Man Utd + Michael Owen

Posted by Ireland fm!KarL on 2009-07-03 10:11:50
I know alot of people will jump on the bandwagon and laugh at the signing of Michael Owen.

But personally, I am rather pleased that Fergie stuck to his guns and didn't offer stupid amounts of money for players just because he needed a striker.

Anyway.. welcome Mickey Owen :D

Discuss :}

Edit: I think United will now go and buy a midfielder or a winger since they have not bought a striker.

If you can keep him fit, he's going to score goals. Nothing to lose really, if it doesn't work out you've only shelled out on wages.

Could turn out to be a master stroke. Somehow doubt it though.

Well sky sports news are saying hes currently having a medical ahead of signing.

Also, I read that it could be a pay-to-play contract.. which I wouldn't be surprised with.

United should spend on Douglas Costa now (brazilian wonderkid)

we sold him at the right time for £12m which is good business sense. I would take him back on a free and PPP contract for sure.

Torres out injured, who else do we have as back up....

its shrewd business imo

Hes a proven goalscorer. a real poacher. Hes prooved to play well with rooney for england. Plus as a spurs fan i know the true genius that is berbatov. If fergie decides to play berbs further upfield which he did at spurs with keane filling in, then someone like owen with reasonable pace and clincle finishing will do well. but he needs to keep fit!

honestly, have fun with a 30 years old striker. he has experience for sure, but i think he's 2 much old for a team like man utd. maybe he can be usefull as a sub, but not as the first striker of the team. hf again :S

In four years at Newcastle, Michael Owen started 65 games and scored 30 goals. He is reported to have cost the relegated club an eye-watering £41m in fees and wages.



Didnt know he was that much of a nuisance

I remember when United signed Sheringham and he turned out to be a perfect addition to that squad. Hopefully Owen will do aswell as Teddy did.

mostly agree, but we dont know what reasons he had for leaving liverpool, and it would have been a smarter choice to stay in england instead of going to spain.

He turned down a lucrative contract 18 months before his contract ran out, ran down the year and left for £8m when he was arguably one of the best prospects in the world.

Michael Owen only thinks about what's best for Michael Owen.

its harsh but, when owen came through liverpools youth team (?) and he could have signed a contract, stayed for another few months and gave liverpool an extra 10-15 £million

edit; correct me if im wrong i duno if owen did come through the ranks

If he can get back to his old form it will be a very good signing, considering he's free. However, he wasn't really playing anywhere close to his best at the end of last season, partially down to the fact that he was at newcastle, but he really wasn't finishing well.

Could go either way if he signs.

Hes gona be a squad player quite clearly.

Rooney and Berbatov are gona be the main strike force obviously..

They got a player with bags of experience.

Don't question Fergies judgement.

If anyone can get the best out of him its fergie IMO.

United being linked with Fabiano aswell.
