He does seem to be a bit injury prone though, which is worrying, but hopefully that`s something he can shake off. Scholes probably has a couple of years left and should Veloso come, then it will most likely be Darren who gets sold.
That's a fair point. I just feel that we could probably recoup the majority of Hargreaves' transfer fee at this point. If he continues along the injury blighted path that has been walked by Saha, his transfer value will be decimated.

I simply feel that the fighting qualities the midfield had lacked are epitomised by Anderson, a player several years younger than Hargreaves.

I understand that questioning his status in the squad a few months in might seem a tad over the top, however i don't see anything in his game that hasn't been offered by our little Brazilian. Thus, in my opinion, making him an expensive luxury as opposed to an integral squad member.
