Optimistic Nut Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 "He was my first choice, the chairman nearly fell off his chair when I said this is the one I really want. There was a look of disbelief and he shook his head. And we've got him and the supporters will love him. He's an honest, up-front guy as well as a top-class footballer." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-360900/Owen-looks-future-head-spinning-days.html#ixzz0TneRQxMS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Didn't Souness want Anelka and Boa Morte or something, but Shepherd wanted Luque and Owen? I'm sure I read that somewhere. NE5 did post a link once highlighting with quotes Souness writing Owens name on a bit of paper & saying that is who he wanted. To be fair, I do remember that. Something like Shepherd asked Souness to write down a list of players he wanted, he put Owen down, and Shepherd nearly fell off his chair, or something like that. Souness used to take the piss out of bellamy's finishing ability from what I remember, constantly sniping at his goals record when justifying his decision to play him wide. Even with a gammy leg Bellamy is still a far more effective striker than owen in today's game. Souness is such a twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So how screwed are Man U now? Rooney is now injured and the guy they brought in to fill in managed to get injured yet again even before Rooney did. Predictable as anything. Owen will be discarded next summer and they'll likely get another striker in who can at the very least not get injured all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Rooney is england injured, not Man Utd injured. Much like Steven Gerrard is suddenly injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness couldn't have achieved the destructuction of the squad without tacit support from Shearer and Shepherd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% confident Rooney can start for Man Utd for the next game. FA is giving Man Utd 100% support in everything since 4 years ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think Marriner would have sent Carragher off if it wasn't Owen being fouled by him..Owen not having the pace to be through for a goalscoring opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
