Hardaker's fall from grace this year, in terms of form, is representative of Leeds plight. From MOS, he now finds himself shunted between full-back and wing in an attempt to wring whatever match winning talent he still possesses out of him.
In terms of the man himself, what would you get for £300K? A petulant, disruptive and unpredictable firebrand, with a hugely-inflated sense of self-worth.
Undeniably talented, but with more issues than a psychiatrists bookshelf and simply not worth the bother. He is the natural heir to the Gareth Hock estate, and Jeremy Kyle should prepare the DNA tests for them both, because there's a definite pattern emerging here.
