Ewell Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Worth taking a chance on? I really think he could be worth the gamble. http://www.youtube.com/user/owenhargreavescb#p/u
Asaint4ever Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Lol thought some one would post this! He always gonna play in the perm!
Crab Lungs Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 I'm not sure a £50,000pw ex-CL winning international midfielder would fancy skanking around in the Championship. And we probably wouldn't be able to afford him, either.
thorpie the sinner Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 A premier side like Villa will snap him up prob on a 1 year or pay as you play contract! Injury free, he would do a job in premier!
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Worth taking a chance on? I really think he could be worth the gamble. http://www.youtube.com/user/owenhargreavescb#p/uOh for fux sake!!!
Ewell Posted 6 July, 2011 Author Posted 6 July, 2011 He is without a club and must be pretty desperate to broadcast himself all over You Tube. Not many will take the gamble especially this early in pre season. I do not think he is as out of reach as people think. Yeah he would cost a fair bit and would be a big gamble but I think we could get him on a 15k a week deal with heavy incentives for appearances etc Nothing ventured, nothing gained and it would be a Statement of intent from our Board even if we offered him a trial or the opportunity to train and get fit with us and you never know like all of us he may well just fall in love with the place.
Crab Lungs Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 I'd love it to happen and I'd have loved us to take the Leicester route with a couple of marquee, big-name signings and 2-3 more established NPC competent players ,but it appears we're holding our cards very close to our chest... and besides, I'm not sure NA is one of marquee signings, which is a shame in some respects as they can sometimes galvanise a club (not an Edgar Davids-style type signing, though!) Besides, the chances of anyone falling in love with rubbish-strewn, chavtastic, dull, permanently grey surroundings of Southampton have to be remote.
Charlie Wayman Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Oh for fux sake!!! One cannot help but agree with you... Yawn!
the stain Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 He's not good enough for us. We are hopefully signing Karl Henry, a better option IMHO.
saints-cris Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Good ol' glassknees, he aint dropping down a division I dont think. IF he was fit, corrr he'd be good though.
Steel City Saint Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Unless I see him doing that with a copy of today's newspaper I won't believe that is current footage. Oh, and even if it is, it only proves he is fit for just under 20 seconds which isn't really a lot...although more than he has been in recent years!
Miltonaggro Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 This put me right off: http://www.youtube.com/user/owenhargreavescb#p/u/4/uH3m3hkr2dA
whizzpop Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 First Michael Owen, then Owen Hargreaves...who next from Japan world cup squad....Beckham, Heskey, Vassell?
woodsaint Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Well we were linked with vassell for a while aswell
Pugwash Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 First Michael Owen, then Owen Hargreaves...who next from Japan world cup squad....Beckham, Heskey, Vassell? Bridge?
saintscottofthenortham Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Worth taking a chance on? I really think he could be worth the gamble. http://www.youtube.com/user/owenhargreavescb#p/u And the Epic Fail Award goes to.... *drumroll here* EWELL!!!!!!
eharty9 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Unless I see him doing that with a copy of today's newspaper I won't believe that is current footage. Oh, and even if it is, it only proves he is fit for just under 20 seconds which isn't really a lot...although more than he has been in recent years! clearly you don't have a clue what components of fitness and training methods you need for football haha, rarely you'll run at full intensity without a break for longer than 20 - 30 seconds! but fair point he would be a very good signing!
SaintAndy14 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Good player, good attitude, too good for us! Plus wouldn't like us to blow big wages on one player who may limp off at any stage during pre-season friendlies. Just signed him on Football Manager though in the Prem and he's stayed fit all season, getting back into the England squad!
egg Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 The poor bloke is crocked. I would be stunned if he recovered but if he did he would be far too good for our level.
krissyboy31 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Oh for fux sake!!! +1. Even if we were an established Premier League team we'd have absolutely nicht chance of signing a player of his calibre.
Toomer Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 I think the best he will get is a pay as you play or a one year contract at best, I would take a punt on either of those if his wage demands were in the right ball park.
Right sider Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Idid wonder though if Bowyer might be worth a punt
egg Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Idid wonder though if Bowyer might be worth a punt Now that's a different matter. Someone like Bowyer would be the kind of experienced nasty b@stard that we need this season.
Toomer Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Now that's a different matter. Someone like Bowyer would be the kind of experienced nasty b@stard that we need this season. Some of our better sides over the years always had a player who was not scared to put his foot in.
toofarnorth Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 If he is fully fit he is a top four player. Therefore if he is not fully fit he's still a top 10 player.
Lighthouse Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 He's far too good for this level and I wouldn't take him anyway because of his injury record. No doubt some Premier League manager will ignore 3 years spent in the physio room and take a punt, but it wont be us.
Ekelund24 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Idid wonder though if Bowyer might be worth a punt I think he would be a great addition to the squad, since his "problems" he has knuckled down worked hard and not been in trouble since (I think) He is still in my opinion one of the best midfielders at timing runs into the box
John Boy Saint Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 We are not a chuffin retirement home for knackered & crocked players. We have had our days of buying players that have needed gluing back together in the hope that they might prove to be bargain.
sammysaint Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 saw this earlier actully thought the same, but cant see us ever being able to sign him his wages would be stupid.. i reckon he will sign for west ham or brum if he was to drop to the championship, but he is most likely to see him at some poor prem team like Wolves Wigan etc and build himself back into the England squad, good player on his day, better then Carrick and Barry IMO.
SuperSAINT Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 If there was ever a player Sven would target for Leicester, it's Hargreaves.
SaintAndy14 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Idid wonder though if Bowyer might be worth a punt No thanks - I like our team at the moment!
St Jim Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Worth taking a chance on? I really think he could be worth the gamble. http://www.youtube.com/user/owenhargreavescb#p/u Pointless thread......utterly pointless
saint-ross Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Our treatment room has had enough on its plate for the last 2-3 years! No thanks, end of!!
The9 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Surely Owen Hargreaves is never going to play more than 5 more matches in competitive football, spaced out over the next 10 years or so ? I have more faith in Stevo's knee than Hargreaves playing again.
theyin Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I can't believe my eyes TBH. A sales pitch for a Prem player on youtube, or that's what it seems to be, it beggers belief
