Guest neesy111 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 what a step backward's for man utd the replacement for tevez is a 30 year old striker, he hasn't scored in almost 6 months and can hardly run complete opposite of tevez as well, and he won't fit into man utd's team man utd will not be able to compete at all in europe next season imo, they got lucky a couple of times last season in the champs league as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Don't care if it's petty. Hope he goes there and falls on his face. Hope he's still being ignored by Capello and playing for the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen is a one dimensional poacher that relies on everyone else to do the leg work, while he takes the glory. If the ManUre fans are slagging off Berbatov now, just wait to see how they react to this cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 lol, so what happened to 'No top 4 club will ever want him' and that he is 'finished' then huh? The best team in the land wanting the guy on those kinds of wages.. i wonder why? Maybe because despite the shit he served us with horrible work rate, we didn't create the guy anything.

Laughable if he gives Owen a contract after offloading Ruud Van Nistelrooj 2 years back.

Lets see how many he gets next season. Not at all. I'm sure any of the top 4 clubs would be interested in signing Owen for free, but only as backup. He might be fragile, but that's not a problem if you only want to play him in emergencies, and he certainly has the experience at all levels. I figured they'd offer him much lower wages than clubs lower down the table, however, and that Owen would refuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they would sign him up, he's not dynamic, but can be useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you wrote about wages is what I don't particularly agree with.. if he moves to Man Utd he wouldn't want to be on the bench and being paid less then going somewhere he will play and pay more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well fuck, I guess someone will go for him. Will admit I didn't consider the goal hanger angle, but I suppose it makes sense. With Ronaldo leaving they may need to rely on someone for the last 20 or 30 minutes of target practice to pick up a goal, and he has a knack for being in the right spot. Breaking down teams parking the bus doesn't require the things he's missing anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has prob about £100million to spend on players this summer, may aswell get Owen for free too. Absolutely - I have had the best laugh in weeks looking at all the posts who derided Owen as a player, now furiously huffing & puffing in trying to justify their stance, now that Fergie looks like signing him. Because nobody in their right mind would be able to portray Fergie as a bad manager, there are now comments about his ego etc..Please... Anything rather than admit that Owen was playing in a crap team, getting no service and, as any intelligent person would be, totally pissed off with the comedy show that was Newcastle United.... Owen will be an asset to Man U if used sparingly, as Fergie doubtless intends to do - he will be getting 100 times better service and support than he did at NUFC and this move will benefit both parties - I am not in the SLIGHTEST bit surprised that this has happened because Fergie, despite his arrogance at times, is still a shrewd and clever manager.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I still think Michael Owen is rubbish. If they do bring him in, he'll score the occasional goal but he'll contribute little else to the team I think. Any decent striker could score a few goals with the amount of chances Man U create, but they really need dynamic players and Owen certainly is not that.

Cronky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 If Fergie rated him that highly, he could have brought him in a couple of years ago, with the buy-out clause in Owen's contract. If this story is true, he'll be seeing him as a squad player and impact sub. We also don't know on what terms Owen would be joining. He'll be desperate to join a club like Man U, in order to restore his reputation and get back in the England squad. If the alternatives are the likes of Hull, that's a public statement that he's past it. Man U will be able to dictate whatever terms they like, including a large element of pay as you play. All the same, I think Man U would be making a mistake. The issue of whether he gets picked and how well he's playing would attract far more media attention than his ability deserves, and that's not good for team morale. It'll turn out to be a problem they don't need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
