Owen Hargreaves

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14069395.stm

I hadn't heard of this until now, but we are linked to Owen Hargreaves. I know the guy has been injured for 2 years and is now posting videos on youtube to show he is fit. Obviously he is prepared to take a major wage cut to get back playing.

I would like to see us take him on trial if the interest is there and at least give him a chance to prove his fitness and then if he is fit, give him a 6 month contract with the option for us to extend it for a further year. Anyway what do you think is it worth the risk?

surely someone not on 30k a week can keep the physios occupied?

Surely worth a punt? 1year contract with the option to extend.

IMO the prospect of CL/Europa League football might appeal to him, even if it is just to advertise himself to European clubs.

TF, surely thats not something to brag about? Earlier on guys were posting that he wouldn't make it amongst the hammerthrowers in SPL - I took that as being the teams outwith the Old Firm but if you want to be lumped in that category with your captain marvel then so be it.

When I watched the videos on Youtube I thought he looks fit enough and I was wondering why we didn't go in for him. It's def worth a year contract built with a small basic and bigger bonus on pay per play basis.

As for someone saying he wouldn't take a pay cut. Listen if the guy is posting vids on Youtube and hasn't played properly in ages. He will take a paycut no doubt.

I hope this is true I just hope Eriksson doesn't get in there first. We have CL to play in and hopefully that MAY swing it. On the other hand he knows Eriksson and Leisceter have a bit of cash.

The guy was quality when fit before and it's worth a gamble.

you would think he'd take a pay but to join but then again you'd expect footballers to choose the champions league over the championship.

Quality player, Prodanesque liability though.

An that hair...

Yep we know he is a 'Prodanesque liability', hence why EVERY club will offer him a pay as you play contract.

read somewhere that he played 6 minutes of fitba last season?

Tragic waste of talent, must do his head in watching old guys like Scholes and Giggs gamboling about like lambs.
