New contract for Hargreaves?

Bullshit.

And Bryansrobsonsliver might be too classy to refrain from saying I told you so, but the abuse I got for hoping the Hargreaves deal would fall through due to his pathetic injury record BEFORE he joined United was ridiculous. I was right as usual. I have nothing agaist him personally, hes a good player when fit.

So many people on here hated Saha, yet Hargreaves constantly gets his arse licked when hes been even worse and cost us even more in transfer fee and wages. Why? WHY

3 months?

Good for you for predicting his getting injured, did you predict the CL win too?

People are/were frustrated because they don't like seeing players on the treatment table. I don't know anyone who 'hated' Saha, because on his day, he was a very, very good striker and could easily have become a great goalscorer for United.

Same with Hargreaves - sorts his injuries out and he'll be a great midfielder. They don't get injured on purpose ffs :shakhead:

Its hardly his fault is it? Saha was a different story, Fergie came out and said he was ok but mentally fragile, thats not the case with Hargreaves.
He will be a massive plus if he can return

Still its not like it wasn't going to be obvious, I did point out at the time (more than once if I remember) that when we bought him Saha had made more first team appearences in the last season than he had in the last 2. Shame he is quite a decent player, if he had good fitness record he might have been worth the money.

TBh, I'm happy with spending the money and winning a CL.

Jesus BRL, that's a marlo standard argument. You've made me feel genuinely sad now.

Never really understand it.

That penalty against Chelsea makes him worth the money we've spent on him.

Well I suppose Zlatan is in there. Point is it is conjecture and speculation that he is the reason we won the champions league in 2008 and pointing to one player who put in a decent shift for a couple of games and claiming it is worth 20 million is lunacy. He was a poor purchase and a waste of money and I don't believe for a single second that if he weren't in that side they wouldn't have done it as United with Ronaldo in that sort of form were irresistible.

Well i disagree, think he was an integral part of a very succesful season and was fantastic in the final, i've no doubt we'd have lost to Chelsea without him but there you go. If you wanna bask in told you so's that's up to you, i'm gonna enjoy the memory of his performances that season and hope that this current story suggests he might get back this season.

Well we can agree to disagree on his impact then. So on that basis you do really think that spending 20 million on a player for one season is good business and a good signing?

For what its worth I don't gloat with I told you so because
a, You were there and know what I told you
b, I'd much rather he were still in the team and would gain no pleasure from pointing out he isn't
c, It's not a top red thing to do
d, Super Jags has got a bit of a nasty knock at the moment so it would seem somehow hypocritical

Not necassarily but he isn't actually finished yet. As I say, the fact that united are possibly offering him a new contract, i'm gonna take some hope from that.

How much did we pay btw, just asking 'cos you've suddenly gone up from £16 million to £20 million and I honestly don't know?

It'll be £27m by the close of play today

Shame marlo's been scared away by his bitch slapping last night, he actually blames me for his signing, injuries and not being fit last season despite my "promises".

We should have sold him right after Moscow IMO, then we might have got all our money back. And the wages since then would have gone on a player that would actually be fit to help us and not this freeloader.

don't really see how Hargreaves' importance in the 07/08 success can even be questioned.

just to back that up, he was a sub in Lyon, and then started the 2nd leg, home and away against Rome, home and away against barcelona, and was also excellent in the final. he scored a vital winner against Arsenal in a run-in showdown, and was also an important player throughout the rest of the campaign. he was nursed through it, no doubt about that. but he was used at Arsenal, at Anfield for example, and was also used last season at Chelsea (where he was injured in the follow through of a clattering challenge by Ashley Cole - kneed in the side of the knee iirc )

3 months = worth £17m + millions in wages a year?

When you see people like Palacios signed for £12m and earn peanuts, it is frustrating.
