Is he part of the group? Are they shunning him? Are they bullying him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES<\/p>\n<p>Smyth responded: \u201cI think we need to wait for the results of the paintball session to know exactly how the squad feels about Jack Harrison. If he comes back absolutely covered in welts and bruises, then I think we\u2019ll know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, he\u2019s looked like he\u2019s part of it \u2014 like he looks like he\u2019s working hard. He, to be honest, watching him in training and watching him in games, it doesn\u2019t really look any different to how it looked before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s still getting up and down. And what struck me during the game against SC Verl was that Farke is giving a lot of input to Harrison. Now, he has to because Dan James knows the system a lot more. He knows the way he wants to play, Gnonto similarly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarrison was getting a lot of input from Farke and I wonder would he be investing so much time and energy into a player if he thought this player wasn\u2019t going to be here to be used? I mean, obviously, things can change and he can move on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yeah, it just made me wonder, is Farke preparing for a season with Harrison among his options? Which will be an interesting one I think for the fanbase to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy concern or my feeling about it would be: who\u2019s going to stump up the necessary money \u2014 if not in transfer fee \u2014 then in wages for Jack Harrison after one goal and one assist at Everton last season?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2208687303-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Middlesbrough FC v Leeds United FC - Sky Bet Championship\" class=\"wp-image-79523\" \/>Photo by MI News\/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesThe seven other players most likely to leave Leeds United<\/p>\n<p>Some Leeds fans will be concerned that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/news\/how-jack-harrison-has-acted-in-leeds-united-training-ahead-of-crucial-daniel-farke-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison has been impressing in Leeds training so far<\/a>.
