Will Hargreaves be a Redblood?

Man Utd to clinch ?13M Hargreaves deal today
tribalfooball.com - August 16, 2006

Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves today.

The Sun says the England midfielder is set to be unveiled at Old Trafford after agreeing a dream ?13million move.

Hargreaves, 25, got his wish after revealing United manager Alex Ferguson had made him an offer he could not refuse.

And the Canadian-born star pleaded with his club to agree a deal and allow him to move to Old Trafford.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich insisted they did not want to lose Hargreaves and initially demanded ?17million while United only offered ?12m.

But once the player signalled his intentions to leave, the two clubs thrashed out a compromise figure.

Hargreaves is the defensive midfielder Fergie has been searching for.

The United boss switched his attentions to the England star after his World Cup heroics when Hargreaves was the only one of Sven Goran Eriksson's squad to emerge from the finals with any credit.

It's really not that tough - just repeat yourself endlessly and use loads of large type, colours and smileys.

Imagine a REALLY ANNOYING 5-year old and you'll get the idea.

Oi...!

that price is a joke

how much cost carrick? hargreaves ist 10 million plus to that pr ice of carrick

£28.6 million?

Go have a lie down.

Yeah but the price is halved 'cos he's desperate to get out Germany.

he will not leave munich, thats for sure, uli honess is not that stupid

1 hargreaves imho better than carrick
2 its a european transfer compared to an english transgfer = less money normally
3 utd over paid for carrick for a sizeable amount imho but had to cos spurs didn´t have to sell
4 13m is to little for hargreaves and would be a snip bayern should hold out for more, as with Ismael injury they may need dimichaelis at CB and then need hargreaves desperately and also given that ballack has left.

thats absolutely right, especially point 4

As stated elsewhere, it all depends how much Hargreaves wants to move. I would say that, given he's already gone to the papers about his desire to move, he wants to go.

On this basis, all he needs to do is go on strike. I can't see Bayern holding out TBH.

I bet N8 will love the that midfield

I'd be quite happy to send Silvestre in the other direction.

£10 million plus Silvestre for instance.

we dont need a player for the bench, in defence we are strong enough

We don't need to sell him. We don't need a paltry sum of £13 million.

Come back with £20 million and we may listen.

Hoeness will only sell if he has another player coming in.

Hargreaves has not handed in a transfer request and has recently signed a new contract until 2010.

If carrick is worth £18 million, Hargreaves is easily worth £25 million +

God you Germans moan about English ignorance:

I wonder if any of you have actually seen Carrick play. Hargreaves is certainly not worth 10million more, so obviously not...

I have seen carrick play for West Ham, Spurs and England. He's average. It was a panic buy after players like Riquelme, Ballack and Ribery said "no chance".

£18.6 million is what sane clubs spend on an established midfield star player, not on what he might become.

Hargreaves is proven on every level. Is 25 years of age and he is English.

£25m +

Ballack was the only player who said that & thats because we wouldn't offer him a long term contract and a huge salary.

Carrick = average is bollocks.

isar1 imho hargreaves a lot better than carrick but the big factor your missing is the transfer wouldn´t be between 2 english clubs which always inflates the price, eg 4m quid for mcsheffrey yesterday between 2 championship clubs says it all

Well Man Utd had no problem over-inflating the price of RvN when we wanted to sign him.

A taste of their own medicine is what's needed.

My guess is they will not get Hargreaves and then spend £50 million of Jenas.

Carrick = average, has proven nothing...yet!

Players from lesser leagues dont cost as much as top flight to top flight transfers.

You dont see prem teams buying players off championship sides for 18mil no matter how good they are do you. Bundesleague is about a similar level isnt it?

£2mil max for Hargreaves.

good try steveo

hahaha funny


what about Kuyt, he joined liverpool for 10 million pounds, from the dutch league, i think that must be third division in england from the quality


and for Hargreaves only 13 , that must be a good joke

Kuyt showed nothing on internatiol level, not like hargreaves

But we like the Dutch so we dont mind giving them loads of cash for their players.

We are paying Bayern their ransom for Hargreaves and we don't negotiate with terrorists!

And strikers>defensive midfielders in the transfer market.

I am prepared to bet one shiny virtual pound that the transfer goes through for <£14m.

Hargreaves is a top player but the Bundesliga is a second rate league so the price will be lower - IMO £13m is about right.
