Michael Owen (now retired)

No longer has the legs required to survive in a pass-and-move gameplan, where he would be required to drop deep before ghosting into the box (off-the-ball). His burst of form under Keegan (in the 433) was his last hurrah in this respect. With that said i can't envision Mr Anti-Football even considering evolving, especially to suit a player who is well past the stage of running on fumes (physically).

 

Pullis will be banking that Owen's box-play & instincts will serve a purpose, as a result the usual knockdowns & scraps (ie. the last defensive line failing to clear it's line) courtesy of the long throw-ins etc. Best Hope: opportunistic 10 goal haul, amidst the usual Stoke Shite.

Not being disrespectful when saying I wouldn't play in The Championship. Always said I wouldn't drop down the leagues like some have done.

 

After playing for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Man Utd and England I don't think I would enjoy that football.

 

If a good opportunity doesn't come my way then so be it. At this stage of my career it has to be something that I'm going to enjoy doing.

 

I know I can still bang them in at the top level. I proved that nearly every time I played for Man Utd. At 32, still got a few years in me.

 

Putting us above the Championship now, that's a turn-up for the books.

As much as I dislike the c*** he could certainly do a job at this level, surprised QPR aren't in for him tbh.

 

surprised.. really?

 

maybe it has something to do with the fact that the little shit still expect 100k a week to sit in the physio room.

Totally finished at PL level. Interesting to see the spin start though. "17 goals in 18 starts" etc..

 

Here's who he got his goals against:

 

'11-'12: Leeds x2, Aldershot. (Both League Cup)

 

'10-'11: Bolton, Blackpool (League). Southampton (FA Cup), Scunthorpe (League Cup)

 

'09-'10: Wigan, City, WHU, Villa (League). CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg x3 (CL)

 

"Bang them in at the top level" ffs. The odious little deluded cunt.
