If Harris isn’t the one for you who would you be targeting for that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Harris’ end product is no doubt erratic otherwise he’d be playing more. But if he can carry the ball up the pitch quickly then we’re already miles better off. We saw what a difference that made to our play off chances. For a free transfer it’s nothing ventured nothing gained. If he does well then he’s still young enough to make a profit on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its alot more about the manager you have got in this division rather than the players you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the trendy wing back type but steady and does get a few assists. It was so noticeable when Hunt Wallace and Pudil were no longer playing how bad we were at the final ball from full back. Both sides of the pitch we’d get into great positions from overlapping and just needing that killer ball into the danger area, but it broke down far too often from Baker, Fox and Palmer. Agree we still need one or two with flair though if we move Joao and FF on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Harris isn’t the one for you who would you be targeting for that position? Well I agree with you about pace, we desperately need some of that. Both Odubajo and Harris would provide that, but they don’t provide enough goals for a wide player, certainly not in Bruce’s previous systems with one up top. It is a squad game though, so both can play their part, especially Odubajo, who can cover several positions. If we play the same system, we’ll need to be looking at 15 goals from each wide position. That’s what he got from Kodija and Snodgrass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Until we see some actual arrivals, it’s difficult to fathom how Bruce might set us up If anything can deduced from the 4 rumoured signings, maybe we won’t be going with his favoured 4-3-3 (4+5-1) That might change though, when we see who actually arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
