Rumour - Michael Owen

[Stuboo]

I think Brendan Rodgers needs him more than we do....If they can forgive him for playing for United

I agree. I wouldn't be suprised if that happens. Liverpool will get mocked massively of course, for such a deperate move, but If I was them, with limited funds, I'd do it. Worth a punt on a pay per play deal surely?

[West Stand Man]

Im not the only one on here that thinks this as from the replys on the board everyone knows we need another striker

Well, I don't know that we need another striker. So that blows your theory that 'everyone' does.

ps. is your written English always this poor?

[Simon's Church]

How long have we got left to wrap this up if we want him to play league games then?

I stand corrected i should have said the majority of people think we need another striker


If my english was that bad u wont have been able to read it would you

It would have been exciting to have another striker, but we don't need one. Half the season will be played 4-5-1; why would we spunk 8m on someone to sit on the bench? Maybe 1-2m would have been worth it, but is anyone who costs that going to be better than Alf or Roberts or Hunt? Doubt it.

And f/ck it, we're scoring aren't we? What's the f/ckin worry!

'Greed. And besides we've already got a perennial (permanent) crock. He's called Jimmy Kebe. Don't need another.

[cmonurz]

Rodgers is apparently not interested, owing to his injury record, and Owen made a now deleted tweet telling Barton his destination would be revealed Wednesday. Looks like he is Stoke-bound.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Thank f/ck. Was dreading the idea of watching Owen contract Locked-In Syndrome while pulling on his Reading shirt.

stoke have signed michael owen it was a late deal

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Not late at all - he's a free agent so can be signed any time out of window.

[super darren caskey]

I feel slightly disappointed we havent snapped him up tbh.Although im pretty satisfied with our squad at the moment seeing Owen in a Reading shirt would have been pretty good......Right wheres the Heskey thread....

[phil in cornwall]

Pleased for him. He's a nice guy and I hope he stays fit and does well.

[Blakey's Right Peg]

Eh?

[Alexander Litvinenko]

The problem to be sorted now is that Stoke notified the PL of their squad before they signed him - so they need authorisation to change their 25.....

yes it was a late deal 2 day ok so incorrect

What's worse than someone who's stupid? Someone pretending to be stupid.

Nope - someone replying to him.

lol, pillocks. Would love it if the PL said no. PuLOLis.

Have to feel sorry for whoever now misses out.

[RoyalBlue]

Approval gone through. Pay as you play deal, probably a good deal from Stoke's perspective.

Yup - have to say I would have quite liked us to have got him on that basis.

Fair enough, but what about someone replying to someone replying to him?

And technically I wasn't replying to him, I was replying about him.

[Z175]

Lot of media chat about Owen wanting to leave Stoke...
