owen hargreaves... the new louis saha????

after it was confirmed that hargreaves would spend the remainder of the season i found myself asking- did utd pay £30 million for a player to keep the physios table warm in louis sahas absence??... 

it seems all too familiar, injury after injury, muscles that snap like elastic bands, bones that break like a ford cortina and knees that would make forrest gump proud!!

why must we always have one player that likes needles and first aid kits more than footballs and nets???

im curious!!
