If Hardie keeps scoring the way he was, stays injury free and bangs in 15 goals, he will be out of contract next summer and Argyle may well be front of the queue to sign him on a free.
Hardie has had a money move go sour and knows that changing clubs and impressing new managers doesn't always work out.
Listening to Sarcevic recently, he said he was that depressed and fed up at Shrewsbury that he was on the verge of quitting football altogether. He had made preparations to change profession. Only a conversation with an agent convinced him to try one last club, a day or two later he had a move arranged and that was Argyle under Derek Adams.
