Michael Owen
For my money, Michael Owen made a terrible decision leaving Liverpool. Since then, he's found out he's not good enough... or not the right kind of player at least... for Real Madrid, and of course, he went to that shambles of a club in the North East and as not looked like the player that once scared defenders witless.
So.
Having a think about it over the past couple of weeks, it's pretty obvious he's going to want out come January... but where to?
ManUrinal won't have him... and I don't think Big Phil will want him at Chelski... I can't really see Liverpool making another move for him... and Arsenal? I suppose Arsenal could do with an experienced striker but I just can't imagine Owen in a Gooner shirt. That's the 'big four'... what about the rest?
Well, I can't see Villa wanting to go for him as they've got Agbonlahor who is quicker than Owen and has bags of potential... and So Solid Carew.
Anyone else? Maybe he'll do one to Rangers/Celtic or something?
Basically, Kinnear thinks Owen's off... Owen looks like he doesn't want to be at Newcastle... so where's he off to then?

Re: Michael Owen
If I recall correctly his scoring record was quite good there, he just was kept on the bench in favor of Ronaldo due to the latter's "Galactico" status.mofgimmers wrote:For my money, Michael Owen made a terrible decision leaving Liverpool.

Can't see him going to Spurs. What they need is a target forward. Could Owen, Bent, and Pavlyuchenko fit in the same team?
We were all pretty surprised when he went to Madrid and then Newcastle so perhaps we'll be surprised again. I say Bayern Munich!

I think he's going to be in for a shock when he sees the clubs that will be interested and the money they're prepared to offer. If he had any sense he'd take whatever Newcastle are offering.
Businesswoman of the year.
Precisely. So why would he want to move?Soldier_Of_The_White_Army wrote:If Newcastle want to off load Owen, the guy will know full well he'll need to take a big pay cut due to his injury prowess.blurred wrote:Owen will stay where he is, because there's no club willing to match his wages.

He will stay where he is, because he'll earn a lot more.

popular tottenham-supporting newcastle owner cheers up geordies by saying no to owen...
spurs buy owen.
he is injured in sept 2009. makes only three appearnaces, scoring one and having one unjustly disallowed... clearly still potent striker...
manchester city buy him in january 2010 window, for 250 mill... on seven year contract worth 20k per minute...
he is injured february 2010... insurance company that had covered hs wages goes into crisis... Parent of insurance co defaults on third party claims in eastern manchester...
capitalism melts down...
so, not all bad...

If articles start appearing in the popular press in the run up to January about how Owen is good enough and young enough to play for England, and is still one of the best strikers in the country, put your entire worldly possessions on him going to Tottenham.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I feel a bit sorry for Owen. He seems like a nice bloke but his timing was terrible. Fancy waiting all those years and then the very season you leave Liverpool they go and win the CL. Because of this bad advice he's no where near fulfilled his potential.
So, given all that, I can see him in a Spuds shirt.....

Here I stand foot in hand...talkin to my wall....I'm not quite right at all...am I?

No they probably couldn't all fit in the same team, which is precisely why he will go to Spurs.H.
