Michael owen..

Who actually thinks hel sign for us then??

He said in an interview he wouldnt drop down to the championship and if he doesnt sign for a prem team he will look to retire?!

Think he will look like a bit of a muppet if he signs for a championship side now! :lol:

He needs to get back to his sharpness so a season in this division would be good for him ready for a year in the prem then if the team he went to got promoted! :ayatollah:

It's not about sharpness.

His body is shot.

He was perfect for Utd because he was 4-5 choice.

Make Owen a first team player and you will be lucky to see him play 10 games in a season.

Fully fit, Owen scores for fun at this level and would still score goals at Prem level.

I think he still needs that sharpness back a bit being out injured for a while, would easily do a job at this level he is only 32!

It would be the same mistake as signing Fowler.

Fowler was effective still at Liverpool because he was not 1st choice.

We signed him and made him 1st choice and his body simply couldn't handle it.

Both Owen and Fowler started playing at the highest level at 18, both have had long careers.

In some sense both Owen and Fowler are older than they are - In terms of miles on the clock. Owen is shot due to the fact he was 1st choice at Liverpool and England when he was just 18.

There was a time when things like this were said about Bellamy but watching him play for team GB I thought he looked in better nick than ever.I'm pretty sure that if Owen's as crocked as you say he wouldn't get passed Malky's medical men.That providing theres any truth at all in these rumours.

I'm sure he would pass a medical.

But when was the last time Owen played a full season?

Look how many games he played for Newcastle - The last time he was 1st choice.

Sky Sports stating his deal with Stoke has collapsed as they couldn't offer him the terms he wanted. Do you honestly think we would be able to offer him better terms than Stoke. Unfortunately its all about money with him

Well,if your right then Malky must have done his homework.So far you can't fault the type of player Malky's brought to this club.A fit Owen would strike fear into every championship defence.With the type of salary he could command I just can't see Malky taking a chance unless he was 100% sure.

well aware what bookies odds mean thanks. i do wonder if you are posting this purely based on the odds.

you are not posting what you have heard are you? if you were, you would tell us why you are so confident he will sign tomorrow, anything else is just attention seeking really

if it does happen it wouldnt be a suprise as VT would know it will sell loads of jerseys and hes a big name for the malaysian market which is what our owner is using ,could also be this "first 11" player some have said,if he came you can guarantee hes asked for that.
