LexKing Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ok. Thats probably why i did remember it pay by play deal. Well, could still work with Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolne Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Owen? Seriously? We're still talking about him? What could work for Owen? Nothing works for Owen. We don't need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I keep hearing that he's going to Stoke. However, I don't see why he'd choose them over Everton if given the opportunity. More playing time at Stoke, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Tabasco Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Seems to be more and more talk about him signing. Sky Bet now have him 8 to 1 ON joining us. Stoke out to 7/1. I have to say that this would have to be a deal that is truly on OUR terms. Absolutely pointless if he`s put on £50k per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I can actually see there being something in this... I was watching sky sports news earlier and he was saying his list of priorities were size of club location preferably not having to move then things like terms and so on will come into it... Where the biggest club that may take a punt on Him coupled what we would be the closest...can we relocate Goodison sharpish!! From what he was saying I'm sure He'd come here if we went in for him but i bloody hope we don't!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 We're getting there with attackers. Why would Moyes want to pay Owen? A few years ago when he went to United he hhad his chance to come here. The first thing Moyes did when he arrived was get rid of dead wood. Just can't see this happening at this stage in Owens career. If he wants to stay in the North West there are plenty of clubs to choose from.

Bill Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Rather have that Greek Satbesidus or whatever his name is, and give Mirallas a free reign behind Jelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfen Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Just saw this on SSN and I think this would ruin any excitement I had after the Mirallas deal. I can't see any advantage in having him here. He's hardly played in the last couple of years and I truly think he's happy to sit on the bench and collect a wage before he pops home to ride his horses Thats not what the fans want or what Moyes needs on our wage bill. Ok maybe it would be useful to get Vellios out on loan to get some 90 minutes under him and could come back a more fully formed striker, because there is definitely something there, but thats looking on the extreme bright side Edited August 20, 2012 by mrfen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 To be honest I watched Owen on the telly yesterday and listened to what he was saying. Jury is out on this for me. I suspect he could still bang a few in and he could be a usable backup for the strikers we have in case of injury or suspensions. But on the other hand if he was still any good would his contract at United have been finished if he was still good enough? On the plus side he is English, and may be usable. On the downside, he is OLD for a striker and has been injury prone in the past. I just don't know on this. So please stop the subject as it is hurting my head.

Hafnia Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I was never truly convinced by him the way others were, even when he had his pace, sure 1998 he was great but he was raw and unknown. I used to find he would score in fits and spells rather than consistently, I remember he used to take penalties for liverpool and missed a fair few. He is good at finding space in the box, but so is Jelly and so was Yak. I just don't see much to be gained by this. Pay as you play maybe...but find it hard to accept we need this type of transfer, it smacks of desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not sure I understand that last comment. Said it before, would jump at the chance to see Owen in Everton colors, just a player I have a lot of respect for, keeps himself to himself, doesn't feel the need for media attention. Obviously a shadow of his former self, but the name speaks for itself. Yes, injury prone, into his 30s now, but still a signing to get the pulses racing for me.

Avinalaff Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 What about our future Dalziel? Are we to keep paying millions per year to these ex - stars looking for retirement homes, when we could use the money on younger talent? If Owen wants to play football, let him play for a team that needs him more than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Do we not need him? would give us more options, if rumours are true Stoke have offered him more than we have but he is holding out for a move to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Do we not need him? We need a player who would actually be available to play if Jelly needs a rest or the worst happens and he's injured for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 listening to Owen selling himself on twitter and via TV his injuries are caused by lack of Games. its another one of those Mark if injury free yes he would give us options, the one we know based on last few years would not.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Damn it, I thought we may have grabbed him when I first saw this updated.

Hafnia Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Stoke are the footballing equivalent of a "next" clothes sale. You go along, see things that were fashionable months ago, lying on a table all shabby and buy it because it is a fraction of it's former price. You get it home, try it on and it ends up in a charity bag within 3 months. Crouch, Woodgate, Jones, Upson, Pennant, Jerome, Palacios It's a football scrap heap. Reminds me of us under walter smith.
