Hargreaves left out of Champions League squad

[TBM]

I actually forgot this bloke was still around......he hasn't played since September 2008.

Now he had this problem (tendinitis in both knees) BEFORE his move to Utd........a move that cost them £17m

Anyway, he's hopefully he'll make the England World Cup squad, no chance!

Shame. He was our best player in the last World Cup.

Joe Cole was.

Ex-footballer Owen Hargreaves.

£17M / 37 appearances = £459,459.46 per match, plus wages. Ouch.

and they wonder why they're in debt

[Hoop Blah]

How much of that will be paid out by their insurance though?

Shame that it looks like he won't be getting fit again as I always quite liked him as a players, and he's perfect for a tournament squad because he could've played in a number of positions.

We don't really have another tough tackling holding midfielder to replace him with either, although we've done alright without one recently I suppose.

The reason why United are in debt is pretty much nothing to do with transfers.

In terms of hard running, high workrate, Milner seems to have got that covered.

On an aside - every girl I've watched a match with has made rather suggestive comments about what they'd do to him if they'd got the chance. Even my mum.

The same Joe Cole who was subbed after 65 ineffective minutes against Portugal in the Quarter-Final vs Portugal ? Hargreaves was outstanding in that game.

Joe Cole still scored a fantastic goal.

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

Last World Cup summed up Cole perfect, played well against the crap team, scored a good goal, went missing when it mattered.

Heard Hargreaves could go out on loan.

Lucky Preston!

Never said he didn't.

It was tongue in cheek mate, thought you would have known that

[soggy biscuit]

LOLz @ being slagged off for 5 years by English football fans until he puts in a good performance against Portugal in WC2006 and then every fan now claims not to have slagged him off and instead uses the phrase 'great engine' constantly when talking about him.

[Terminal Boardom]

It took me some time to be convinced that he justified a place in the line up. His perfromances in the 2006 World Cup were the best he has put in and he looked a very good player.
