Manchester United's preparations for next season have been dealt an early blow with Owen Hargreaves, the England midfield player, unlikely to be back in action until January.

I really like the guy, but maybe it's time to start looking for a new defensive midfielder...

Would that not be seen as an ambitious move? When you're earning 90k a week, does 130k (i.e an extra 40k) prove to be the principal motivator? I'd say he has more chance of playing Champions league with Man City than with Villa, and if City get the players they want, then he'd also be playing in a very good team. Also it's not like the other top 3 teams are linked with him this season.
I can be very cynical at times, but sometimes feel that there is more to a footballer than money.

Really? By buying players like Bellamy? I don't see many big players wanting to join city unless they are after money and i think they will struggle to match Everton and Villa next season. For me Villa are one or two players away from really challenging for fourth place and if Everton can keep their players fit they also stand a great chance.
