Guest jonlane86 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Those who think Owen might come back need to pull their heads in......................................IMMEDIATELY Who has said that? I did. Doesn't mean I want it to happen, but he would come back if the offer was there, and its not like he needs the money so if the wages were right and the fee isn't daft i wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. As I said though, doesn't mean I want to see it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd chew my end off if Owen came back here. Rather sign Craig Mackail-Smith tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I don't think Owen fondly remembers his years at NUFC either. Really, you'll sooner see Given signing back than Owen. It will never happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont want to stay at Man United because he's not getting any games, plus Ferguson wont want to keep him. Who else would be interested in him in the PL? Is he really going to want to play for any of those? The point I'm making is he's played for us before so knows the club well, his time had only been tarnished by injuries up until January 2009 when he completely lost interest in trying to keep us up. If he's going to get a regular top flight game I believe he'd sign a contract for less money and the fee wouldn't be much to get him in. I WANT TO STRESS HEAVILY THAT I DON'T WANT HIM BACK AS I THINK ITS A STEP BACKWARDS, BUT I DON'T THINK ITS BEYOND THE REALMS OF POSSIBILITY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 he'll be off to america surely? no reason not too now that he's not in the england setup, and he'll get paid even more than he was on with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 There isn't that much money in the MLS as you may think. Outside LA and NYC there aren't teams that would be able/willing to meet his usual wages. What kind of contract does he have at ManU? Is it pay-as-you-play or a regular one? He might be better off seeing that one out, he may even win some silverware too (I think he already has the 10 games this season for a medal too).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I doubt the actual medal means that much if you've barely done anything to earn it though. I'd like to think that anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's going to get a regular top flight game I believe he'd sign a contract for less money and the fee wouldn't be much to get him in. I posted this on the Owen/World Cup thread, but its relevant to this posting also... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/7345998/Manchester-Uniteds-Carling-Cup-winner-Michael-Owen-happy-with-bit-part-role.html Michael Owen has dismissed the prospect of leaving Manchester United this summer by insisting he is happy to accept a reduced role at Old Trafford in exchange for silverware and life among football's elite. “I’ve played for teams that haven’t been doing well in the league and I’d much prefer to be playing a lesser role, but training every day with real top-quality players as I am at United." Seems he'd much prefer to train with 'real top-quality players' than start first team matches regularly. I don't think Owen fondly remembers his years at NUFC either. Really, you'll sooner see Given signing back than Owen. It will never happen. I think he remembers his pay days fondly while at NUFC. Says it all about him, really. There was never any great pride shown when he was made captain, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Keane comes with baggage IMO. You have to ask why is it he never stays anywhere for more than a few games? I've not heard of any baggage in terms of off-the-field stuff. But every club he goes to seems to get disillusioned with him after a season or two, and he hasn't quite found his level. Keane produces moments of eye-catching skill which might tempt clubs to see him as the answer, but he's not particularly quick or strong for a player that seems to prefer an out and out striker role. Clubs tend to eventually opt for someone with more physical presence. I rate Ranger and I'd like to see him given more game time. Totally agree with this. Speaking to Spurs fans they haven't rated him since he came back, he didn't do anything at Liverpool so his last reasonable form was 2 years ago as he approaches his 30s. No thanks. And again on the Ranger issue, he's still not had a proper run in the team. I think he's totally equipped for the Championship and playing week in week out would bag a fair few goals. Unfortunately it's likely that won't happen with us, I really hope he does go out on loan rather than get flogged though. Hughton does keep mentioning him so seems he does have a future.
