Michael Owen

[insideinfo]

Would anyone else think this would be a great buy?
Could get him for £5-10m which is a bargain for someone like him.
Guaranteed goals and would fit the bill for Hughes' immediate impact as he seems to be looking at Premiership players who will fit right in.

Only concern is Owen playing in a 4-5-1 formation but I think he can do it and would link up well with Robinho. Still lives in the North West too...

 

[blue dallas]

be a good move, good addition to the squad.
better than benjani, cacaido,evans.

 

[NSBFL]

FFS Get him bought already - we have the money and the need.

 

[seventeen hands]

Would be good. Cheap as well...although, thats not too much of a factor right now.

 

[S.W.P]

good if could keep him fit.. defoe would be nice though

 

[Freestyler]

Better than what we have, would be a great addition to the team, i see him as a bench warmer though after July

Would love to see Owen at City than Defoe.

Would love to see Owen at City than Defoe.

why?

 

[avoidconfusion]

Better him than Bellamy imho.

I would also prefer spending 5m on him than 20+m on Defoe.

 

[S.W.P]

ahh fukit we can have both.:P. there both better than jo and benj!!

not like money is tight lol

I don't get why Hughes is going for Bellamy rather than Owen. Owen has more quality than Bellamy does and they're both injury prone and you could pick Owen up for cheaper than what West Sham are asking for Bellend.

Would love to see Owen at City than Defoe.

why?

Just my own opinion but I also read that Defoe would not likely move north of London. Regardless of Owen's injuries he's a proven goal scorer and we could do with a poacher like him in the box.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[Greiver]

Alot better than what we have. He is a proven goal scorer and for a certain price is definately worth it. We have the dough, the need, so we should do it. Though I think we can do much better he is definately not a bad start. Keep Caicedo and Sturridge, 2 very potential strikers good backups and will be well needed to keep our numbers up and strengthen the squad throughout the entire season. I seriously hope we get Villa, would love Klose here, or even Schweinsteiger, Podolski!

Bellamy has pace to burn and can play on the left, that's probably the reasoning, just hope that particular transfer doesn't come off like virtually everyone else on here the guys a trouble maker.

I would be very very happy and jumping for joy if we signed Owen.

Top class player!!

 

[moomba]

Owen would be a good signing and if we're going to go for premier league experienced players then I'd much rather go for someone like him who could make a contribution longer term to a run at the top 4.

 

[Wooderbeen]

I don't get why we're not going for him either. I'm not sure there is a more proven Premier League goalscorer available right now, regardless of the fact we'd pick him up for peanuts (in relative terms). He's certainly more proven than RSC. I wouldn't be too sad to see them both come in to be honest, but given the choice I'm plump for Owen.

better than benjani, cacaido,evans.
