I hear loads of rumours at work, in the pub, on here, and about 1 in 10 have any legs, so by that reckoning, it has about a 10 per cent chance of having any substance.

We know other teams covet Harry and tried to prise him away last summer, but he signed a new deal and I doubt he'd have his head turned by Mansfield.

Doesn't mean he wouldn't go if a team with more clout wanted him but I can't see what Mansfield could offer him that we can't, unless it's a lot more money and he just fancies a change of scenery.

That does seem a lot for a L2 midfielder going to another L2 club.

Mansfield don't look to have spent big money on signings but they do have a number of players signed in the last year with undisclosed fees but even then I doubt if Callum Johnson arrived from Ross County on a wave of cash.

I also wonder why Harry would want to go there (unless they're offering better wages), it's hardly a major step forward in his career.

Quoted from Mappers


Maybe my valuation of 750k was a bit high .

I suppose the only players that actually go for fees of high value down in league 2 / NL are ones that score a lot up top .

It shows you how important our cup run was , as we are realistically never likely to raise that sort of money from player sales in the short term .


£360k was already a bit high honestly lol. Wrexham paid 300k to get Ollie Palmer from two leagues above them and less than that for the likes of Tozer also from League One. Harry has his attributes and everybody loves him because he's a local lad that works hard for the team but people are dreaming if they think he's commanding such high fees. There is nothing special about him beyond his fitness and being a decent box to box midfielder who can defend along with attack. He's not a big time goal scorer who is going to bag goals and create just as many, he's not a set piece specialist that scores and creates, he's not a household name that will sell shirts, etc.

Nothing like a good rumour I suspect the talk of HC leaving is nothing like a good rumour,

I remember in the late 70's/early 80's when the late great Kev Moore was rumoured to be joining Liverpool, that one seemed to stick around for ages.

I like him as a local player which is always good but i wouldn't be disappointed if he left.
We need a much better midfield come next season.

Great attitude and brilliant work rate but like Hurst said a couple of years ago he doesnt need 11 dogs chasing the ball.

The good thing about Harry is that he can play several roles and will always give 100%. Every club needs a player like this. I couldn't really say what his best role is but he certainly has the energy for a ' box to box' midfielder and he does have an eye for goal.

If he did leave then good for him.  His workrate, versatility and consistency would only then be fully appreciated.
