Easy 10 - him speak much sense.
The difference between Mayo and Harding, IMHO, is Mayo is never going to get any better. Yes, he "gives 100 per cent" , is "Sussex through and through" etc etc but he's such a limited player.
Harding gives the impression that with a full year at this level under his belt he'll develop into the sort of player who can cut out the basic mistakes and use speed and positioning to not get caught out 9 times out of 10.
Whereas Mayo, god love him, always seems to be diving in, making last-ditch tackles etc. It makes him look very committed (which he is) but I'd argue it also show the basic flaws in his game - not the best reader or tactician.
I'd like to keep Dan Harding or else try and find another left-back.
read Easy 10's comments again, you've misunderstood, him speak much crap

I would. Anything more than £150k tie them to a chair until they sign the cheque. Do not let them pass GO.
1 problem where would the money received from him go?
i would like to think 1/4 on a player 1/4 on falmer and the rest on the alive and kicking fund

If that was the case I would sell him immediately but sadly me thinks its not a true breakdown of where the money will go.
nor do i but we can only dream

Forget the 1/4 on a player and then you could be right 50% Falmer 50% General Expenses sorry Alive and Kicking Fund.
say its 100k
maybe we could have 20k of it that would get someone in till end of season

I think so, you think so, many others think so but does the man/men that make decisions think so!

to be fair you could apply exactly the same comments to Oatway, Hart and to a degree Danny Cullip. It is noticeable with Nicolas how he does his work with minimum of fuss due to his excellent reading of the game, he always seems to be in the right place. Ditto Guy Butters is generally in the right place at the right time.

Guy Butters has to read the game well as he would never get to the ball otherwise but he has been our strength this season in defence.
I am concerned that we are being overun in midfield of late irrespective of how many or how few we play there.

Agreed BG.
I would like to see Hammond & Nicolas in the center together. Currie on the right, and when El-abd is back, move Reid up to left. If he wants five, then bring in Chippy.

Playing Championship-level football, you need defenders with pace which is why we would miss Harding a lot. Mayo is a competent player whose assets are experience and a degree of comfort with the ball. But his lack of pace is a big drawback for a defender at this level.
Jonah is an interesting idea but there would be question marks over his tackling and his discipline at left-back. But Reid has adjusted well, so it's possible.

In general our whole game lacks pace
We seem so slow at doing most things would prefer to see a higher tempo

Agreed, but, at risk of repeating myself, what good is he to us if he continues his improvement at another club? I don't care how much better than Mayo he is, if he's wearing an Everton shirt.
