What a tease this club is. :grin:

Experienced frontman who knows league two and league one so lots to like about this. :+1:

Wasn’t Clarke giving it the big 'un when they were both at Vale that Harrison owed his career to him or something?! :joy:

Left it late but much better! Just what was needed.

Physical presence up front. We have options again up top if we get any further injuries

Welcome big man - lets get this job finished :sunglasses:

Just the sort of player we need. Pity he wasnt signed 2 weeks ago and on a permanent. I would imagine he goes first choice alongside Jamma. With Flash, Levi, Wheatly and DJ dropping down a place.

On paper a cracking signing.

Don’t forget Albert!

And to think some of our fans doubted Ben Sadler’s remark that we’ll come out of the window stronger :thinking:

If the stats I’ve read are correct (a big ‘if’) he’s currently sat on 99 goals in his career. EDIT: I’ve read elsewhere that he now has 100 goals.

Similar vibes to Jamma and possibly Adomah, in terms of experience and incentives to hit milestones.

As a supporter, I’ve always considered him to be a ‘handful’ and at 31, he makes us less reliant on Jamma, which allows us to use him more sparingly.

The Doncaster game on 1 April will be ‘interesting’ given that Harrison scored, was involved in their red card and then got a straight red himself against them for MK Dons this season…:eyes:

Have seen a lot of franchise fans describe him as a ‘great impact sub’. Hoping he can be a starter for us.

Sneaky sneaky Saddlers :smile:

I’ve always been a huge Ellis Harrison fan, this is a quite superb signing.

Looking on you tube there’s a lot of clips of him taking and more importantly scoring penalties as well. Good signing this is.

MK Dons fans seem well pissed off, I’d rather listen to their opinions than one stubborn manager.

Good signing.

You never know how things will work out but this feels like a good signing. Not so old he is on his way to the knackers yard, probably just wants to play football and show what he can do to get a contract with us or someone else. Not coming on the back of a serious injury as far as I know either.

From what I’ve read as Mazza and others said, MK fans seem to rate him, and I have seen some posts from Vale fans that were complimentary about him.

We have good options up front now, a variety of different types of forward too.

I’m just pleased we’ve peed MK Dongs fans off :crazy_face:

From what I’ve read they ain’t bothered they’ve let him go cause they got Danilo oris in from burton.

It’s a different story on their Facebook page.

Fair enough. I don’t use Facebook/ Twitter etc so I go onto their actual forums and have a butchers and seems a more relaxed stance on there.
