khay 8 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Manchester United have confirmed that England midfielder Owen Hargreaves will join them from Bayern Munich on 1 July. United have not yet disclosed the fee but it is believed to be in the region of £17m. Hargreaves has agreed personal terms and passed a medical so now he only has to officially put pen to paper on what is expected to be a five-year deal. The 26-year-old is set to do that when he returns from a family holiday in his native Canada at the end of June. From bbc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That's a fair bit of cash Man Utd are dishing out at the mo, about £30m for the two lads they bought yesterday, another £17m for Hargreaves and I reckon they'll still need to buy a new striker as well.

Yup, the have been linked with Klass Jan Huntelaar. Would not be shocked if they spent another 12 million on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliver 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 They must be selling a few players soon as well. Can't see Richardson staying and if they do buy a new striker they might let either Saha or Smith go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the criteria of "earning it" then: (we can go into why ManUre [oh no! ] have financial might if you wish - but if it was built on success then the likes of Liverpool should be miles ahead) Ah, I see you used "Chelski" so you've proven your IQ is single figures anyway Hehe, did it take you more than 5 second to think that one up?

Guest alex Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think PL just meant they can't really accuse other teams of buying success when Man Utd. are doing the same. They always have though really. Despite having a class youth set-up, they got very lucky to have so many young players come through at once all those years ago with Beckham, the Nevilles et al (and even the likes of Savage who made it elsewhere). They do generate their own wealth though, unlike Chelsea. It's difficult to think of a club/set of fans who deserve their success less than Chelsea tbh (or more than Man Utd for that matter). And I hate the pair of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't, but then neither have Man U, they didn't get an Abramovich as such, but the difference isn't that great. In fact if you're talking about financial might then this may be the first season in many, many years where Man U "earned" their title (although arguably it still had more to do with injuries really).
