Lancashire Blue said:Those laughing at the Owen to rags deal should remember some other rag players down the years that have raised eyebrows when they signed them:
Cantona - Waster at Leeds going nowhere, became rag legend.
Sheringham - was 31 when he went to the rags and won everything with them
Henrik Larsson - Was 35 when went there on loan and had a fairly successful spell.
There's no doubt that when fit, playing, and getting service, Owen will score goals. For a team like the rags who create numerous chances, if he is on some kind of pay as you play deal, then I reckon it's a good move by them. Don't forget it's not like a Hull City scenario where Owen would have been the spearhead of the side, and if not fit, it would be a disaster. At the rags, given the size of their squad he'll just be another player to come on, and probably score.
I'm certainly not laughing yet. It could turn out to bite us on the arse.

Fair points although none of the above were crocked constantly. Who is to say the rags will create numerous chances? Ronaldo and Tevez were behind many of those as they caused carnage. Valencia is not the type. Rooney is not the most creative. This is the most impotent rag team I have seen in years.

For what you're getting, he'd be much better value than Bellamy, anyway.

personally I'm waiting until the window closes before passing judgment on the Rag recruitment policy ........... there still plenty of time for baconface to pull something out of the bag unfortunately
