Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
On Rooney's injury
"I think it may be longer.", There is no recovery,
it is just rest.
"Before he went away we did his remedial in terms of
what we could do at the time. Thereafter, rest -
we're quite happy with that." |
|
|
On Michael
Owen
"There is no recovery, it
is just rest.
"Before he went away we did his remedial in terms of
what we could do at the time. Thereafter, rest -
we're quite happy with that." |
|
|
ON Chicharito
"We are not surprised because we identified a lot about him before we
signed him. We did a lot of work on him.
"Seeing him in pre-season and training we thought he
would do well.
"He is young and wants to learn and he comes from a
really good football pedigree. He speaks the
language and that is important. |
|
|
On Owen Hargreaves
"He was making very good progress when he first came
back but that seems to have stalled a bit and he is
back with the physios now. |
