Rumour - Michael Owen

[bracksroyal10]

Its not the fact that the mans lazy I just quite simply think he lacks fitness. But on the other hand tbf to him you have to ask yourselves when was the last time he really had a run of games across a season in the PL?

Must of been the days of Owen - Shearer up front for Newcastle he just always seems to suffer from setbacks that are down to injury. When he does get regular game time he does have a great goalscoring record to be fair to him.

[melonhead]

If you think he peaked at 22 you must have been in a coma for when he was 23,24,and 25!

I couldnt care less about his other commitments. He WILL score goals. Done it his whole career.

You must have the IQ of about 3 if you think Hunt or Church are better goalscorers, he will do a job for one season!

Point out where I said Hunt and Church are better goalscorers? Owen was brilliant to start with aye, but that was YEARS ago. Signing players based on past reputations when they've been sitting on a bench for 3 years not giving a toss isn't an intelligent transfer strategy.

Owen's been finished for years, Liverpool recognised that when they sold him off to Real Madrid. He was all to happy to sit on the bench on a massive wage before going to NUFC to not give a shit on an even bigger wage.

Why would he be motivated at Reading? He's a lazy pillock who thinks the sun shines out of his arse. He gave up on football a long time ago and will be an utterly dreadful signing for anyone fool enough to sign him.

didnt he have a 1 in 2 or 3 record at madrid, newcastle and united?

not that i want him

just saying like

If this were ever to happen - and I don't for a moment think it will - then the best role for Owen would be to coach the likes of Church and the younger strikers rather than trying to play the game himself. Passing on what he knows to those keen to learn would be priceless.

yea thats probably the best role he could play if he ever did sign for us.

Why so out of breath?

The beginning of the school summer holidays must be the main reason why all these total mongtards keep joining up.

Owen would have tweeted more about the matter but he was cut short by breaking his metatarsal while trying to key in the @ sign.

I may be misremembering history, but I suspect this may be unfair. I seem to recall he was actually very good when called upon, but playing second fiddle to king Raoul kept him on the bench.

36 apps for RM, 13 goals. Mostly from the bench as you say due to Raul being ahead of him. Very good record there.

[UpThePrem]

He ended the season with thirteen goals in La Liga, with the season's highest ratio of goals scored to number of minutes played.

FAILURE!

I went to the Bernabeu in the season he played for them and he was more than comfortable playing with the Galacticos. He actually did well at Madrid because for the last 10 or 12 games of that season they changed formation to accomodate him into the starting line up and took Figo out of the team.

When Owen was there Perez was in trouble and sacking managers left, right and centre (3 in that season). He changed the manager again in the summer and Owen was frozen out. Madrid were a mess when Owen was there and in the circumstances he did very well.

When RFC need hungry 20-goals a season goalscorers just to stay in the division, why is anyone talking about a retired racehorse owner?

We don't need a 20+ goalscorer, that statement is incorrect.

Agreed, if one of our strikers gets 10-15 goals this season we should stay up comfortably.

Doyler says that if one of our strikers gets 10-15 goals this season we should stay up comfortably. Well Yakubu scored 17 last year for Blackburn and they didn't.

A 20 goal striker in the Barclays Premier League would cost about £20million.

I said should, not will.
