Jack Harper

[scousefan]

Any updates on how he's getting on. I see that he was a late substitute again fur the under 21s against Villa. Is he truly fit now?

He was signed on a two year contract I think. Is there a prospect of getting into the first team squad next year?

 

[Springal]

I met his missus recently, yep should be fit and has been playing games (and scoring) - not sure how well he has settled and integrated but feels like he is a fair way off making the step up

 

[crabface]

Is he actually any good? Or over hyped because he was playing for the Real Madrid 3rds?

 

[Guinness Boy]

According to DIP he was bought for the first team

 

[Biscuit]

Not even one of the stronger players in the DS.

 

[StonehamPark]

Subbed in almost every DS game.

Unfit after many months of training or not living up to expectations.
OR previous injury is holding him back.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the plan was to integrate him into the first team Jan/Feb this year.

I think that was his aspiration rather than anything the club said.

Well....you met her?! So was she or not?

Should be fit? As in she is a footballers partner and therefore must be fit?

 

[Springal]

Given I'm pretty sure she was 17, or just 18 won't comment. Very tall though

Same with Hambo

Same with Hambo

Hambo posted in the last week that he was in the available pot from this week.....might see him turn out for DS and then get a short loan somewhere low down the pyramid....

Hope so! Haven't really seen anything of him.

 

[Easy 10]

Hopefully he'll prove to be a good signing in the long term, but he'll certainly need to buck the trend, because our development squad has never been anything other than a total graveyard for strikers here.

The collective hard-on from some posters on here when he first signed really was something to behold.

Whatever floats your boat.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

An unfathomable amount of expectation was put on both Harper & that other guy (Hambo?) making the first team. Never known anything like it. Obviously it would be great if they make the cut but some people had them down as 1st team starters, totally ludicrous.

 

[Pevenseagull]

In fairness I think too much emphasis was put on the 'Messi' bit of the
'Scottish Messi' nickname.

Indeed, Had the emphasis been put on "Scottish" there would have barely any expectation at all.

So he's another dud that's wasting wages
