I'll prove Wolves boss McCarthy was wrong not to sign me from Reading, insists Harper
Reading's James Harper is determined to prove to Mick McCarthy he is fully fit after the Wolves boss pulled out of a £2m deal for the midfielder last month because of doubts over his fitness.
The 28-year-old was disappointed when he was told by McCarthy he was not fit enough to join the club at the start of the season because of concerns over a groin injury.
But Harper is still hopeful the deal can be resurrected before the transfer window slams shut.
He says he feels 'unwanted' after Reading accepted Wolves' £2m bid for him last month.
'I respect Mick's decision but I don't agree with it,' said Harper. 'I was just recovering from a groin injury and when Mick looked at the scans he told me I wouldn't be ready. I think he is wrong.
'Since then he has been to the Madejski Stadium to watch me play and I hope my performance demonstrated that I can do a job.
'Reading have accepted a fee and it's not a nice feeling when you think they don't want you. Everyone wants to feel wanted.'
