Manchester United Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 11/12

Blatter

Fans wishing a player well that could move directly from us to our bitter and most competitive rivals.

Sorry, but that's not football. That's just being PC and looking for a few thanks for being classy.

Obviously it's an opportunity that Hargreaves would find difficult to turn down, so it's difficult to criticise him much for that. But we should wish him well? F*ck off.

Theres a huge difference between not wishing him well and wishing for him never to play again etc. Its nothing to do with being PC.

And he isnt moving from us to a bitter rival. Hes a free agent and that was Utds choice not his. Really you need to cop on. I`m sure you`ll read back in a few days and cringe at your posts.

Nah you're being childish tbh.

This happens a lot when people forget that a soccer player is just some guy, with a life to think about.

He quite rightly couldn't give a bollocks what you or I think, he's had three years of an absolutely horrible life, and sees something finally going his way.

I'd take it in a shot and fuck the begrudgers.

Fuhrer

How funny would it be that if City signed a massively injury prone player it would be their most financially prudent decision in years.

Bodhisopha

You've let yourself down here Blatter.


*shakes head*

I was already in a bad mood, and this has driven me over the edge. Apologies, I'll have cooled down in a couple of hours.

Nope he's useless.

No way will I wish Hargreaves well at Man City. I hope he is an utter failure for them just as I hope every other player they sign or already have on their books is an utter failure.

City are a rival, I wish none of their players well.

RasTa

Hargreaves is the only player I would wish well at City if this turns out to be true, the only!

I'm not looking for thanks, i'm being fcuking genuine and not some kid in the school play ground. So what if he signs for City, no one knows how well its going to turn out or he will be successful. He may pass a medical but he may not get back to playing regular football at a decent level.

If he is fit and does go on to play regular football for City without injurie then i'd want to know why Manutd wasted so much time, effort and resources getting him fit and letting him leave without giving him a chance for 6 months or a year. I'd say his confidence was shot to pieces once he was told he wasn't wanted at Manutd. They let him go on a free, tough.

I hope he wins sweet fcuk all with City but it would be great to see him playing week in week again and proving so many wrong, if thats City, good luck.

Hargreaves the snakey c*n*. The club stood by him for years tryin to get him back playin and payin his wages every week and then he goes and does this. Wish him well playin for that lot? I hope vidic snaps his otha knee into pieces wen we play them.

Best of luck to him, he has family and himself to think of and was loyal enough to offer to play for free, I wish him well whatever he does.

keane2097

Lot of ugly, ugly shit in this thread.

I'll come back tomorrow, try to have a bit of humanity folks, a lot of you are disgracing yourselves up in here.

Was gonna get up on my high horse when i seen the "injury post" but it then brought back memories of Roys tackle on Alf... Everyone's entitled to a bit of "red" mist now and again, well up on apology!

Mr_Roger_Bongos

I think it's just going to make things tougher on him.

Imagine having to watch Manchester United lift all the trophies while his best chance is at a runners up medal!

RasTa

Although if he wants to play football then City is probably the worst move possible given their squad.

Iago

I can't believe I'm having to post this.

Anybody else decides to post wishing an injury on a player in this thread will be taking a break from the forum, show at least a little class please.

truth be told..i never really rated him anyway

Why? Why the hell would I want any City player to do well? City players doing well can directly affect 1. United winning trophies and 2. City winning trophies. Why would I want their signings and players to do well? Really? I don't get it at all. I don't want Torres to do well at Chelsea, or Mata, or Terry, or Lampard etc. I don't want Suarez or Carrol or Downing (etc) to do well at Liverpool. Why should I treat hargreaves any different at this point. He clearly doesn't give a sh1t about the United fans that supported him while he did jack sh1t for the club, so why should I wish him well? I don't want his legs to fall off or anything but I hope this move is an utter failure for him.

OctavarIan

It's one thing to wish failure upon a player and quite another to wish broken legs upon him.

Disgusting attitudes in here and total monkey-brained comments.

This would be the reason I'd be most disappointed if he went to City over. Hell, I think they're already struggling to trim their squad to 25 so if he was to sign for them and then not make that 25, it would look really bad, imo.

Do you like an irish players doing well at competing clubs?

MagicMarker

Hopefully it's just a year long contract and he can come back to UTD on a free once he's proved his fitness.

Eh he offered to play for the club for free, club said no. Why wouldn't he join City, Liverpool or anyone that wanted him?

Why are people not getting this?

VW 1

Dont know what to think to be honest..

When I heard he was possibly signing for WBA I was truly made up for the lad.

Then that interview when he offered to play for free and I was confused as to why we didnt give him a chance to prove his fitness as by all accounts it wasn't his knees that were the problem after the dislocated shoulder.

Obviously I want to see him play and do well but I am more annoyed at United for not giving him the chance he worked so hard to earn.

If he turns out to be a good signing for City I will be sick, but I do want to see him do well because he seems like a great guy and without the injuries I think he would have gone on to become a true legend for us.

In fairness he played a part in 2007/08 when Manutd won the League and Champions league against Chelsea, all be it a small part but he was still apart of the squad that season, like many other players.

I pre-empt Hargreaves statement at the end of the season .....



"Owen Hargreaves on winning the Premier League with Manchester City - "If you can't beat them join them."


Sorry Flah .;)

Mitch Connor

syngindub wrote: »

There are none.

If Hargreaves signed for West Brom, or Villa, or Everton, I would wish him well. But he signed for a club where the goal and expectation is beat United to trophies. He has signed for a direct rival and as such, like all players for our direct rivals (and ESPECIALLY City) I hope he fails miserably.

If James McCarthy signed for City, I would hope the move bombed massively for him.

If they play for a rival, I don't want to see them doing well.

Statement only works if Manchester United had been complete and utter abject failures like Liverpool have been for the last 20 years. He's beaten City plenty of times.

He did - and has done nothing since then. He was supported all through the last two seasons, of which he played 4 minutes. He has repaid that support by signing for possibly the worst side he could sign for - which to me shows he doesn't care at all about the United fans, so why the hell should we be brow beaten into 'wishing him well'? He clearly can't wish United (and by extention the fans of United) well as his new team is competing directly against us,

If this was 3 seasons ago and city weren't a threat to us would you wish him well Mitch ?

I guess winning the champions league doesn't count.

Granted by Uniteds standards Pool have hardly been successful the last 20 years but pretty much no club has been...

anyway this is very similar to the Owen situation. It always hurts when a player you care about joins a rival. And a lot of utd fans have been pulling for Hargreaves to come through his injuries for a long time. If he does it at city it will be a bitter pill no doubt.

Still he's a professional and owes it to himself to make the best decision for himself.

Ive made no comment on Hargreaves at all, dont care. I was commenting on your pathetic attempt to wind people up and how it should be embarrassing for you.

But I guess you need a level of self awareness to feel shame

billo.d86

He was a vital part of united's team in 2007/2008 season ending in the League and Europena Cup, which was a great season, midfield was more or less driven by him.

Unfortunately he has been injured more or less constantly since.

Sorry to see him, sickened if he joins City and wins things, nothing against the man, hate Citeh!!

He can do whatever he wants.

However, by joining City he is clearly showing he has no loyalty or respect for Man United fans, so why in the name of god should I show any loyalty or respect for him?

He could have joined a number of other clubs which would not have shown near as much disrespect and where he was a damned site more likely to actually play.

I will not wish him well, I hope this move is an utter failure for him.

G.K.

Why should he show loyalty if the club didn't give him a new contract and wouldn't even let him stay for free?

That's not my viewpoint but it begs asking.

Delboy5

Too many pages devoted to this Hargreaves story.........hes not a United player anymore, who cares where he is, we've a better younger healthier squad without him, move on.............

Yes, I would consider not winning the league for 20 years to be abject failure Most would for any club that considers themselves a "big" team.

Now thats Irony .
