Should Hargreaves Have Stayed at Bayern?

Also, the surgeon on Owen's knee says his knee can withstand the impact of jumping off the Eiffel Tower.

Not sure it would have made a difference tbh and

I don't think it would have made much difference, some players are just really injury prone and unfortunately Hergreaves is one of them.

he never would've got england NT time. They dont usually take players from other leagues

He got most of his caps during his time at Bayern.

It's more that far fewer English players go abroad than other countries.

07/08 made it worthwhile.

He was England player of the year when he was still at Bayern.

And we don't usually pick players from foreign leagues because the only one nearly good enough to be in the squad is Beckham.

And Hargreaves should have stayed at Bayern? What difference would it have made?

Manchester United
Premier League (1): 2007–08
UEFA Champions League (1): 2007–08

He wouldn't have that.

He would've led Bayern Munich to victory against Inter

Bayern Munich
Bundesliga (2): 2007/8, 2009/10
DFB-Super Cup (1) 2010
DFB-Pokal (2) 2008, 2010
Champions League runner up (1) 2009/10

He'd have been injured for all of that though.. so..

Look at that, CL runner up.

Bayern would have won if Mourinho wasn't such a pussy.

We could have 5 CL titles if Barca weren't so fucking good. What's your point?

Yeah but he was also injured during your successes. Using the law of averages, they achieved more in the same time frame so hence he is more likely to have played a part in winning stuff at Bayern.

Barcelona deserve to win it because they're a good team.

Inter didn't deserve to win it because they cheated their way to the final and once they was at the final they just sat in defence all game.

Sounds like being a pussy was a pretty smart thing to do.

Bayern achieved more in the time Hargreaves was a United player?

Hargreaves could have had 3 Premier Leagues, 3 Champions League, 2 Carling Cups, 1 Club World Cup...

It probably was but any club/manager can buy a super team and stick them all in defence.

Bayern actually played football that's why they should have won it.

Ermm didn't you only win one Champions League?

By that logic he could have had 7 Bundesliga titles if Bayern hadn't been beaten on a few occasions.

Yeah.

The fuck did I say 3 CLs?

Even so, we've won more since 07/08 than Bayern.

Erm, he was pretty key in our 07/08 success, and in 07/08 he was fit, apart from that he was often out, in 07/08 we won the Champions League and Premier League double.

If anyone can do it, and it is such an easy way to win, then why doesn't everyone do it?

Bayern also secured a league and FA cup double that season. Who knows, with Hargreaves they could have won additional trophies as well.

With Hargreaves they also could have not won the league and Cup, I can talk about things that actually happened, we won the league 08/09 but Hargreaves played 2 league games so it means fuck all.

Not many teams have got the resources Inter have.

Also Inter got really luck against Barca, a game which they should have lost.

Retarded logic. I hate how people say parking the bus infront of goal is not football.

Football is a game played by 22 men with a ball. There is no set way to play it, You have an aim and you play any sort of way to achieve in as long as it is within the rules of the game. Playing defensive football is not against the rules so therefore they are playing football unless you think teams shouldn't be allowed to defend?

We could have as well...
