No one plays football at school, not if they aspire to be a professional footballer. That stopped several decades ago, maybe more.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not sure that which school Harris attended has any bearing on anything to do with his courage or desire to succeed. If we are dealing with stereotypes and cliches then it might be fair to say that Edinburgh's fee paying attendees are generally more confident and full of self-belief. Ideal qualities.
Best just stick to what you see and quite rightly that would lead you to question Harris's commitment and talent. As you say, Stanton and Handling have the same issues and no one gives a **** about which school they went to.
As for the wider issue. The message is that they are free to leave. If they were valued by Stubbs then that would not apply. The rationale is obvious and I agree that. The trio concerned have all failed to make an impact. I would be surprised if they go on to better things, good luck to them and thanks for the effort.

For years this was put forward as the reason why British tennis was in the doldrums for years.
Too many Buster Mottrams and Andrew Castles.

Its a difficult one, but Hibs have got it right far far more often than they have got it wrong over the years and whilst one of these three might be the exception to the rule you can only wait for potential to be realised for so long.
FWIW I think they all have attributes but should all have delivered on them by now.
My biggest regret of the 3 is Harris
Its so long (Ivan first time around) since we had a real winger that I had very high hopes for Alex
I sincerely hope that he goes on to resurrect his career elsewhere
I do wonder though if he will forever be seen as mercurial talent either devastatingly good or bad, often in the same game.

You seem very confused, 1st quote states what Stubbs said himself in his interview, they are not in his plans, if they want to stay fair enough but the club will not stand in their way if another club wants them.
You said it's NOT true.
Then you claim to have seen it on the BBC website, which has nothing to do with what we were talking about which was Stubbs's interview.
The players are deemed surplus to requirements having not stepped up last season when needed, they are at an age when they should really be vying for a regular start and giving the manager headaches in his team selection but they are not.

Looks like there is some interest in Handling and Stanton to go on LOAN
No mention of Harris

having tasted first team football at higher level you would think he would not be happy just being a squad player now

He plays well enough then he gets to stay and continue to fight for his place. And for that he will need to start running at men again…..
If he doesn't then he goes on loan with no guarantees that he will have any future upon his return.
There is a player in there but he really frustrates me.

If Harris can get anywhere near the player he was when he burst onto the scene, then he could be an important player for us as pace and trickery are invaluable. Having time away from the club and the pressures will hopefully have helped, now lest see what Stubbs and co. can do to get him going again.

Whenever I have seen him his repertoire was limited to simply knocking the ball past his defender and using his pace to get past him.
Even the Yams worked out that all you need is a second defender a few feet behind the first one to cancel that out.
