Owen signs for Newcastle

[B.M.F]

4 year deal. I admit I am a bit surprised as I thought he would have been off to Liverpool.

 

[Jam The Man]

Shows integrity and courage on Owen's part

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Can't fathom for the life of me why he'd want to do that, although I guess it had become clear Real didn't want him. Newcastle seem very much a club in decline at the moment.

 

[bhaexpress]

They must have offered him more cash, simple as.

 

[perth seagull]

Makes you wonder why clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea never bothered, he would've been a valuable asset to them.

 

[B.M.F]

Agree with the Arsenal point. Owen and Henry would have been awesome.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Poor move for owen

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I think thats a very good signing for Newcastle, but Owen won't be playing in European football this season.

 

[Easy 10]

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

 

[Beeercan]

Best Decision he'll make, 1st team football every week, playing alongside a striker who he has worked well with in the past.

At Liverpool he would not get a look in with the new trolley Morientes playing all the time.

He could have gone to almost any club in europe -

 

[Rambo]

Good for England in my opinion. Regular 1st team football should see him sharp for the World Cup next year.

A drop zone baqttle will take more out of him tho!

 

[perth seagull]

But he won't be tested at the highest level, the Champions League.

 

[Marshy]

Bound to be a get out caluse in there.

Im pleased though, good news for England that he will play regular running upto the World Cup.

 

[y2dave]

Got to be good news for the world cup, regular games and should be fresh as they are not in Europe.

 

[Beach Hut]

An appalling career move, Newcastle win nothing but I expect his bank balance will improve.
