West Brom boss Hodgson reveals positive talks with ex-Man Utd midfielder Hargreaves

West Bromwich Albion bossRoy Hodgson remains keen on released Manchester Unitedmidfielder Owen Hargreaves.
Baggies manager Hodgson does not know whether joining his squad appeals to the former England player, who may have other options to consider.
Hodgson said: "When I left at 6pm on Tuesday, Owen was just about to leave at the same time.
"And we made it clear: ‘Look, we’ve done the test, we agree with you, and your man Alex, that the knee’s okay and you can play football. And of course if you’d like to come and play for us that would be lovely.
"But whether or not our offer is going to be interesting to him, that’s what I don’t know.
"He was looked at by our doctor, Mark Gillett, who was at Chelsea, who’s quite an eminent person in his field.
"And we had all the test results that he of course brought with him as well. And we spoke to his man, Alex McKechnie, who had been rehabilitating him for the last year.
"He didn’t go through a stringent medical, but he was looked at by someone who should know what he’s talking about."
West Brom’s technical director Dan Ashworth has tabled an offer to Hargreaves.
"I know Dan has e-mailed a proposal to Owen, but I don’t know what the proposal is," Hodgson said.
