David Moyes open to extending Jack Harrison’s stay at Everton

If Moyes does re-sign him, it'll be a huge red flag that he's not going to take us forward as an attacking force and is going to be focused on defence and being negative.

Shame because he comes across well otherwise.

My only use for him would be to stick him in the U21s. Any players in the squad below his level need to be looking for another profession.

I don't think the reason is they have other options either.

Squad player and played on the left, maybe.
But he needs coaching on his game. Offers nothing.

Should always be behind McNeil and Ndiaye.

What's he like at left-back…?

Were you expecting anything different?

Moyes, man, you have money to spend and improve the team; look at his stats and tell me you think he's more than a Championship player. Sigh.

May as well let Virgina go and keep Begovic. If he retains half of those on the end of contracts or loans, we will be fucked again next season in the new stadium.

We want players who are workhorses but offer the maximum and at least weigh in with goals and assists instead of looking good running around. I'm already (after seeing this and Doucoure possibly being extended) not looking forward to next season and this one isn't over, talk about blowing your hopes and lowering your expectations, for fuck's sake!

I see Harrison as a decent, hard-working, squad player for someone but not the team that Everton should aspire to be.

I don't know what Moyes is thinking of though, extended loan for the transition period? Surely not a long contract?

More journo bollocks I suspect.

The Ghost of Moyes Past is knocking on the door.

Not sure who will have the final say on recruited or retained players for next season, but if Moyes publicly states he wants to sign the likes of Harrison, then he himself needs to be shown the door.

Moyes will be Moyes - and nothing will change that.

With Moyes hardwork every time. Docoure and Calvert Lewin once they get off their high horse wage demands will probably be the same.Opportunities for any of these to move on are going to be scarce at their current level.Calvert Lewin missed his opportunities last Summer believing his own hype and prevented Thewell from developed the forward line due to PSR..

Once Malaga and then Lindstrom.got injured creativity and the balance was lost in midfield..Moyes solution was hardwork and Everton gravitated back to Dycheball and no attacking tactics ,except belatedly in the second half. Of games..Also safe from relegation any urgency was gone in attitude and preparations.

He is currently telling the players this and they know themselves… but there is no tune.

Why are so many people blaming Moyes for keeping Harrison just because one newspaper article makes up a story?

What nonsense!

That said, there are some pretty unfair comments on this thread. Harrison might not be up to much, and might spend a lot of time on his hair and eyebrows, but I've never seen him give anything less than his best efforts.

Moyes has already suggested signing 10 or more players is not the way to go. I think he's right. It rarely works out as its very difficult to integrate that many.

We will need numbers and depth. Lads who know the division and can do a job and who want to be here - something very much missing for the majority of the Moshiri era.

I would be fine with players like Doucoure and Harrison returning for one more season. Additional quality alongside the grafters in the shape of perhaps 6 or 8 well judged signings – if the majority of them do the business – should have us between 8th -12th.

Calvert-Lewin hardworking? 🤣 — That made me laugh.

Offside. Can't be arsed. Cant' score. Can't outpace a slow defender. Injury-prone. Not worth the wages.

Well, then I'd agree.

We even found one for Bob the Pole way back. The interpreter was working in the city and a colleague of a good friend, who stopped going to the Lower Gwladys as he was getting tickets for the Directors Box. A long way from Speke!!

Random memory, there is great Italian Restaurant just off Hanover Street called Villa Romana. It was actually owned by Spanish owners and frequented by players of both clubs, with a lot of signed pictures. There is a very unassuming pub nearby, the Old Post Office.

I honestly don't think he's good enough to get into the Leeds team. Fingers crossed he remains their problem, not ours.

We've had two seasons of very little value and he is probably an example of why our recruitment team needs a shake-up.

There are several better Championship players that we should now be able to spend £12M on who would improve our first team.

Moyes loves a grafter and these two will, possibly, start on opening day in the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
