Michael Owen getting desperate now

[cloud]

From the BBC website

Bit of a "please will someone show an interest in me?" article here.

Reading between the lines .. no Premier league clubs have shown any interest apart from Stoke, and Owen is now getting desperate.

I love this line: "Although he has not retired from England duty, he last played for his country in March 2008 against Chile"

If a Prem team really wanted him they could have wrapped up the deal weeks ago.

Good. I hope the egotistical twat rots now after his comments about the Championship and others that have dropped to that level to play.

Made the change, for you.

I always used to admire his personality - kept himself to himself and was kind and thoughtful wherever he went. If what you say is true, it shows that age doesn't necessarily bring wisdom.

Any team with Heskey and Owen up front could be formidable opposition. The two played so well with England, shame they've lost form since...well, since quite a while let's say.

So he's not on your Christmas wish list then?

"I know I can still bang them in at the top level. I proved that nearly every time I played for Manchester United."

The worst strike rate at Man U out of any club in his career, didn't even score in every 3 games for a top club. Hardly 'nearly' every time he played

The man is a joke,he sits on the sidelines injured year after year and thinks he can walk into any club,very sad man.

I only remember him playing in that game against City when he came on and scored the winner.

I actually thought he'd retired a year ago.

Why doesn't he just retire ? It's obvious, same with Hargreaves, that his body just can't take top class football anymore and no team will take a chance on him

 

[sparkie]

Maybe Tony can get him on a 50K per goal + petrol money contract...?

They could still play but they'd have to be willing to play for playing's sake. Pay per game sort of contract.

Plus an £xk a week tab at Paddy Power ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

The bloke was class in his day and deserves more respect than he's getting here on this thread. It's not his fault he's been injury-plagued because he was playing non-stop from 17 when his body was still growing.

I hate MO more than any player in history. He's such a f***ing wanker

 

[Tux the albion Penguin]

To think 10 years ago he was one of the best In the world. Saying that I WOULD have him In the stripes. Championship would knock reality into him. Hardest league In the world lol
