Owen amazed by value

England midfielder Owen Hargreaves believes the £25million fee being mooted to seal his transfer from Bayern Munich to Manchester United is 'crazy'.
The 25-year-old was the subject of a transfer approach from United after the World Cup in the summer but the German champions refused to part company with their midfield star.
Hargreaves, who has stated his desire to play in the Premiership, is currently recovering from a broken leg but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to renew his interest during the transfer window.
Bayern are believed to be willing to do business for Hargreaves at around the £25million mark.
"It is a lot of money they are talking about. Is it even realistic? But football is a crazy world and ridiculous sums are paid," he told The Sun.
"Right now, I don't want to think about that. I just want to think about playing football, working hard and doing well.
"All the other things will take care of themselves - it is not down to me.
"Everything will fall into place but at the moment I have other priorities and that is to get healthy. I just want to come back and play football."
