The new Michael Johnson? Are we ever going to see him on the pitch/bench anytime soon.

Dougerlarse...updates SVP

Weve got a few games out of him that will do him for his career at MCFC.

I saw him getting off the team bus on Saturday

Out the double doors at the back on a chair lift?

Top quality midfielder. One of the best around. His place in squad should never be put under question. That's what I was told.

He's been back in full training for a week or so but was missing today.I reckon/hope that's because he is ineligible for the CL. Assuming fit I would expect him in the Carling Cup game.

If we sign DeRossi in Jan we won't see much of him.

I hope he gets fit before then, I think he was a tremendous player.

thought mancini played down talk of signing De Rossi?

i suppose we will see hargreaves in the carling cup, against arsenal maybe?

Mancini has talked down the possibility of prising him away from there saying he doesn't think DeRossi would leave but made it pretty obvious he wants to sign him. Now DeRossi has said this: “If I was to go I would prefer a foreign country. If you don’t find a deal, you can’t stop playing football.”

Next summer we could sign him for nothing, so presumably he could sign a pre-contract with us in Jan even if we don't buy him then.

I imagine Hargreaves will play v Arsenal if fit.

The rare times I see him play he looks good to me. I think be a good replacement for Yaya when he goes.

How many times have you seen him play for us? As far as I can recall he has only played one game and that was in the carling cup against Birmingham. Are you basing your opinion of his ability on one game against a Championship side?

replacement for Yaya? that makes tons of sense.

Comments like that are par for the course for him

Go on i will bite, no such person said the above without adding in "if fit", if you can find anyone that said the above i will donate the price of a pint to any charity you wish......

Replacement for Yaya's replacement then?

I said that as well at the time and got the same response. Where the fuck is he?

My sarcasm detector just exploded.

only makes sense if he meant "good replacement for Yaya when he goes to Africa in January"

in which case i might be tempted to agree

I think we should sign Carrick. Or Fletcher. Maybe Anderson? Oooh I hate rags me
