VectisSaint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Would he have a German agent?? 7 seasons with Bayern, why would he not have a German agent?
EBS1980 Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Hargreaves would be great IMO. He and Davis would add the much needed experience in midfield, but we wouldn't be relying on him being fit all the time. How much of last season did he miss due to injury rather than city just not picking him?
Nexstar Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 I think Hargreaves would be a great signing. Pay as you play, can't grumble at that.
manji Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 How much of last season did he miss due to injury rather than city just not picking him? They just didnt pick him. Only played 4 games.
Thedelldays Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 I remember the heady days of being seriously linked to Chris Bart-Williams I like the new saints
manji Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 oh dear if true He passed a full on medical and psyche evaluation this time last year for Man City. Did not play very often in a very strong squad. Not good enough for us ? Really ?
DrunkenSaint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 He passed a full on medical and psyche evaluation this time last year for Man City. Did not play very often in a very strong squad. Not good enough for us ? Really ? No not really, he's not played all that much in what 4-5 seasons and im sure last season he came on then got injured so had to be subbed, was early in the season then i never saw his name in the paper as a starter or a sub even in cup matches. If he was fully fit and played like he did before he went to Man Utd yes he would be a great player but being out for so long and with his injury proneness it'll be a waste of a named player spot.
aintforever Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Could be a decent signing as long as he's fit and motivated. We could do with some Prem experience.
sotonjoe Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Hargreaves could be a major coup provided his fitness battles are behind him.
The Kraken Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Hargreaves could be a major coup provided his fitness battles are behind him. That's a huge "provided" right there.
S-Clarke Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 The problem with Hargreaves is that he won't stay fit, it's not possible. He's knees are totally shot, I'm surprised he hasn't retired if I'm honest. If it's pay as you play, no harm at all, but don't expect many games from him if he does sign.
SO16_Saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Anyone who thinks a fit Hargreaves isn't a good addition to the squad, is crazy IMO.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Hargreaves would be great experience to have in the dressing room on PAYP deal. And yes, I think he is good enough - he could be our Prem version of Connolly?
S-Clarke Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Anyone who thinks a fit Hargreaves isn't a good addition to the squad, is crazy IMO. Absolutely, the key word being fit though, of which he hasn't been for the last 3 years.
SO16_Saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Absolutely, the key word being fit though, of which he hasn't been for the last 3 years. Agree completely....as someone mentioned, PAYP deal would be ideal
dubai_phil Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Oh wow this is exactly what we need. After all, Connolly is likely to move on this summer and we need someone to keep the Physio's in shape. (But seriously? Pay as he plays? Oh yes thank you very much. The experienced pro we will need around the place)
Greenridge Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Agree completely....as someone mentioned, PAYP deal would be ideal He'd be taking up one of the spots in the limited Prem squad size allowed though so if he's not fit then PAYP doesn't seem quite attractive as it once did.
RedArmy Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Probably someone seeing the Range Rover with a German plate parked outside SMS, doubling 2 and getting 5.
pingwing Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Oh wow this is exactly what we need. After all, Connolly is likely to move on this summer and we need someone to keep the Physio's in shape. DC was released a few weeks ago Don't there's much point in Hargreaves, too much effort for someone who isn't really in keeping with new saints singings (plus we have Steven Davis for the midfield anyway). Hope the German agent is Rene Adler as the next big thing in goal
pingwing Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Ooops missed the twitter rumour stand by with waste of time signing, our reserves team don't need a captain and our physio might get really into interior decorating to make his work space a place people want to be...
GAS Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Or he could be Austrian representing a French player.......who knows Or Swiss representing an Austrian player. Oh no.
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 Is the Carsten Jancker deal finally going through ?
Maggie May Posted 10 July, 2012 Posted 10 July, 2012 The Twitter poster is mistaken. We've signed a sponsorship deal with Hargroves Cycles on the Millbrook Road service road. I was hoping we'd pull of a coup by teaming with March Sports, but I'm content.
HK_Phoey Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Don't know the ins and outs of the home grown rule but based on the definition quoted on here, wouldn't Hargreaves also by the quirk of the fact he came through Bayern Munich's youth system, be deemed non homegrown
Special K Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 I thought he was going into coaching? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2163419/Owen-Hargreaves-fast-tracked-Englands-system.html
martel Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Was it William Joyce by any chance? Someone knows their WW11 history!
This Charming Man Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Hargreaves would be a terrible signing. Plagued by injuries throughout his entire career. All when and good saying worth a gamble on a PAYP deal but we're only allowed to register 25 players, one of those spaces would be wasted on him.
Plonko Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 ****z Edit:I cannot believe the swear filter has removed the name of a footballer.
PhilippineSaint Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 ****z Edit:I cannot believe the swear filter has removed the name of a footballer. Well you try puttin Scun thorpe in then
LostBoys Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Probably someone seeing the Range Rover with a German plate parked outside SMS, doubling 2 and getting 5. A strong a rumour as someone seeing a german plated car in the car park. There was a Spain plate a couple of weeks ago so it must be a Barcelona or Real Madrid player. Oh the car I saw was a small Seat so it might not be a Barcelona or Real Madrid player

Oh the car I saw was a small Seat so it might not be a Barcelona or Real Madrid player I imagine the seats in Messi's car are pretty small. Maybe with a cushion on to help him see over the steering wheel.
Highfield Saint Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Someone knows their WW11 history! I missed the last 9 of those
This Charming Man Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 I missed the last 9 of those 5 of them occurred on here.
david in sweden Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 They knew the Buttner deal was in trouble, so they are trying to sell us a German left sided player instead. However, it turned out to be an dodgy agent, and the player in question was in actual fact Prutton dressed as Lahm. ......here all week etc etc thats sounds like BAAAAAAAAAD news to me !
david in sweden Posted 11 July, 2012 Posted 11 July, 2012 Someone knows their WW11 history! very funny ...HAW, HAW !
david in sweden Posted 12 July, 2012 Posted 12 July, 2012 Or Swiss representing an Austrian player. Oh no. .or a German agent representing a Polish player ...have we had that possibility yet ?

All when and good saying worth a gamble on a PAYP deal but we're only allowed to register 25 players, one of those spaces would be wasted on him. who knows what managers do .. Lawrie Mac signed Charlie George with a dodgy knee, and 'appy 'arry brought his son Jamie on for 30 mins. every game.....both cost us an arm and a leg at the time but neither of them proved able to get over their injury problems.
labibs Posted 12 July, 2012 Posted 12 July, 2012 I don't think we will sign Hargreaves as he is very much not in keeping with the kind of players we look to be signing (young players who can improve [and yes, are 'hungry']) but if there was a manager who I was confident could help a player overcome any injury problem they might have, it would be Adkins.

TBF we have signed two players so far and only one is young who can improve.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 July, 2012 Posted 12 July, 2012 who knows what managers do ..

I loved watching Charlie George when I was a nipper. Could still play a bit as I remember. How much would Charlie George in his prime be worth these days? Also remember things got worse for him than just dodgy knees. Didn't he take his finger off with a lawnmower?
batterseasaint Posted 12 July, 2012 Posted 12 July, 2012 TBF we have signed two players so far and only one is young who can improve. I suspect our transfer policy is designed more to stop bad investments than to only buy players who can improve. Nothing wrong with employing someone who is right at the top of their game, as long as we aren't making a massive investment which will depreciate very quickly. Davies is 27 so unlikely that we would get a big fee for him in the future. But that's ok, because we've paid nothing for him. I'm sure our transfer policy would be more bothered if we had spent money on him.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 July, 2012 Posted 12 July, 2012 On searching for Charlie George's unfortunate loss of finger injury, I found this related story which I thought you guys would appreciate: Sunday December 5th 2004. Playing in the Swiss league, Servette midfielder Paulo Diogo scored against Schaffhausen, then jumped into the crowd to celebrate. On the way, he managed to catch his wedding ring on a fence and tore off the top half of his finger. He was booked for excessive celebration.
