Funny, but still doesn't take away the fact that it's a horrendous comparison.

I saw it as a prediction more than a comparison. Based on his brief time here and his horrific injury record in Italy, I don't think it's particularly far-fetched to suggest that his signing could be comparable with Hargreaves. They both cost similar sums of money and, if Aquilani continues in the same vein, could both prove to be massive failures. The only difference being that Hargreaves was a luxury buy for Utd, while Aquilani replaced one of our best players.

Its crazy to compare at this stage. Aqua has a minor injury, and by all accounts we have a handle on what was previously wrong with him. 2 years down the line we can compare with Hargreaves, but right now it reads like ridiculous DB doom-mongering.
