Michael Owen to Man U?

[badlands]

Sky sports reporting that his price has dropped from 66/1 to 4/7 to sign for man united before the season starts.

 

[CyberRose]

Probably rumours put out by his agent to make it sound like he's actually wanted by top teams after that brochure idea died on its arse!

 

[skyscraper101]

Please let it be so.

 

[Epico]

It's dropped on Skybet, because they are one of the few bookies offering that market.

They then advertise it on SkySports.

Then idiot punters jump on it.

Then Owen signs for Wigan.

 

[skyscraper101]

He'd be good for United.

And he's get a better shot at getting back into England again.

 

[sned]

Man united should NOT buy Owen!!!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

This sounds somewhat improbable.

Clever.

Ah, you're right.

They worded a headline in a very misleading manner.

Sorry.

Man utd won't buy Owen .... he's on a free , he'd be a brilliant squad player in a good team , he's had talks today with them acording to talk/sport .

 

[London_Calling]

I can see it on a pay-for-play basis; they don't have to pay him if everyone stays fit, and he's close to his horses.

They only have two experienced senior strikers. If he signed and stayed fit for half the season he'd definitely play.

 

[Deareg]

if he could stay fit, i think he would be an excellent signing, he still has a lot to offer..... if he can stay fit

 

[mrkikiet]

he's a fucking lemon chewing arsehole.

good thing about manchester - it's close to his beloved horses.

 

[isitme]

i think it would be a good signing for them

they are short one vile little cunt now

 

[deadringer]

thought he was liverpool thru and thru, could never have seen him going to their rivals. he'd be better off at a less demanding club, somewhere where he could get back on track, get fit, re discover his form. somewhere like newcastle.

 

[Diamond]

From Ronaldo and Tevez to Michael Owen.

What a balls up.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Owen shouldn't be allowed near the club let alone putting on the shirt. Fergie must be desperate for some horse tips. Or as suspected most of the money from FC Franco and that Portuguese mong has been siphoned off to service the debt, or the Glazers are asset stripping before we're plunged into debt oblivion.

I hope Malcom Glazer's mother dies of bad AIDS and her offspring die in a freak yachting accident.

 

[kained&able]

not the worst signing ever if this happens.

Berbetov will need to step up and become the man this season though.

But then main combination of berbetov and rooney with owen coming off the bench and the likes of welbeck and macheda pushing through as the other strikers.

If he stays fit it isn't a bad strike force at all. Certainly equal to anything that chelski, liverpool or arsenal have.

Its man uniteds midfield that desperatly needs sorting.

If he stays fit it

That's the entire problem - he won't because he's a crock. A slow crock who's lost his first touch too.

 

[Sunray]

Michael Owen in a World Class team will be world class, barring injury. I can guarantee it.

I was surprised and slightly disappointed that Liverpool didn't sign him. Its a free transfer so less risk. Still cant blame him for that move.

 

[skyscraper101]

I think it's a fantastic move all round. For him, for Man Utd, and for England.

I'm looking forward to the new season even more than last now, save for that crappy new shirt.

 

[badlands]

30 goals in 79 appearances for Newcastle.

that ain't bad.

 

[DRINK?]

That's the entire problem - he won't because he's a crock. A slow crock who's lost his first touch too.

he never had a first touch...his pace always let him get away with what in my opinion was a dreadful touch...though now his pace is not what is was he suffers....saying that he knows where the net is...time will tell, seems no risk to me

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Is it a deffo then?

 

[g force]

Unless he becomes a Sheringham/Larsson type player...but that would require him changing his game and I don't think he can.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

What's the betting that now he's on play as you play he won't have a single injury and will net 40 goals this year

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Saw on the news owen is having a medical at man utd today.
