I thought this had been bumped because he recently sent a short Tweet about London...

Can't see it happening, but personally, I wouldn't keep the door closed.

On a free would be a good signing IMO..we know he has quality and we seemed to keep him fit

He is back where he belongs, and deserves to be, because of the manner in which he 'jumped ship'. The grass isn't always greener... .

Same as.Problem is he may only be fit for a dozen games or so,so he is a gamble for any club.On his day he is a cracking player.Call me mad but I'd have him back. Bums off seats player.
He needs a new agent too.Get rid of the fella from last year.

I'm with Les on this.
If the management felt that they could keep him fit and if wages where reasonable, whats not to like about having him back?
He's not out of contract though is he?

Given we struggled to get him fit and took a season to get him involved at all, after a full season out I doubt we'd want to take the risk

He clearly made a bad choice in leaving.
However If the money was right, surely he is still a good candidate as a squad member?
He is young, talented and ambitious to prove himself, isn't that what we are after?
Yes fitness is an issue, and he clearly has some maturing to do, but I don't think his ability is in doubt.

Can't see where he would fit in given Judge, Dallas and Saunders plus Clarke on the way up too

Good player on his day but injury record poor and just don't see us taking the risk.
As much as I liked Harry I've also never seen a pro footballer who was only good for 60/70 minutes before running out of gas.
I think we have good enough options within the club already to pass on his services.

They're not going to play every game though and he'd be a hell of an option coming off the bench.
I can't see it happening anyway but I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if it did.

Brentford FC managed Harry's injury problems really well. The first year was getting him fit, the second year he showed what a talent he is, then he left because he probably thought his long term injuries were over. Sadly, they weren't, and he rarely played last season.
Harry was a talented footballer, one I hoped would've stayed to be part of what MB was building, obviously his needs, and his agents, were for a higher standard football straight away, instead of knuckling down and getting another season under his belt before thinking about moving on. I'd have loved it if Harry stayed, he didn't, and then picked up more injuries while at Doncaster. It will probably take another 6-12 months to get him back to where he was at the end of 2012/13 season. IMO, too long to wait, Harry was good when fit, but we need to get in players that can play straight away and put pressure on those within the first team squad.
What ever Harry does, I hope he gets another chance to show what he can do, he's a good player but very injury prone.

They say never go back. Apart from possibly Trotta, can't think of any returnee, who was as good, or better than first time round, apart also from loanees who came back as permanent.

I think Harry was supposed to be quite rude about his move to Donny and not letting people know what he doing, I doubt we'd see him again and that suits me.

Any club will want a player who actually plays. Harry's appearances are few. Apart from that, he wouldn't be good enough to make our bench anyway-we have improved.

I think what he really is saying is "Mathew, Mark, remember me? I'm not really playing much for Doncaster, I was good for half a season and I reckon you could get the besy out of me again Mark".

I'm sure he does genuinely wish us well, he must have positive memories of Brentford.

I would take him back. As a squad player and if he can keep injury free. Wont happen but on his day he's a quality player and I'm sure he regrets leaving us.

Seemed to do ok when he was here on the injury front. But then again i think our medical dept put a hell of a lot of work into getting HF fit.

We got promoted without him and so did Donny.
Reckon we'll carry on okay without him.

If his best mates play for us . that's why it's hard to fathom him leaving.

I'm sure AF has some very good friends in the current squad too. If/when WAFC and him get to talk terms do you think he is likely to say "thank you very much for offering to treble my wages but my friends back in TW8 mean more to me than that"
