Harte stank up the World Cup for us - he was substituted in every single game, and then missed a penalty against Spain.

But I think he's a very good leftback player, young and very talented
Maybe he does need a move, but I can't see a big team going for him now. Arsenal have Cole, who's as young, and probably a little bit better anyway. Liverpool have Riise, who's one of their best players. Chelsea have Le Saux and Babyaroo, both of whom are very good. Only Man U could do with a left back, as Silvestre is stalling on a contract (he's asking for too much), and he's not great anyway. I suspect they won't go for someone as off-form as Harte though. They look nearly certain to get Escude next summer, and he plays left back, so that is probably that.
I guess Everton could do with a left-back - they're about the biggest team who do. I doubt we'll see Harte in Europe next year. Still, there's always the year after.
