    QPR Transfer News are intimating that Hargreaves is going to train with us for a Pay As You Play Deal. Still think he has something to offer, even if it is more along the lines of 'this is how you train and play lads' to get the right attitude in the camp.

    Also heard Darren Anderton has been seen at the training ground.

    I see no harm in him training with the lads. If he comes through 8 weeks of being kicked to **** by Chopper Diakite i'd give him a place in the 25. ;)

    I don't know how many of you will agree, but if he is going to be used as a back up player, I'd much rather have Owen Hargreaves in my 25 than Shaun Derry

    Has the skill factor but isn't he injury prone?

    Hence the "back up" term. If Mark Hughes signs him, I'd be under the impression there'd be no injury worries

    This, on the other hand it will mean we have to sign u21s if we want to flesh out the squad.

    What a waste of money, even pay as you play. Can't believe he still finding interest in him. Whats he played, like 12 minute since 2008! <laugh>

    Watched him come through the Bayern Munich youth set up and play his way to the very top. Was definitely one of my favourites at Bayern. By the time United paid a shedload of money for him he had already been voted England Player of the Year 2006 on the official FA home page after being considered Englands best player during the world cup in 2006. He even managed to score in the penalty shoot out against Portugal, only a shame no other Englishman did...
    By that time he was Englands best midfielder, something he would still be if it wasn't for all the injuries imo. He had some niggles when playing for Bayern too but what's been going on after he swapped Munich for Manchester nobody knows, bad management of the player springs to mind.

    I agree with elnino on the injury part, if Mark Hughes believes signing him is worthwhile then it probably is. A one year pay-as-you-play deal with the option of a further year if he reaches at least 15 games sounds a good deal to me. We would finally have a set piece expert, brilliant.


    Just watch as Ronaldo makes way in the most important match of the season for United and Hargreaves wins them the league.

    Google search Injury Prone Footballers and Owen Hargreaves & Kieron Dyer make the top 11.

    We'll have the best trained physios in the Premiership, other clubs will be sending their medical teams to W12 for hands-on training.

    Any other ex-Man Citeh players going to be linked with us? Asa Hartford perhaps? Dennis Tueart anyone?

    Anyone seen his training videos from last summer? It doesn't get much more embarrasing than this, but it dooped City <laugh>
