Much to consider for such a youngster? Are his future and the clubs ambitions going in the same direction.
West Brom have invested in him since he was a young boy. Darren is a massive influence on his decision.
Obviously agents and family are advising him, with his break through this year riches that were in his dreams are now within his grasp.
The big question and only question is "How much is loyalty worth"
If anyone offers to increase his salary ten fold and a signing on fee of £500,000 what should he do?
I know what anyone of us would do - we would be off sharpish.
Agents and family would also be getting full wallets, the club will get some rewards also.
If Harper has ambition he has to go and find it - Our owners have shown they aren't bothered if we are successful or not.
All our other remaining quality players will be reviewing their options if we don't get promoted this year.
JRod - Gibbs - Dawson - Hegazi - Phillips - Livermore will all be available for a price.
This is what the championship offers! So many of our fans craved for it - now we have it. The reality is a bitter pill, not this fantastic feeling of winning games and fighting against relegation a distant memory. Look around at the clubs stuck in the championship - they struggle with owners investing. What does our future hold with an owner who refuses to invest a penny. If we don't get promotion this season the roller coaster will be on a long downhill run.
