Read somewhere that the figure was £13m. Good player but the fee proves that the market is still as mad as ever. If I was a manager I'd say he was worth half that at best.
You musn't have seen him play that much so.Quote:

hes a very good player just has a rele bad reputation coz very few ppl actually see him play...then he gets 20 mins for england off the bench...plays bad nd evryone says hes s**t!
nonetheless does that make him worth £13m? Petrov currently going for £6-£7m from Celtic. Heskey went for a similar value?????
I think the point is valid - transfer market is bonkers!!
Yes players are totally over priced, one reason for that - Chelsea !
Yeah, but as one paper pointed out (Can't remember which one exactly). They're paying for the man aswell as the player.
The way he carried himself while being treated like sh!t by his own country. If you read his comments at the height (or trough) of his hatred, they were quality. He more or less shrugged them off with indiference and listed off his vast medal collection. He then had the strength of charachter to turn it around with some industrious, if unspectacular performances.
He's also spent his entire career at one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He's vast experience of champions league football.
All these factors ensure that he's not gonna be a flop in Old Trafford. He may not be the new Keano or Robson. But it's a safe bet he's not gonna be a Neill Webb or Seba Veron.
Bayern about to sign van Bommell. They deny that it is to replace Hargreaves but I reckon they are holding out until the deadline to get as much money out of Man Utd as they can.
The bloke must be absolutely bonkers if he thinks leaving Bayern will better his career. He can either win the league title every year where he is, or be a nobody playing for a club in terminal decline, that even Michael Ballack and Arjen Robben turned down.
If it were you, who would you choose? It's a no-brainer to me.
One gud game in the world cup nd he`s worth 13m, carrick went for mad money to, english players are over priced and overated, u`d think fergie wud wise up.
He's been performing at a consistently high standard for Bayern Munich since 2001.Quote:

I think the Hargreaves saga is probably over... maybe time to close the thread... we'll know for sure tomorrow.
United apparently in for the Argentinian Maschereno of Corinthians....
until ALLEGEDLY chelsea heard, and decided to do a deal with his marketing company and west ham and send him to upton park for the year on loan, before deciding if he is good enough for the chelsea reserves.. or so the rumour goesQuote:
