Hargo

Few whispers he's retiring. (yes, I know. He did 2 years ago, etc.)


Suppose it wouldn't be all too surprising.

The club have obviously found the papers for his insurance. Surprised it took them this long tbh.

obviously


maybe you could try looking at this from Hargreaves' personal perspective instead of forcing it into your debt management pigeon-hole with everything else?

It's inevitable really. Pity as at his best he was a very good player.

It's amazing that you can type with Joel's #@&%! in one hand and Bryan's in the other.

I was guessing you were doing it via speech-to-text but that'd be pretty hard to do with Malcolm hanging out of your mouth.

Damn our medical staff to hell, the useless £#%&!ers

I rather suspect the gimps were hoping he would make a miraculous return to fitness - which they could, of course, use as an excuse for not buying anybody else. Who knows, maybe now even they might be forced to rethink??

And here was me thinking that header at Sunderlamd was a sign there'd be a happy ending to this debacle.

Yep, all their fault. He was in fine fettle before he came to us of course.

so the medical staff are now to blame for someone being a £#%&! up?

Tbf, if he's not been applying himself properly in training, whilst making a mint for doing £#%&! all, people are bound to get irked.

It's probably not even true, anyway.

Think it's because he had previous knee porblems, which we surely knew about.

Other clubs seem to manage with their crocks rather better than we do.......

There is an argument Rio's injuries have been incompetently handled, as well

Wouldn't it be their job to know? I assume that is what he is getting at.

Partly - but it was hardly treated in the optimum way subsequently, either

Also, last season we were promised at regular intervals that Hargreaves was "about to return" to training/the reserves/the subs bench - only for nothing to actually happen. I would certainly like to know what the hell has been going on here

(oh and Blazini and others - we could probably add the way Saha was handled to the case for the prosecution)

When, as we all know, the gimps are unwilling/unable to allow significant new signings, these things matter all the more.

Think this has been on the cards for a long time really big shame as he is the type of player we have been missing but don't think we would ever see him back at his best

Ruud did his cruciate. It's hardly the same, is it?

I don't blame the medical staff in the slightest for the signing - they present findings and others make the final decision whether it's worth proceeding.

Sahas problems were in his head.
