LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 If Kluivert was so good how come his career died on it's arse after Barcelona got rid of him? Barcelona got rid of him when he was well passed his best. The Barcelona fans didn't like him in the last year or so of his time there. Yes but he was also shit after he left Newcastle. Same as Viana. People say they'll be great when they leave us and they are actually just as shit elsewhere. Everton to offer Michael Owen a £50,000-a-week escape route from Newcastle By Alan Nixon 2/06/2009 Everton boss David Moyes is offering Michael Owen a £50,000a-week contract to make a dramatic return to Merseyside. Moyes has been given the cash backing from chairman Bill Kenwright to sign the former England striker, who is keen to come back and play in the area following his nightmare at Newcastle United. Talks have begun, the package has been put to Owen and the signs point to the one-time Liverpool idol saying "yes" to Everton in the very near future. Owen was on a staggering £120,000-a-week contract on Tyneside, but those days have long gone as he has struggled for fitness and form over the past three seasons. The one-time England centre forward knows he will have to settle for less, and Everton's deal looks the best financially - and also in several other ways. Owen has his home nearby and his booming horse-racing interests are also based locally. But, above all, this is a football opportunity for him. Everton are in Europe and pushing to break into the Big Four. He would also have a chance to play under Moyes and even get back into England contention with a World Cup just a year away. Moyes can go for Owen within his budget as there is no fee. He would become one of the club's top earners but this is a special case and would not disrupt the dressing room at Everton, who are not over-blessed with experienced strikers. Love the "escape route from Newcastle" line. Journalist's should know Owen doesn't need to 'escape' as his contract is about to expire. £50K a week for Owen? He's not worth it Everton.

I think it was pretty mutual between the two actually. Even if he wanted to stay we would not have let him, he didn't seem popular amongst the management.

Guest Phil K Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Shearer had a lot more minutes under his belt though iirc. He had ONE big injury Owen has milked every little bump. He's been an absolute disgrace. I just hope he's an absolute disaster at Everton. The lure of waving a sick note won't be resisted long. He did it at Liverpool last season there, did it at Real, and done it here. Too often to be all genuine. My guess is he'll do the biz for the first 3-4 months, then it'll start.

He has had one big injury his career? Thats kind of ridiculous ask yourself why? He gets a shitload in appearance fee's has a 1 in goal scoring record his entire career why would be want to be in physios room. Requires spending more time at the club than anyone who is fit. Im sure when he gets treatment, hospital scans and the like the medical staff at the hospital and club can back up your claim! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little over-reaction from YOU I'd say So - Owen's played more often than not, right ? The figures lie, right ? He DIDN'T spend most of his time at Real on the sick list ? Whats a "1 in goal scoring record" ? Scored once in half a season ? I suppose thats what he did at the end for us. Even Shola did better. Owen spent too much time helicoptering up here, and not enough time on the pitch in his time here Believe what YOU want (and ignore the long absenses during his time) I'll believe the opposite.

KaKa Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I really like Everton. Think it would be a mistake for them going for Owen. However, I guess the fact that he is free and he is willing to take a substantial cut in wages is attractive for them and they probably feel he will raise their profile somewhat. On the pitch however, I think they could do with a more dynamic striker to play alongside the Yak, which brings the best out of him. I would rather play Cahill or Fellaini just behind Yakubu as they did this season rather than play Owen alongside Yakubu. If they want to go to a more conventional 4-4-2 next season I think they could do better. Just as an example they could go for someone more in the mould of the striker on loan at West Brom who did quite well for them this past season, Fortune. Wouldn't be at all expensive either. Yakubu would play really well off him as Fortune is big, fast and strong and does a decent job of holding up the ball and battling, also scored some goals too. The Yak would thrive off that as he doesn't particulalry like doing the dirty work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite ludicrous buddy tbh. Why and how buddy? He sees phyios who are obviously qualified and tell a fake from an authentic injury(or should do!). His injurys stopped him from playing .. there is absolutely not one single reason why he would not want to play. Like i say he has appearance fees to be gained from playing, playing bonuses, sponsorship deals, his England career prospects. Plus when your injured your at the training ground more than anyone else, why just why would you think that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I DON'T like Everton, mainly due to their inexplicable attitude to NUFC. That said, I agree that Owen may - just may - be a dodgy signing for them. They've got no real "stars" - everyone pulling together. I noticed some amusement though when they've talked about Owen, they've made it known that a contract would have playing considerations included. The last time I saw this was when Man City insisted on it when Howey signed for them - Howey whose sick record was as bad as Marcellino and Dyer, never mind Owen. AND they were offering half what he's on here. You suggested he had 1 big injury and faked/exaggerated all the rest. It's quite ludicrous buddy tbh. Why and how buddy? He sees phyios who are obviously qualified and tell a fake from an authentic injury(or should do!).

Like i say he has appearance fees to be gained from playing, playing bonuses, sponsorship deals, his England career prospects. Plus when your injured your at the training ground more than anyone else, why just why would you think that? I suggested SHEARER was the one who had "one big injury" - read something before commenting on it. Owen has had a variety. I was first suspicious when his comments to Ericsson was followed shortly after by another long term sick leave, then just before the world cup he makes an appearance. Not saying he invents injuries - I'm saying he's fond of waving sick notes. Lets just say he's not averse to sitting with his feet up whilst others would be ready or WANT to play. And if you believe this doesn't happen, then gullibility is your strong point. Besides, it's all hypothetical. He's on his way out. He's a player of another club. Or will be.

I know I can't really back up this following statement, but in my opinion ... If Owen isn't captain and say Beye or even Butt was I believe we stay up. We missed staying up by one point. I believe a more vocal and instructive leader would have at least got one more point for us this season in one of the many close calls we had when we just needed that extra push. How demoralising it must have been to see the club captain so quiet, sour faced and dejected when were struggling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
