Owen is a dream?
I couldn't think of a worse signing. Well I could but it's the internet and my hyperbole button is on.
He'd give me Andy Fucking Townsend flashbacks.

I'm another Owen naysayer. He is injury prone and i would question his hunger as well. Would he be more interested in the horses or the Albion?
I can't see us offering him an attractive enough basic on a PAYP deal. I wouldnt want us to neither, to be honest.

Tell me you wouldnt get goose bumps when on 69mins Michael Owen steps up off the bench to come on in the blue and white stripes of WBA....yes WBA.... If we could get 20+ games out of him...(look at reids record Pre WBA and compare to whilst at WBA-don't under estimate our medical team and reputation) he'd score 6-8 goals for us. Super Kev....maybe had a better fitness record but he worked! |

I've been wrong before on players, and i'll be wrong again, but the only goosebumps Owen gives me is the fear of him spending six months in the Hydropool on c£35K a week. We'll agree to disagree on this one mate. |

It would be centred around mins on pitch I've been wrong before on players, and i'll be wrong again, but the only goosebumps Owen gives me is the fear of him spending six months in the Hydropool on c£35K a week.

Super Kev....maybe had a better fitness record but he worked! Super Kev played regular football throughout his career. Owen has played 31 games in the last 3 years and scored 5 goals. Kev never relied on out and out pace. Owen did, and I'm pretty sure that's gone. I don;t think he's the sort of player that can extend his career by playing a different role. Just don't think he has that in his locker. Love to be proved wrong but I'd be proper sceptical. |

He will want a 'competitive' basic with added extras. Someone else may well offer him that. I cant see him signing the kind of deal that we would, rightly IMO, offer. This seasons Owen Hargreaves for me. |

Owen would be a fucking disaster, not a single shred of doubt in my mind.

I don't think he'd want a pay as you play, coupled with him no longer seeming too arsed about playing football i'd steer well clear.

If we gave him a season ticket to Wolvo races he might be interested.

He is a fantastic finisher who is slow due to his injuries and potential for further injuries. Why get rid of Cox and get him in. It's exactly like for like but Owen would cost more.

The way people go on that they are paying the wages out of their own pocket. Give him a go what are losing in the process if it works great if not put it down to a loss as everyone says every signing is a gamble. Not such a big gamble on pay as you play imo.

China, I'd fucking love a fit Michael Owen to play for us. However, if we're spending what little money we have and there's a more sensible target out there it makes more sense to do that. That's not gambling.

MAF OUT? ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS? OUR STAR PERFORMER IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE SEASON?
He is such a unique player that brings plenty of physicality which our other strikers don't do so much. Admittedly he isn't the most prolific but his link up play is top class which is very rare these days. As back up when Pete, Shane or the Berg are injured or out of form, he is a very excellent option. -1 for this article I'm afraid.
P.S. Owen is too big a risk and wouldn't settle for a small basic pay which is what we would offer.

Owen would be a massive disaster. He'd also not fit into a system other than 4-4-2. Owen was a late 90's, early 00's player. Football has evolved since then.
I'd have Fortune over Owen this season....
