Alan Pardew: “Harps hasn’t got to prove anything or show anything to me.
“He’s a big character in the dressing room.
“He’s a great goalie, and one of these young ones has got to do a lot to dislodge him.
“Both of them are competing, and there’s Harps as well.
“It’s a decision I’ll make this week, and one of them will be happy, and two of them will be unhappy, I should think.
“He (Harper) is ready, and I’ll make the call this week.”
