Decky Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Banging them in for KK, he also looks fitter than ever, he said it himself but we didnt believe him as he got injured shortly after, but hes been back a while and we are starting to see what a consistant Michael Owen is capable off. TBH i think he will trive under KK and will lead the KK revolution on the pitch. Good times, reckon we are well on our way to justifying the money we paid for him at this rate.

Yorkie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm warming to him with every game he plays now (huh, wonder why), but i'm still not entirely convinced about him. It could be just a good run... but that's just pessimistic. The truth is, he's playing superb football and is something of a talisman atm. I thought he was exceptional against Fulham, even though he wasn't in the game constantly... and even though he wasn't upfront managed to grab a goal. Can't really comment on today as i didn't see the game, but he's clearly continuing in the same form. Howay Mickey. As a resident anti-Owen (sort of), my head is officially on the turn...

U might be getting a touch ahead of yaself there, on the back of an awesome performance today. Generally agree with the rest, if Owen stays fit and stays with us he'll only get better.

James Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yorkie - you need to get rid of that 'Thanks anyway' as you are thanking that fat bastard for nothing. He reduced the quality of our squad, and had these players playing at 25% of their ability. Allardyce gave absolutely nothing to the club, and we can thank our lucky stars that we have been able to get out of the mess he created. Slightly off-topic - apologies.

Amazingly, I think James is spot on. Fat wanker was a joke, in all honesty. Great to see Owen performing, really bodes well for his future as he needs to change his game to be a top striker again and he's showing signs that he might be able to do it. Keegan has been a god-send for him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill, Decky Shearer - £15m - 206 goals. Owen - £17m - 20 something goals. (can't be arsed to check but maybe it's still in the teens) He'll never end up justifying his transfer fee because of the past 2 injury-filled years and his wages are still too much for a player who's a shadow of the one we signed.

Decky Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 What i meant by that comment was at the rate he is going now, when his time at Newcastle comes to an end then we should have had our moneys worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Signed 10 years later and with a tiny percentage of his starts. Owen will never be another Shearer, but he's the best striker on the planet that could possibly be up front for us next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will be then, but I can't see Henry having the same level of faith based on this season. I do actually agree with your point, but surely everything changes next season? Clean slate, and apart from the lack of Europe we'd be an attractive club to join especially if we get some good wins under out belt and the football keeps impressing. Henry? Who knows. Henry doesn't like being a big fish in a massive pond, he'd much prefer to be king of the pitch somewhere, and he is suited to the prem. Same kind of things were said about Owen when we took him from Madrid, but it did happen, so who knows? But in general, i can't see a name as big as Owen joining us, however i reckon there are better players for us out there, we've just got to find them.

Parky Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think HP is saying Owen is one of the best finishers in the world. Yes he is and will be even when he's 33/34. That thing Owen has is the last thing you lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 If Owen's goals and leadership have saved us from relegation, then I think he's made up in recent weeks for at least some of the transfer money we paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
