I'm not aware that I've said anything of the sort?

Incidently regarding Park, consider that he was out injured until he appeared against Sunderland on the 26th December 2007, half the season. Since when he's made 14 starts, nearly half the amount of games United have played since. Clearly he is someone considered good enough to be a regular first teamer, and I agree, he's a cracking little player. Compare to Fletchers 11 starts, missing a mere month of the season to injury

I think the most ominous thing for Fletcher is that hargreaves only made 22 starts in all competitions this season. If he gets himself fit for the majority of next season, that statistic will rise markedly. And I think it's a fairly safe bet to suggest they won't feature in the same team often (indeed, they started together twice this season, once both in the same midfield in defeat away at West Ham; once with Hargreaves filling in at right back at home to Bolton, a position he won't normally play with a fit Neville and Brown)
