Presumably Leeds are trying to get rid of Harrison whether they're promoted or not

Would he be classed as a homegrown player who would help with FFP/PSR if they sold him?

He genuinely wouldn't get in Leeds' starting XI. If we're paying money for him outright then we're being ripped off at more than £15m and even at that I feel like we're still being ripped off.

We'll be after another loan I'm sure

I think it’s either a loan or nothing for Harrison.
Gana was the main one to tie down so that’s great news. I think KT will be hoping that we can survive one more year with the squad we have minus a potential sale of Onana.
A successful window means making a profit via Onana, reducing the wage bill and keeping everyone else together. Bring in Dobbin a lot more into the match day squad and add one or two loans/frees.
Just keep Pickford, Tark and Jarrad together and we don’t need to worry about relegation.

Not fussed about Harrison good squad player but average ability at best any young players capable of making the step up

Dobbin is a million miles away from being a premier league footballer and I doubt he'll ever get close.
Need to find some hidden gem of a wide player for peanuts sadly as we can't be relying on Dobbin.

£5m would be acceptable, £10m would be overpaying, £15m would be an abhorrent use of what limited funds we have.

Saw a report that they wanted 30m for him. Agree on dobbin. He looks well off.

Gana is brilliant news, am I right that’s him and Douc here next season? I know Douc had a difficult second half to the season but I feel (I.e. irrationally hope) he’ll be back firing come August.

Yeah, definitely agree. Thought I read an article quoting £20m recently though, so I may have adjusted my thinking based on that.
Obviously he does offer a lot defensively and he's a nice lad, but I'm struggling to think of an actual winger we've had that offers less than him.

Harrison is a squad filler, although I’d like to see him competing for the left wing role rather than right, loan would be ideal, but definitely 10 million the absolute max.

Would be pleased with a loan and devastated with a perm.
