To have armband taken off you, how does he move forward with club. That shows manr really doesn't believe in him. It leaves Harry in a position where he has to think about what he does moving forward. manr has shown he is t part of plans. I'm sure Harry will want to go and play - for himself, for his England career - to put himself in best position to be as successful as he can. best thing w is probably for him to move.
