afcking, you're within a hair's breadth of being banned.

Now, for the rest of us, let's get back on topic.

I hope Wenger isn't in for him now and quite frankly I don't understand why he ever was.

Carrick is a good passer but that's hardly what we're looking for in that holding role. I'd rather have Owen Hargreaves tbh.

Not a player that excites me at all.

God no. Owen Hargreaves has gone from being the most under-rated England player to suddenly being the most over-rated, purely based upon one performance against Portugal.

Decent player, and although I don't want either, I'd much rather have Carrick. But then, if it's a choice between Carrick and nobody (and that's how Wenger's transfers seem to work these days), I'd take Carrick.

Actually if you had watched Hargreaves for Bayern over the years he has been much better than Carrick. The staff in Munich have all said Hargreaves is the best defensive midfielder they've worked with. Bayern is still two levels up from Sp**s don't you think?

I don't want Hargreaves either, don't get me wrong, but he is better than Carrick, and if Carrick played for Bayern and Hargreaves for Tottenham the English would recognize that.

If Hargreaves is the best defensive midfielder at Bayern, why has Demichelis been ahead of him for so long?

I have watched Hargreaves for Bayern - that's why I say he was, previously, under-rated. But the Bundesliga is also a significant step down from the Premier League, and that has to be taken into account - Hargreaves, for me, is a decent player but not good enough for a club like Arsenal, much like Carric.

Don't know, they also don't rate Jens over there :wink:
Demichelis is better than Hargreaves, simple as. Point is the man is highly rated at one of the top clubs in Europe.

That is 100% correct.

I want Javier :(

LOL

Owen Hargreaves has always been good. I am so glad he showed his true colours. I would love to see him in an Arsenal shirt. He is a very good player. Just ****s in this country never gave him time to show himself.

I would love it if we sign him.

well i'm not sure about signing carrick, at least i would never be happy if arsenal gives any money to tottenham, also don't want any former Sp**s players in my arsenal squad - so i'd rather take hargreaves or frings - who has really impressed me all over the last season

For me Hargreaves is the best option, Hargreaves really impressed me with his performances in the world cup. He was under a lot of pressure as people didn't have faith in him before the tournement, but he was able to forget all that and play his game.

Hargreaves impressed you in the World Cup? If so, it really doesn't take much - he looked very mediocre (out of position) at right-back, and had one average and one exceptional game in the middle of the park.

He did ok, and better than most thought he would, but the people who're talking about him as England's player of the tournament are nothing less than short-sighted buffoons, to be frank.

Hargreaves is a decent player, and not much more - and by decent, I mean that he'd be a good player for Villa.

right..back on topic, im not sure hes the right type of player we should be looking at, but i can see it happening. Tottenham have plenty of Central Midfielders who can fill his gap. They now have the talented Zokora who apparently spoke to Wenger personally before he moved to the crap side of North London SkySports hes a talented player and in Wenger we trust

I would be as excited about buying Carrick as I was about buying Jeffers, and that would be :shock: turing to :cry:

I would rather take Hargreaves then carrick, but by the same token wouldn't want either.

hargreaves is better than carrick in that DM/Holding role. carrick is a good passer but is a bit too slow to play at arsenal.
