Optimistic Nut Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Owen at the very least had some moments. Two against the Mackems, hat-trick at West Ham, etc. and still scored 1 in 3 for us. Luque cost over £10m, and did literally bugger all and never played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ferguson followed by Barton. The others you could understand why the club might have seen potential. It was common knowledge Ferguson was always injured, and that Barton was a fruitloop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ferguson bagged a few goals and at least put himself about. Luque didn't even look like a footballer. That goal v the Mackems was absolute comedy the way he bundled it from the centre circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ferguson wasn't that bad compared to others in the list ffs. He may have been injured a bit but when he wasn't he contributed, and did so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Him and Shearer had a great spell the season we got beat off Chelsea in the semi final. Just a shame injuries meant they didn't play together more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 What did Owen cost us in total? £35m plus was it? Got £10m of it back. Luque for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 What did Owen cost us in total? £35m plus was it? Over £32m in transfer fee and wages alone. And that's only based on £80k per week. Edit: forgot about the FA claim Mowen, good point. Still miles more than Luque cost though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think Maric was £5.5million. I remember a game v Derby and Shearer virtually shoved him out the way to grab a tap in. £3.65m on .com and we got £2m back Owen for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: forgot about the FA claim Mowen, good point. Still miles more than Luque cost though. He wasn't useless his whole time here though. We might as well have set fire to the money we spent on Luque for all the good it did us, fucking garbage. I hate my namesake as much as anyone but Alberto still has to win for me.

Chris_R Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Luque never, IMO, got a proper chance. Was never given a decent run in the team. Sure, he did fuck all. But it's hard to do anything when you're in the reserves. Owen gets this one for me. Spent 95% of his time injured or shit, cost us tens of millions, left for nothing and we ended up relegated (Count that into the cost as well? ).

LiquidAK Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 £17m plus £3m could have landed us Torres. Wouldn't have joined us even when we were in the Champions League tbf, even before leaving Atletico he was wearing Liverpool sweatbands and made it pretty clear he would only leave Madrid for them.

Spent 95% of his time injured or shit, cost us tens of millions, left for nothing and we ended up relegated (Count that into the cost as well? ). Also with Owen: the constant 'will he or won't he play for England' shite, his clear desire to prioritise England over his employers and the speculation about him moving on each and every single bloody transfer window. Much of this shite was exacerbated by his general attitude and he was way more hassle than he was worth. Does that make him biggest waste of money though? I'm stuck just listing reasons why I hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Take away all of Owen's goals under Keegan and we'd have finished on 38 points, good enough to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
