There's no Owen thread on the board...should there be...

[Chewie]

ok, so we're not exactly flush with cash at the moment

 

we're looking for a player who can score goals when Nando is unavailable or needs to be rested

 

we do face the UEFA english rules for Champs league squads...

 

there are close contacts with other homegrown players who are close friends...

 

if the name was not Michael Owen - would we be interested?

 

we know there are injury concerns but then we're not signing him to be our no.1 striker - but no matter where he has played, no matter whether he has had pace or not - the guy has always scored... If Owen had have been anywhere near the air shots of Keane in the first half of last season we may already be champions...

 

anyway, given our resources, that he is on a free etc etc then I reckon he is worth it, thus allowing us to focus on say Silva if we stand a chance and decent right back options...

If Owen had been half as good as you've made him out to be, Newcastle wouldnt have been relegated.

 

 

He'll probably want to be on 50k a week. We're arent that desperate.
