I'm a bit sceptical about Hargreaves' utility myself after such a long injury period but having had a look at the red cafe thread there are some fairly bizarre posters.

Hargreaves is apparently disrespecting utd although he clearly wanted to carry on and play for nothing or very little, whereas Rooney is a legend although he effectively held them to ransom with a threat to leave for us and saying they lacked ambition.

Fact is that at this level it is business decisions and Utd don't think Hargreaves is good enough anymore, hope they are wrong but Ferguson is not a fool.

Bebe, Obertan, Taibi, Pique, Rossi, Bellion etc

Everyone gets a few signings wrong he gets the majority right. Fair enough about Pique and Rossi but I don't recall to many English players he has let go for nothing/ very little who have subsequently shown themselves top 4 quality. I agree he doesn't get everything right though.

He does get a fair amount right but he gets lots wrong too, sometimes he also makes poor decisions based on personal dislike eg seeling Stam at his peak. As tough as Mancini is, I think if say Kompany said something a bit out of line Mancini wouldn't get pissed off and look to sell him at the first opportunity. Not too sure about your point about English players, what difference does nationality make when determining wisdom in the transfer market?
 
Just said on SSN, although only quickly, that its expected that Hargreaves will be unveiled later today
 
Having flicked through a few pages on redcafe, I'm shocked at how stupid some of them are. They all think he owes them something and should stay unemployed rather than sign for us. They also think he's coming for the money, the figure of 150k is quoted a lot by them. Having offered to play for free I'm sure he cares not for the money. And also the fact that he's clearly only going to get a pay as you play contract, we're not going to be throwing stupid money at him. Why would we? It seems we're the only club other than WBA in for him, we hardly need huge wages to be the better offer of the two, no offence to WBA of course. Another poster says how bitter we are by signing him, he obviously doesn't understand the irony of a 15 page thread of them all calling him a ****. And we're bitter? Wow. There are a few sensible guys on there trying to talk sense into the other idiots but it seems they're largely outnumbered. The main point seems to be that they think City are actually doing it just to get one over on them. How stupid are they? Do they actually think that us, as a club are so obsessed with them that we'd sign a player they've released just to annoy them? And why should it annoy them, they released him. They don't seem to understand this, he is currently unemployed, he has no loyalty to United. Yeah they paid all his medical bills and saw out his contract, but they had to, and it was their decision. They all wanted him out, now we want him it's a whole new story. This is the most bitter I've ever seen them.
