Owen is coming!!!

[Rusthall Seagull]

Who knows, some say so. What would Owen want ,£ 40k ?

who says ? utter bullshit

 

[Brimmermusic]

wouldnt it be good if it was announced at ht on sat that he signed think how much that would get the croud going

Surely the fact we are playing Newcastle will be enough to get the crowd going? I'll be going mad for 90mins that's for sure.

 

[fork me]

Surely just rumour, there hasn't been anything concrete ie. Owen in Brighton for medical or talks

I dunno, "Owen out - loan to Brighton" on the official Man U site (even in the gossip section) is a little more than the normal rumour.

CMS is on 17k, I heard from a first team player who will remain unnamed. Apparently a few resent CMS as he is on 4-5 times that of many first team players.

Murray was offered £ 8k and wanted £ 12k and settled for £ 10k at Palace. I don't resent CMS's £ 17k a week as he always puts in a 100% shift.

I am not sure. What do you think he would demand ?

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

I've seen some rubbish on here but this is my favourite! 20k a week! No chance!

yeah but, yeah but.... what would Owen want.... 40k... bloody hell

 

[Brimmermusic]

I ment a few players resent CMS for being on such a high wage compared to them.

Guess it wouldn't be in The Sun if there nothing in it, but Id be very depressed to be going for a player who is currently injured until mid Feb and then would probably manage less appearances than Vicente to date!

I absolutely LOVE being a Brighton fan.

We are mid-Championship, which is the best we have been in FAAAR longer than I care to remember, and yet will can still muster up teh ability to be "very depressed" at the idea of us signing MICHAEL OWEN!!!

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

I am not sure. What do you think he would demand ?

i have no idea, the same as you have no idea what Vicente earns.

Think with owen its more about playing than how much wages he can get, the blokes loaded by all accounts...

Probably because he doesn't exist. The salary ceiling of £10k per week has not been breached for regular contracts.

Same same.

I for one will be doing the pokey-bum-wank if we signed him.

 

[burrish-gull]

Daily Mail have it reported as well

Michael Owen wanted by Brighton | Mail Online

 

[kano]

who would owen play instead of, CMS? up front on his own? out on the wing instead of buckley/noone/kaz?

Dont think he could do either job to be honest.

Rumours have really been taking too far this time.

 

[Gritt23]

Talksport have just sid that they understand "there is more chance of the moose playing for West Ham than Owen playing for Brighton".

Thread closed.

While I very much doubt ANYTHING will come of this rumour, I certainly wouldn't take the opinion of TalkSHITE as the final word on the subject.

In truth is this prospect any more unlikely than I would have said of Vicente? The only difference would appear to be his level of fame in THIS country. Vicente has been a big name, one of the very biggest, but due to on-going injury problems, the top clubs have gone cold on signing him, but he still wants to play football, so has come here. We don't see much of him, but whenever we do, he's an absolute joy to watch.

Michael Owen could very well be a similar story. I very much doubt it, but, as I say, I felt this way about teh Vicente rumour and I was bang wrong with that one.

Yep, I just made it all up for attention on a blog......pfffffft

Owen is more interested in his racing and buying, training thoroughbreds

This is what he employs Tom Dascombe for...

Bloom is the key here with his racing connections .Just how well do they know each other?

Bloom has at least one horse in training with him:

United would be paying most of his wages if he came. The question is where he would fit into the team - certainly not as the player of presence to take the pressure off CMS. Maybe he could take Vicente's place in the treatment room though ....

This is actually brilliant, I thought this rumour would never come back! Last summer it was hilarious and now again here A genius ploy by the bookies to make themselves more money from mug punters like they did in the summer!!
