2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Jackson isn’t super talented, but he’s consistent and works hard. As a loan that’s decent.

[curiousorange]

The Athletic still seem pretty convinced Everton are signing him.

[pauliewalnuts]

Fabrizio seems to be backtracking a bit here

So we hadn’t realised he was out injured?

What nonsense, clearly backtracking.

[Beard82]

Apparently he injured so villa might be pulling out of this one

Good luck in getting the Holte to sing that.

[PeterWithesShin]

Everyone but Romano seems to know he's injured. There's zero chance that if we are interested in him, we didn't know he's injured.

[AV84]

Does it scream panic buy if we've apparently hijacked it at the last possible minute? Does it matter?

Interestingly just looking him up and there's a story that says we were actually interested in him earlier in the window but the perceived lack of first team opportunities made him prefer Everton.

Why is it a panic deal? Not even a buy. The club have said there are other deals being worked on and possibly this was considered due to Buendia. But I don’t see how this is panic if it’s a player that was on our list but a bit lower down that’s ok isn’t it? And he’s not immediately available I think but not a serious injury.

I didn't say it was, I just asked if it felt like one.

The fact we're trying to nick him off Everton's medical table certainly suggests it's a reactionary deal at the very least.

But all that may be irrelevant now.

You only have to look at who started this thread, it won't end well.

Exactly.

I was about to say the same.

What a nightmare start to the season he’s having.

I appreciate that in the hype=clicks=money world of social media it's how it has to be, but goodness me Romano.

"the incredible Jack Harrison saga"

I mean, yeah. The journey of Odysseus back from the Trojan war, the Epic of Gilgamesh and now the story of a two-bob winger choosing whether to sit on Villa's bench or start a few matches for Everton.

F*** off.

Nah I don’t read much into that stuff like others. Jinxes are for the weak minded. It’s all predetermined in the stars. I’m just reporting the news.

[AV84]

Surely our medical team have enough to be keeping them busy at the moment without another to look after.

Jack Harrison going to Everton would be a great ending to this thread.

[PaulWinch again]

So he’s going to Everton then?
