If Levitt is back his whole family can crash at mine, If Shanks also returns I'll kip in the backies.

Harkes has signed a 1 year extension. Official.

I'd rather have used his wage to bring in someone that wants to be here. Perhaps AU can enlighten us as to the point of this deal?

Why doesnt he want to be here? Is he not allowed to try to better himself?

If he wants to be here he'd at least sign a 2 year deal, he will be looking for a new club in January and playing to try and find one prior to the January window. I just don't see any value for United in this deal.

I have absolutely no problem with Ian Harkes as a player, just can't see why the club had to work so hard for a deal that's neither use nor ornament.

Perhaps East football's Willie26 would like to post about me here so as to allow me the right of reply instead of continuing to post snide remarks about me to his EF peers?

Go on son, you know you want to 🤣🤣

Do your school homework first though 👍

Not being funny mate but how do you know how hard they worked?

Classic case of our fans finding literally anything to moan about.

It's taken an age to sort out and it doesn't smack of the player really being committed. I think you will find that I'm one of the more positive ones so that's a little unfair, and I'll challenge anyone to find a post where I've had anything negative to say about Ian Harkes as a player.

But he is totally entitled to see what else was out there surely mate? I know you're a positive guy, to be honest I didnt even look at who posted it too closely and what you've said is something thats been said by many others. I just cant see why a slight delay re-signing the guy who was probably our most influential player in the first half of the season is seen as a bad thing. Its done. Lets enjoy the fact that we finally have an experienced centre mid signed for the season. 3 more please!!

Arab99 · 30/6/2022 4:01 pm

Is his Mrs still at Celtic?

Fair enough, as I said though, I doubt we will get a season out of him. If it had been a 2 year deal I'd have been delighted.

It's not been a 'little delay' though. He's had a new deal on the table for months. And after not getting a better deal elsewhere he's came back to Utd, but only shown the commitment of signing for 1 year.

Yes, he's entitled to see what is on offer elsewhere, but you can't blame the supporters for feeling underwhelmed about the whole re-signing of Harkes.

Anaku is coming on Monday, i believe.

Shedtastic · 30/6/2022 4:47 pm

The 1 year deal is so that his contract expires the same time as his wifes, whi knows they may have plans to go back home.
But that is the reason for the 1 year extension

I would imagine it suits all parties. If he does well and gels with the manager, they might explore an extension.

He has been on holiday in America. You don't know how committed or uncommitted he is
