Ah, I see LB. Unnamed ones not listed on owner database. In that case, that adds a little to a potential link up that was mentioned by the source of the information. Like I say, it is 3rd party news but from an informed source. I do not have news that it WILL happen though, unlike the thread instigator.

Well he could if he stood on a box, but he'd probably do his achilles getting off it.

On the day the original Grand sighting took place May 6th (I believe though this differs from sources outside NSC) there was no racing at Brighton. This appears to be the pretence for Owen's alleged visit. A mate of mine at L&G phoned me excitedly and gave the date of the meeting as Thursday 5th May.
Now the price has come in from 7/2 to 5/6 in the last 3 weeks. So somone is lumping on as Sky wouldn't want such a ridiclous notion at such prohibitive odds otherwise. Now who in relation to this thread are completely massive punters who could have manipulated a market like this? Hmmmm!

Alternatively ... the whole Bloom / Owen thing might have nothing whatsoever to do with football. Racehorse owner speaks with stables owner? What's to get excited about?

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Methinks some jiggery-pokery might be afoot...

Here's what ManU's Fabio Da Silva had to say in an interview with Brazilian newspaper Globo about Michael Owen, as quoted in yesterday's Daily Mirror:
'OWEN: Really likes horses. He spends all day betting and talking about races'
We let Owen anywhere near the Albion at our peril. IMHO, like. Said it before, say it again, let some other mug chairman finance that sick-note's gambling habit.

wake me up before you gogo who needs potter when
maybe bloom put a lump of money on owen comming to at us when it was 6/1 knowing it will proberly happen, as there might be a deal done.
tbh owen signing would make us loads of money with shirt sales.
i personally think that we would offer him a pay as you play sort of contract so if he get injured he wont be payed.

so he has an interest outside of football. does this automatically mean he doesnt pull he weight in training?
even when he was suffering from injuries at Newcastle, he was 30+ games in 07-08, 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. i think his injuries are behind him and he's regularly on the bench now, just he's up against Berbatov, Herdandez and Rooney that all offer something more.

How come a Brazilian ManU footballer defines Owen as being primarily obsessed with racing? Suggests Owen is not focussed on football at all. In fact you just KNOW he's not. Any link with the Albion would be based on horses/gambling. And that's not healthy from an Albion point of view.

does he suggest that? what does he say about others? a couple of examples...so does this mean Valencia doesnt take training seriously?
so is UFC a distraction for Fletcher then?
really, Fabio isnt casting judgement of Owens horse interest as positive or negative. it is you that is suggesting Owen is not focused on football.
it is of course utterly academic as he will stay in the Premiership so that he can pursue a possiblity of international football, which he has gone on record this week saying he still wants (despite, apparently, not being interested in football any more).

I thought it was common knowledge that Owen doesn't give much of a shit about football. It's better than nothing, of course, but his passions lie elsewhere. Now, conspiracists might say that because he loves racing so much and our chairman likes it too, that they are therefore completely in love with each other and will both lower one's standards and agree to send the other into a modest bankruptcy in order to be together.
if it happens, i won't eat my shitty pants on the internet, but i'd be mighty surprised and a tiny bit disappointed that a growing club needs to bring in a generally-injured warhorse to up their reputation. I like us being organic and finding players with an uncrackable determination rather than putting together a laborious Brighton Globetrotters XI.

Anybody who has suffered a knee injury like he suffered will not be able to play a full season, although he is still a goalscorer, as he showed last Sunday, I think it would represent a waste of money

Owen would still be able to walk into most premiership sides so if he still has any ambition to play at the highest level he won't be dropping a division. Mugs!

Obviously no more than silly rumor but just to throw it out there a signing like this would raise the profile of the club and help us to gain/ retain new fans as we grow the club in this new Amex era

Nice racing colours Mr Bloom. The horses pedigrees look good especially the colt by Footstepsinthesand.
Reckon it's a done deal me. £7,500 a week plus appearance and goal money provided by separate sponsorship.
Barnes and Owen. My o my that could be a 50 goal a season partnership.
