Bayern Munich refuse to budge over Hargreaves
http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slu...=afp&type=lgns
MUNICH, Germany (AFP) - Bayern Munich said they will not bow to persistent pleas by England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, who wants to leave the German champions for Manchester United. The 25-year-old Canadian-born Hargreaves pleaded in The Times of London Wednesday to be allowed to leave for Old Trafford so that he could be near his Bolton-based family. However Bayern, who have already stood firm on the issue, appear unruffled. "Our stance is the same - nothing will happen in the winter break," general manager Uli Hoeness said Thursday in bi-weekly magazine Kicker. Manchester United tried to sign Hargreaves earlier this season but Bayern rebuffed the approach, pointing out that the midfielder had recently signed a contract extension until June 2010. Hargreaves has tried to put pressure on Bayern to let him go in the January transfer window but the German champions are refusing to budge. Hargreaves has not played since September 16 when he broke his leg in Bayern's 2-1 defeat to Arminia Bielefeld. The leg has yet to heal properly and the 2001 Champions League winner admits he will have to wait until next year before resuming first team action. nft. |

We'd be better off looking elsewhere. Fernandes for example (I know Utd aren't) but this saga is nothing more than a waste of time. There's also some good young talent in the German league worth a look. Boetang at Hertha Berlin is one to watch. |

I thought Carlos was a fan of Fernandes and Harry likes a deal. |

CQ, Ronaldo and Fergie apparently. Makes you wonder why we'e not bothered about him. Shame really.
I suspect we'll 'hold fire' on a midfield signing until the Summer when we'll try again for Hargreaves and fail. Pity really we need a midfielder in January. I don't think I can bear seeing O'Shit coming on again for another 20minute spell to 'close the game out'. |
