Stu Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Quite interesting to see Fergie say Owen will be still there next season. Also that he's take part in every training session surprises me. "He has done well here, he has been a success," Ferguson says. "He's a great professional, he's never missed a training session, his performances in training have been very good, and I think he has improved as a footballer in his time here. "His general knowledge of the game is better, so is his linking play, and for the first time in his career he is getting used to coming on as a sub. I think he's enjoying being a part of it here and he'll definitely be here next season because I have absolutely no intention of letting him go. The only problem Owen has got at the moment is Wayne Rooney. We're getting incredible performances from Rooney at the moment, and Michael has come here at a time when another striker, and sometimes the only one we use, is on the rise." [...] "Getting used to playing as sub may be an advantage in the long term. Even though he's not figuring a lot for us, he's still the one player you would want on your bench if you need to make a change with 15 minutes to go in a World Cup quarter-final. That has to be in your thinking. It's going to be difficult for him to get to South Africa I know, it's a big ask to pick a player who is not playing, but I don't need to tell Fabio how to do his job. He's an experienced manager who knows what he wants and he knows what striking options are available."

And tbf he's always said that his biggest regret at Man Utd is not getting Gazza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Too much of a gamble to rely on him getting and staying fit for a month in the summer. Waste of a place if he can't play more than 3 games in a row without pulling his hamstrings He's not fucking going anyway, I don't even know why I'm trying to think of excuses and reasons not to take him tbh.

Cajun Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Piece of turd injured yet again. Shame. But he proved today exactly what a world class striker he is, how many forwards can score from 18 yards out virtually unchallenged? Not many if these commentators are anything to go by. World class!

It was a real chance for me because I haven't started too many games. I don't think about the World Cup. A lot of people have been getting their knickers in a twist about it. I just want to play for Man United and if that gets me recognition, then great. I've been to many World Cups and European Championships. If I don't go, it gives someone else a chance."

Guest Stephen927 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It surprises me that people still say Michael Owen only needs one chance to score. I mention last season they say no one cares about Newcastle, I mention this season then they put it down to coming off the bench a lot. Owen just isn't any good anymore, basically.
