Michael Owen....

[chez]

why did this rumour start? someone said he saw him with Bloom in a hotel right?

Yeah but it was an ex player that said that. Question is are we to believe them more than a normal fan.

Owen is on a basic wage of £30,000 a week at Man Utd, with many add ons for appearances, goals, etc.

Sure, I can see him possibly taking a cut and stepping down a level for one last season, but it would have to be one hell of a cut for him to come here.

Why is everybody so obsessed with his wages, who is to say he wouldn't play for a championship club in the twilight of his career for basic championship wages, its not like he needs it.

I don't believe for a moment he will come to us though

All joking aside-how does Mr Bloom expect to be in the Premiership at some not too distant point

I thought he was on a pay as you play contract

Hmm, that article is just someone's blog.

Boing? i'll look that one up

I have a few county supporting mates and this is not an isolated rumour up here.......... though who the hell knows except Owen himself.

My gut instinct is we have far more chance with Kevin Phillips than Michael Owen..... Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Man United, Brighton?? I think its all bollox and just wishfull thinking, but skybet is intriguing at least.

Which ex-player said it?

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

I have got a funny feeling this is a live one.... I guess all will be revealed soon.

FFS, the odds come down as more people place bets, therefore because a bunch of over-optimistic mugs have been lumping on it over the NSC rumours, the bookies are dropping their odds just to make sure they don't get done over.

It means nothing.

Indeed, only takes pennies to change a market like this as well.

Here's a thought, perhaps Tony Bloom is thinking of getting Tom Dascombe to train some of his horses?

 

[Simontheseagull]

I have it on good authority that Michael has his heart set on buying a house in Plumptom, that will be near to the new Albion training ground with state of the art physio and rehab facilities. He has promissed to play at leats three games for us in The Championship next season.

Dont believe that Gus will go after an old over the hill named player BUT in 1965 we signed a centre forward (striker for the young uns) from Spurs who 4 months earlier played for England at Wembley..........Bobby Smith so anything is possible. Granted players with their earnings in the Prem now dont go down the leagues so much now as they used to in those days.

Our odds have shortened further. Now 5/2.

SHIT, we are signing Michael Owen.

They are probably being shortened because of fierce rumours on a fans message board
