Training Today 8.9.11

[TCIB]

Really surprised Owen Hargreaves got involved in full training straight away after being led to believe by the rag loving meedja he was fucked. Ah well

Baconface will be bullwhipping his medical staff whilst necking a bottle of glenmorangie and telling his wife on speaker phone that she better have dinner ready or the only kiss she will be getting is of the Glasgow variety.

A brace will do this weekend Owen mate, cheers.

I think that was ironic!

Am getting more and more bullish on Hargreaves. When he signed I didn't think there was much chance he would get back fit, never mind back to his former levels, but the more I see and hear the higher I think the chances are.

Doubt he will ever be capable of playing at a high level with the frequency he used to (ie starting most matches) but I think the chances of him making a very significant positive contribution this year are 40%+...it all looks to be moving in the right direction. Obviously we shouldn't get too overboard but this signing really could be a cracker.

Any sight of Wayne Bench today? sorry i mean bridge.

Being in full training means little in terms of match fitness, it just means he's not currently injured.

Michael Johnson was in full training on many occasions last season.

Key thing is can/will he be in full training on a daily basis.

You're right he needs some games with the EDS. There's nothing like match practice for seeing if your body is ready for the PL :-)

Great reports from NMT and DH many thanks, so if Barry and NDJ not available and with Hargreaves just fitting in suspect he could make his debut with Yaya in the middle, although I suspect that is too early and rely on Milner instead. Be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

 

[Juddaman83]

Don't think Hargreaves will be ready for the bench yet.

More likely Milner & Yaya, with Barry on bench if fit enough else Razak (remember Zab can fill the role as well as a sub, but depends on Richards)

 

[Rammy Blue]

I think Barry will make it for Sat.

I hope so and the Napoli game and the Fulham game.........................
