Owen signs for Newcastle

[Silent Bob]

There defence is gash and there midfield aint that good - esp when jj leaves

Emre and Parker are good, Bounsong is a rock despite Saturday.

Anyway people saying this is a bad move for Owen- it was the only choice he had really. He was never going to get played at Real and it seems Liverpool didn't really want him (or Benitez didn't anyway).

 

[London Calling]

From what I know Newcastle were prepared to pay R Madrid the £16m they wanted and Liverpool were not. Plus prepared to pay his £100,000 plus wages, which the vast majority of clubs are not prepared to pay and can not afford to pay!

He seemed reluctant to go to Tyne Side I hope for their sake that he will be professional.

[Kinky Gerbil]

Didnt he say he only wanted to go on loan to start with?

But Cisse won't go if Owen isn't coming.

Boumsong is a rock despite Saturday.

About as mobile as one. It gives me great pleasure to see Newcastle struggling, should keep Owen busy fighting the drop this year.

 

[London Calling]

Rumour has it that one of his opt out clauses is based on the potential lowly position of Newcastle. Nothing like having faith in your tea(m) mates.

I think Mr Owen must have banged his head getting out of the car. What on earth is he THINKING ?

Two and two makes Ryvita I guess.

He could have gone to almost any club in europe -

They were hardly queueing up for his services, where they?!?

hardly queueing up were they?

He'll do far better gong to Newcastle who are in dire need of a goal scorer than Liverpool where Benitiez obvioulsy was not keen on him

Bizarre move... one of the world's best strikers at at club that finished near the relegation zone??

Think it's gonna be a bit of a stop-gap move, I expect he'll move on again next season when one of the bigger teams have more of a need for him.

 

[Silent Bob]

Rumour has it he has a £12m get out clause as of next summer.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

According to BBC Sport Liverpool may still try and hijack the deal

 

[Simster]

Now that Shephard has got his man, it's only a matter of time before he stabs that useless idiot Souness in the back in order to entice Owen to stay.

And then appoints Bryan Robson in his place.

It cant be much longer before he is gone

 

[Pavilionaire]

The bookies have Souness as first Prem manager to get the chop, so Freddie Shepherd lets him spend £26million on Owen and Luque. Interesting.

This is back to the Newcastle of old - great going forward but what sort of defence have they got? Carr, Boumsong, Bramble, Babayaro with Craig Moore as back-up. Very average.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

any incoming manager would want Owen.

 

[Pavilionaire]

What, like Mourinho / Ferguson / Wenger / Jol / Benitez did?

 

[kevinsmith]

Another player we have missed out on then
