I'd definitely still take Owen next summer, he is losing it a bit but I still think he's more likely to put away one chance than Bent or Defoe who seem to need 3 or 4 chances to score 1... I still believe Owen is more clinical
If you mean for Town, then yes, for England a big no. |

I think Wes Brown can book 4 weeks in Majorca next June after that performance.I agree Owen must go-the only England player (apart from Rooney)that's proved himself in a major tornament.

owen has missed some right sitters this season.
the fact he's being considered shows how shite the crop of forwards are

Cant agree arribba..Owns pedigree is shown in the stats,class is always going to rise to the top....everyone thaught Beckham was finished...Owen has got a standing in the game that foreign players will be worried about and respect....all i will say is that hes got to change his style as the pace has gone so hes got to be more of a predator in the box.....not a bad performance by England but just like Swindon its a case of playing ok but not winning the big games.

there are always missed sitters. Drogba's done it, Torres has done it, why, because he's English, should Owen's missed sitters be worried about?
You'd have Torres and Drogba no question if they were English, no?

of course i'd take both.drogba has missed a few chances, but i dont remeber torres missing them?
i was originally pointing out owen isn't as clinical as we'd like him to be,based on this season anyway.

as i said earlier owen was statistically the best finisher in the Prem going by chances scored, that says to me he is clinical?

it was last season though, surely he's only going to get better at utd? From half way through the season onward AF always relies more on the squad, owen will get games and will score goals if the service is there, no doubt in my mind.

France 1-0 up at the republic.
Owen will always be better than Defoe.

Both Beckham and owen are trading on former glories. I'd dump them both. I appreciate they've got tournament experience but Beckham has been shit in every tournamant he's palyed in and whilst Own has been better in tournament play it didn't stop Greece being champions of Europe with fuck all experience.
