Cronky Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Michael Owen was right for United - Shepherd Jun 26 2009 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/06/26/michael-owen-was-right-for-united-shepherd-72703-23987776/ There were plenty of dissenting voices, Freddie. You just weren't listening. In fact, the loudest dissenting voice was Owen himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sheds Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Fat Fred said:“The clamour for him to sign was immense, and I didn’t hear any complaints from the thousands who turned up to welcome him on the day he arrived.”No it wasn't, in fact there was no 'clamour' at all. After all weren't we all supposed to be 'pleasantly surprised' when the club unveiled it's big signing that summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 i had a dream last night, that he rejoined liverpool, on his debut their again he broke down, all of newcastle rejoiced and then i had a arguement with andy gray telling him he was finished while he was saying he just wasn't fit then i went to brake owen's leg's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dover Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Got to say I agree with FFS on that one. At the time he was in great form for Real Madrid, still an England regular and commercial gold, so in that sense he was a good signing. In hindsight hes an arrogant uncommitted injury prone twat, but cant blame FFS for bringing him here at the time, and I also applauded his famous "drive him back to merseyside" comments when he realised he was a spent force.

Guest Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Spunked 17 million on a player and ignored the rest of the flaws of the team. What a fat turnip he is. To be fair, in those 3 transfer windows we'd spent biggish money in terms of fees and wages on a right and left back, centre back, three wingers, three central midfielders, and a big name centre forward before Owen signed.

tmonkey Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 All based completely on what Souness said. The man's a liar It's not based on what he says though. We know for a fact that Souness wanted Anelka and Boa Morte, Souness practically baited Anelka as best as he could through the media. It was also clear that Souness favoured the 4-3-3 system, and wanted Anelka/Morte for that system. As for the Owen bid, that was clearly entirely Shepherd, and I can't see it being any other way. He wanted a big name, big money, long term replacement for Shearer, he wanted the best England had to offer, so he went for Rooney first and foremost, and when that failed, he used the same funds a year later to sign Owen. Souness by that time had been told Anelka was a no-go as Fenerbahce had rejected our no-doubt derisory bid. It was compeltely obvious at the time what happened here without any need for Souness' eventual confirmation of the undermining that occurred.

Guest iliketoonarmy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think the key point is not whether he wants to buy the club back, but some stupid local fans even support him to buy it back, they just never learn... this is the exact reason why no one should want shepherd even near to buying the club back, he still hasn't learn't from any of his mistakes which started the massive downfall we are now in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth reading Luque's account of how his move from Deportivo to us was "engineered". http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2007/09/21/luque-i-came-to-united-for-money-61634-19822811/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever his reason for saying it, he's hardly been proved wrong has he. “They have a lot of potential and money to spend, but no genuine vision on how to run a club or create conditions to ensure success,” he explained. Pretty much spot on for both the Shepherd regime and the Ashley/Llambias regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
