West Brom edge closer to Owen Hargreaves deal
West Brom boss Roy Hodgson has said the club are edging closer to bringing injury-plagued midfielder Owen Hargreaves to the Hawthorns.The 30-year-old attracted interest from Albion when his deal with Manchester United came to an end this summer.The Baggies held talks with Hargreaves after he passed a "minor medical" and are confident over his fitness."We believe he's capable of playing top-flight football again and we're very interested in him," said Hodgson. www.bbc.co.uk
Well theres no doubt he will be a cracking signing IF! and this is a massive IF, he manages to stay fit! Theres no doubt that Owen has the ability to be one of the best defensive midfielders in the game, the last 3-4 years he has just been extremely unfortunate with injuries. Hes even taken the step of posting videos of himself keeping fit on Youtube to prove that his injuries are in the past. I for one hope it works out for him, he always comes across as a decent chap and it would be great to see him having a good last few seasons in the game!
(this is Hagibest btw , IDK why it's not letting me post as hagibest...) Great article and this would be an unbelievable signing for the Baggies, like you said he's one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Only problem is he's been having a lot of injury and fitness issues in recent years and West Brom will have to hope this world class player will be able to use his skills to their fullest by being fit. I wouldn't mind seeing him leave United even though I like him and he's a great player but he's just not needed at the club right now... And he's Canadian, like me :D his father's English though so that's why he's played for England in the past
