Wow, I actually can't believe it.
I'm gonna pray for him and his legs.

What reserve games do we have coming up that he could potentially play in?
I think this option would best suit both player and club. Id love to see him get a pre season under his belt and who knows. Great news though..

Owen Hargreaves arrives for manchester united training
I'm not excited at all about this. He first needs to complete 90mins without breaking himself before I will get excited.
Sunderland on Thurs I think....
Sunderland, I think, on Thursday night.
So was it actually a long term hamstring injury? Nothing to do with his knees? If so I'm going to let myself be a little more excited.
No, he healed from his knee injury but came back to soon and fecked up his hamstring because of it.
Yeah I know that's what he did against Wolves but I just assumed that the reason he wasn't back sooner was because of his knees flaring up yet again. People are usually over hamstring injuries much quicker than this, but I suppose it is Hargreaves so who knows?
He is 30 and was out of the game a long time, and wasnt training enough until that hamstring. So, maybe that's why he is taking longer than usual.
Might be a tad early for him that one. Fingers crossed though.
Not been confirmed one way or another. Very unlikely a torn hammie alone would keep him out that long though.
I would be ecstatic to see him back. I doubt we will though, and even if we do, he may not be half the player he was. I must admit I was still delighted to hear he was back training. There's always hope. One must presume it's now or never for him.
Not sure about that Pogue. Michael Owen's torn hammy in the CC final kept him out for what? 5 months.
Must be the name Owen, just fecking dpoll it lads ffs.
True that. Although we should probably take into account the fact that Michael Owen's hamstrings are made of candy floss.
Imagine him coming back now after EVERYONE writing him off, even some of his biggest fans.... like a Phoenix from the flames!!
Any word on Ando? Seems everyone's back except him
If Hargreaves can remain healthy after this, it's quite a shame if he can't be involved in the latter stages of the CL

Nothing about Anderson. Hopefully back after the internationals but who knows. We were quick to deny claims about Michael Owen's injury being long term, saying he'll only miss Crawly, and then it took him an extra 3-4 weeks till he returned to training. We did the same with Anderson so I'm not holding my breath for tomorrow or Saturday anyway. Just hope he is back for the final push.
I'm one if the doubters and have always said I'd believe it when I see it
I still don't think he'll play a major role, if any but what a bonus it will be if we can get 10 games out of him
well hes been out for what two, three years. yeah 4 days of proper training will do him good
Great news if true, a fit Hargreaves is just what our lethargic midfield needs
Assuming he does actually get through at least a whole game for us before the end of the season and IF we are going to offer him a pay-as-you-play deal could anyone explain how it works? I appreciate either scenerio is extremely unlikely but just wondered if he gets paid at all if he doesn't play? Anybody know exactly how these contracts work? Also, who's gonna pay his medical bills next season? Even if it costs us nothing to take a punt is he worth a PL and CL place?
Pay as you play generally feature some kind of minimum wage per week and the rest of the pay is appearance bonuses, which on such a deal are more hefty that the usual appearance fee.
I understand basic and appearance bonus Sharky but I wondered what the ratio is? Only bothered because we have spent £30 million so far and I'm uncomfortable with more money being spent with no guarantees.
Well when Christian Vieri was on pay as you play at Atalanta his basic wage was 2000 euro a week, although that was notably extreme.
This thread is useless without pictures
Pretty easy to argue that Hargo is due a notably extreme contract too. £2K a week is a bit of an insult though. The academy lads must be on more than that.
Yeah but the academy lads earn their wages.
Harsh...but true.
How great would it be if he played against arsenal and scored to winner to get united to number 19
I really cannot believe how many would throw a man on the scrapheap, incredible.
I won't throw him on the scrapheap but I would open the door for him at the end of the season and thank him for the season and a bit he gave us and wish him well. We just can't offer him another big contract in the hope that he will one day return to his former glory.
Making him leave is throwing him on the scrapheap...
Do you really believe that after a show of faith such as a contract offer when he hasn't played in 2 years he would request 90K a week?
He should be given every opportunity to see if he can fully recover from his knee injuries.
I'd be sick if he left and then he started playing regularly for somebody else.
academy players dont get paid
Hes dead. Ive given up on him. Even if he some hows manages to stay fit for more than 5 minutes (literally), he wont perform at the same level he did the season we won the CL
whats with the toilet tissue
