apprantley going to newcastle...can he still do a job for england? i think if he gets a wehole seaosn in and gets back to form, then we'll have a better chance of winning the world cup. He needs to play to be allowed in the world cup first 11 for me.

he's still englands best striker, always delivers when needed for us

he gets alot of unfair stick from all parts, his record speaks for itself at both club and international level

Can he still do a job for England? What sort of question is that. He has been a prolific scorer in an England shirt and the bloke is only 25.

Is it not Michael Owen? Not sure?!

But hoped he would go to Newcastle so could still like him, HATE Man U, Arsenal i dislike and are Boring, Chelsea well dont mind them but he wouldnt play enough, Newcastle are cool cos there entertaining - if there not conceeding 3 scoring 4 there beating the shit into each other :mrgreen:

I find it very hard to believe he would join Newcastle. Is it just me or does the story seem confused, it talks of a season-long loan at the top then goes on to mention record transfer fees. :?:

He it seems owen wants liverpool but is prepared to go on loan....whilst madrid seem to be busy selling him?! ahaha

Owen wants to only go on loan but Newcastle want to buy him. Apparently Newcastle have offered £18 million, I am sure he went to Real for around £8 mill.

Post by: FlashGordon on Wednesday, August 24, 2005, 10:33:57
He was supposedly for sale for £12 million? so why spend more on him than is needed?

i've thought owen rather poor for ages. he's one dimensional. it pains me to say it but rooney and defoe would be better...altho if i'm being honest...i'd love to see emile heskey playing upfront again (once he realises again he can play football)

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Why not pair him with Peter Crouch?!?! - I take it you were joking  :shock:

Owen and Rooney with Defoe on the bench is the future for england


Title: Micheal Owen
Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, August 24, 2005, 12:27:05
nah when heskey is playing well he's good. altho it does tend to get the team to play like we do when rory plays, or when everton has ferguson on.

obviously he has to be spot on top notch fucking king of his game but i think he's a completely different handful for teams to battle against.

 jan koller scores lots for the czech rep. and he's as much of a donkey, if not even more than emile!

but owen is as i say a one dimensional player. he's got nothing else to offer apart from running onto balls that have to be inch perfect. where as defoe has alot more to offer

and crouch is poop. i'd say kevin phillips deserves to play for england ahead of him!


Title: Micheal Owen
Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, August 24, 2005, 12:33:50
Personally I think Heskey needs studs in his shorts, he spends more time on his arse than on his feet. Only my opinion though.

Think Owen has improved a lot at Madrid, give him a chance when he's back and we can see him regularly, plus I think its a good partnership, him and the Roonster

Crouch is 10 times the player Heskey is. Owen can be pure class and there are few better finishers around.

Owen is a class act and it would be great to see him back at Anfield, but a great signing if Newcastle get him.

Well the definately have him!  Great signing for Newcastle.

glad he went to newcastle rather than liverpool. cant really understand why liverpool would want him back anyway with morientes, cisse, garcia, & crouch. dont think he would have got in their team, whereas with newcastle he is pretty much guaranteed to start. can only be a good thing from an england point of view

Two in a week for Villa. Baros is quality IMO.

The life of the unemployed eh?

I must admit I didn't check with my manager whether she'd let me go down to the CG to welcome Jack Smith and Jamie Cureton.  Hindsight eh?

Bouma is a quality signing although you're let down by Mr Bakke.


Title: Micheal Owen
Post by: Leggett on Thursday, September 1, 2005, 05:11:55
yea, no doubt Bouma will tighten the defence, and Baros will DESTROY oposing teams defences with a return to his Euro2004 form, but i cant help feeling we're weakened in midfield by the departure of mr nobby solano. fair enough, milner is a fiarly tasty player, but bakke? i'd rather have darren anderton*!!!  :-))(










* thats bollocks. i'd never, ever have sicknote over any player, ever. Even Reevesy might get a game or 2 more than him atm

If Baros can regain his Euro2004 form then Villa might even challenge for a Wafer Cup spot, i think he was wasted at Liverpool tbh.
