Owen for United?

It's a pretty low risk transfer for Utd. He'll be on big wages, but no transfer fee. They're not going to be relying on him, just another option and if he starts scoring goals, they could have themselves a bargain.

If Owen can't motivate himself there, in the season before his last chance to go to a world cup, he is most definitely finished!

Fergie is better off going for Huntelaar

Fergie has just sold all of your goals. He might take a punt on Owen alongside another £30m signing just to fill Ronaldo's quota

Even if he had just 30 mill Owen would not be the choice. He is not good enough he isnt very good the injuries are almost irrevelent. At his best he is not Man Utd class. What do we expect from him? he's a midget as well. The signing makes no sense from top to finish.

MWAHAHAHAHA


That is all

Don't see why it's that poor of a signing...no transfer fee, will still score goals etc...

there is another explanation

Neither Rooney or Berbatov play near enough the box. Owen will (or at least used to) hang off the last defender and play in that area. He might've lost his pace and enthusiasm and have an awful injury record, but he can probably still score goals. And goals are always useful

You wonder which word was decisive for Fergie to get him!

Yeah i am sure he can walk around doing fuck all and net a few goals. But he is like a smaller less relient less effiecient van nistelrooy. and van nistelrooy never worked out as it is. The thing is if he plays then Rooney has to play wide. And he doesn't want to do that. So either Fergie should find a way to work it out or admit he fucked up on buying Berbatov and flog him. But sign Owen...

i have heard he will be on less wages than he was at newcastle.

Owen is already loaded, this is a chance for him

to win the league
get in the england squad for the world cup

Owen has lost his pace and is injury prone but he is probably still a better finisher in the box than Rooney and Berbatov.

he would be useful at home against teams that park the bus.

I would be happy with:

Rooney + Berbatov

Owen + another new striker

Macheda + Welbeck

Why would you be happy with Berbatov Batman ?

He really isn't very good

Welbeck is to strikers what Momo Sissoko is to midfielders

Macheda at this moment in time is just one extremely lucky swing of a right boot and a lucky deflection.


Without Ronaldo you need the other signing to be right and at the minute it is hard to guess who that person could be

Manchester United fans thought they would be competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the transfer market waving around their £100m.

Instead they're competing with Stoke and Hull for Bosmans.

I would hardly say Berbatov isn't very good, one average season doesn't write off a career.

At least Owen wont make the same misake his buddy Shearer made!

It's more than enough to show he isn't good enough to be a very top level footballer. You at least need an element of PGD to get by.

I expect players like Nani, Berbatov, Fletcher, Brown, Anderson, Rafael to be alot better this season which will make a huge difference to the team.

I think we are all hoping they all get plenty of playing time this year Batman

It is important to clear the debt ASAP. So we can make Old Trafford 95k capacity and spend money on whoever, whenever. And this could be the idea however signing Owen STILL makes no sense.

these players have already proved they got the bottle to win the league and not choke like liverpool players.

Rafa rant

I don't think it's as bad as LRD is claiming. As long as he is not THE signing for the summer, he's come for free, he is accepting reasonable wages, and can probably be useful in a lot of situations.

If they sign a top striker to go with Rooney and then have Berbatov and Owen as backup, that's a pretty good quartet.

Kaka
Villa
Ribery
Torres
Benzema
Aguero
Pato
