Owen does the basics ok, but he cant really hold the ball up. And he wasn't head and shoulders our best player at the end of last season tbh. You could make a case for Viduka and Martins, even Faye in those last 9 or so games
Good point. Also wonder how he truly feels or felt about Keegan quitting just 4 months after "convincing" him to sign back in 97.
6 months, but yes, indeed
Oba and Xisco should benefit a hell of a lot from this. Given that they're both laced with ability crying out to be compounded with genuine intelligence
He was injured for a lot of the Euro 2006 qualifiers, surprise surprise so that's a daft point to make.
Out of interest what was his record for Euro 06 qualifying? funny you didn't mention it
England produced Wayne Rooney who managed 4 goals in a single tournament pal. 4 goals for Owen in 4 tournaments is pathetic, whichever way you want to spin it
You think any of the above stats vindicate a striker whose any real impact on a game is goals? Especially in a team with creatively brilliant players like Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham and Cole
He's been on the wain for 5 years and your stats demonstrate that to be honest. Nice sidestep for the 4 in 15 stat btw. He's let England badly down in the tournaments, pathetic record for a 'goalscorer'
Owen fans, bunch of wankers clinging to a Ballon d'or winner to validate their club, pathetic
