Why don't we give them a contractQuote:

Harper needs to up his pace a bit if he wants to play at a higher level. An obvious talent on the ball but pace exposed off the ball.
Pretty sure his contract expires on May 31st Lloyd.Quote:

His contract may stipulate a twelve month extension in the club's favour but I genuinely have no idea on that one.
If he leaves for free then it will be a case of dara o ****, we should have signed up earlier.
If he goes, and there is little we can do to stop him, then he will probably join the list of players ex promising sat on their backsides watching games on a Saturday rather than playing!
