Football fans have notoriously short memories.
Owen was injured for about a third of the time that Bojinov has been. At every single level, in every single team, he has proved that he can score goals and never rocks the boat. He has lost a yard of pace, but that still puts him about 4 yards in front of most defenders. He is surprisingly good in the air for a small lad, his touch is great, both his left and right feet are deadly and he is a naturally gifted striker; always in the right spot. He can play as a poacher, or as a deeper player, in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Pair him with RSC and the Prem wouldn't know what has hit it.
His best work is always when he has been paired with a large striker, who can hold the ball up well. Initially Rush/Fowler, then Heskey, he can play off of defenders that draw centre backs in, and that is one of RSCs biggest strengths.
His current reputation is unfair. IF he feels like he has a point to prove and is heavily determined, he could be such a huge asset to us. *puts tin hat on* I'd have him in front of Aguero any day of the week. Aguero is an Argentinian striker, playing in Spain who has no Premiership experience. How many of them guys have come to the Prem and failed, despite their heavy reputation, Veron anyone?
Most of the people here who rate Aguero are relying on his Football Manager or FIFA reputation.
Owen is proven in the Prem, never upsets people, and can score goals for fun. He would suit the style of the team too.
Lets face it, we have more money than God. Getting a fit Michael Owen would be a huge investment, and one that will most likely pay off. I'll put £50 of Owen scoring over 18+ goals next season if he stays fit.
