wurmer Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I got the impression from what Sven said, that he was just responding to the question - not that it's something that has/is being actively pursued. I think the rest of the media have run with that, as a 'he's on his way here'..
John Matrix Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I got the impression from what Sven said, that he was just responding to the question - not that it's something that has/is being actively pursued. I think the rest of the media have run with that, as a 'he's on his way here'.. id imagine that was his intention to have them do the running for him. if owen and his agent get in contact good. if they don't sven can decide whether he wants to step the pursuit up or leave it. it also makes anyone else who might be interested show their hand
messerschmitt Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I like the bit when Sven says, “I saw his videos and if he wants to come here I will open the door and stand and wait for him". That's because he is aware that Owen Hargreaves could quite easily get an injury opening it himself.

Monk Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Didn't Martin Allen sign Kaebi off You Tube videos? It's a sure sign of success!
artursteppe Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I have heard that sources inside the club, LCFC employees, were this morning quite excited at the prospect Of Owen Hargreaves being at the 'King Power' today. However over the last 24 hours every manager and his dog seems to be thinking about him, so who knows. Does not mean we won't get him, but Sven may have been on this days ago.
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I'm not sure about this. No-one would argue that, if fully fit, Hargreaves would dominate this division and would be an epic signing. If fully fit. The question is - will he ever be fully fit again? There was a good article about this on F365 earlier this week. Man Utd are regarded as having one of the best medical teams in the game (see the way they got Valencia back so quickly from a broken leg), and they are still crying out out for a classy centre-mid who can pressurise opposition midfields. If there was even a chance that Hargreaves would get back to full fitness anytime soon, then Man Utd wouldn't have released him. Even if he would only be fit for 15-20 games, they would have given him another year (after all they renewed Michael Owen's contract and he hardly plays). So Man Utd know something that maybe we don't, and it's probable that word has got out. Otherwise, if there was a chance of him reaching his past level, then he would have offers from several Champions League clubs by now. I know people are saying sign him on a 'pay-as-you-play' deal, but in reality deals of this type are rare, certainly for the top players. Hargreaves' definition of 'pay-as-you-play' would probably still involve a guaranteed £15k-£20k per week, plus the same again per appearance. Don't get me wrong, Sven isn't stupid and neither are the board, they will demand extensive medical checks before committing to anything. But i'd be very surprised if he passed a medical, and even if he did, it would be a matter of time before he broke down again. Sadly, I think Hargreaves is finished. Ahem !!!! Well..........errrr.......thats that then !!!!!!!!
Petchy Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Didn't Martin Allen sign Kaebi off You Tube videos? It's a sure sign of success! Incomparable.

Is that the physios who are getting excited about the amount of overtime they will be paid?
sdb Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I'm taking a camera to the gym tomorrow morning. My dream of playing for Leicester will finally come true!
MikeyT Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Didn't Martin Allen sign Kaebi off You Tube videos? It's a sure sign of success! Yeah but no one had ever heard of him, whereas everyone in the football world knows who Hargreaves is and the ability he has. Fully fit, i'd expect him to be incredible in this league.
I am Rod Hull Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Yeah but no one had ever heard of him, whereas everyone in the football world knows who Hargreaves is and the ability he has. Fully fit, i'd expect him to be incredible in this league. Indeed.. Its not like Hargreaves is an unknown..
Wycombe Fox Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 1430: BREAKING FOOTBALL - Sven-Goran Eriksson tells BBC Sport he is keen to speak to former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves about a possible move to Leicester, but cannot get hold of him. Answer the feckin' phone!!!

Fully fit, i'd expect him to be incredible in this league. Because the only players at World Cups are European or South American... He was no more unknown than Yuki was this time last season.

LRI ???? : Those YouTube videos were filmed in Vancouver. Maybe he's still there?
sdb Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 He's desperate for a club yet ignoring our calls. Anyone else thinking he's got ideas above his station? Sorry Owen but you aint gonna walk straight back into a top 4 team sunshine.
Corky Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Although he would offer a lot when fit, how often would this be? Too much of a risk.
MikeyT Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Because the only players at World Cups are European or South American... He was no more unknown than Yuki was this time last season. Where did i say that?
