Michael Owen Signs...

eye_popping_large.jpg

For Manchester United??

In a shock rivaling that of the knowledge that Pat Butcher is dating Mrs Bucket off 'Keeping Up Appearances', it's been announced this morning that perennial poppadum legs and zero-times Champions League winner, Mickey O is having an 'extensive' medical somewhere in rainy Salford this morning.

So will the former prodigal son, turned overrated Judas* be the answer to the second biggest team in Manchester's problems? Have we dodged a bullet by not getting involved? Will he play more than 20 minutes in the season? Are tomatoes more horrid than mushrooms?

On a serious point though, when fit this kid scores a goal every other game which, for a contemporary striker, is matched only by Shearer and Rooood in the Premier League. For a free transfer, and someone who will be on a pay-as-you-play contract, this actually looks like a shrewd bit of business by Sir Alek. Frustratingly.

What are your thoughts? I'm thinking 'Anyone but them'.

*Yes, I am bitter, what of it?

You can bet your life that if Rafa had taken the gamble it would not have been viewed as a shrewd move, more the desperation of a cash strapped club. Dont believe all the spin the press will put on this, his move to the mancs will benefit noone but Michael Owen .. as usual.

we ought to sign ruud now just to make the situation even more weird

Players come and players go but you still support the team.

Result?


Every week you are cheering laundry.

Think it's a pretty good bit of business for them, why not if he's prepared to go pay as you play - would definitely have had him back as a reserve striker. totally agree with carradona that we should now direct our attentions to van nistelrooy on a similar basis

Let's be honest it's a World Cup year and the little Welsh gobshite's priorities have always been money, England, horses, money, England and finally whichever club he happens to be at.

Who fuckin cares, he a twat anyway, he's going somewhere thats suits him

Posted by: paulfc | July 3, 2009 11:26 AM

Hmmm, actually I think we (LFC) should sign Huntelaar... In the van Nistelroy mould, just a lot younger.

just goes to show he only goe's places for money and the fame of the club, l'pool to madrid, madrid to newcastle (only as a stepping stone thinking a top club would come back in for him), and worst of all manure utd!!!! of all clubs. no loyalty wotsoever. since he left us he's career has gone down hill. the net kop chant to him should be ( theres only 2 michael owens .... theres only two micheal owens.. two michael owens...the judas c**t). what crossed his mind to join the scum? its sacralidge!!! i think he's ill.or desperate.

FERGIE THE GENIUS!!!!!!!!!! Owen for nothing!!!!! I remember not that long ago, people raging that he was left out off the England squad!!!! Can't wait to see him pull on a PROPER RED SHIRT!!!!! OWEN & ROONEY, WITH VILLA AS BACK UP!!!! IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!!!!

Posted by: steve simpson | July 3, 2009 5:03 PM

Even on a freebie he didn't want to come back to the liverscum!!! Joining THE CHAMPIONS!!!!! Roll on the new season, Englands partnership for the World cup will be in top form!!! Owen & Rooney get used to the headlines now!!! I guess thats why your so pissed off with him, It's not judas, It's genius!!!!

Posted by: simmo | July 3, 2009 5:28 PM

LOL, you find me ONE SINGLE MANC who EVER had a good word to say about Michael Owen when he was in his prime playing for Liverpool! You've got more chance of finding a rocking horse having a crap outside Old Trafford!

And now we see them applauding the 'genius' of their manager in signing someone who has spent more time injured than Douglas Bader!

Only difference? Bader was a real hero!

Just like bader he's about to shoot down everything in front of him. How typical of the "Red Baron" to be on the side of a bunch of LOSERS!!!!!!!! Never mind you can concentrate on David Villa now!! just in case you don't know him, he'll be the one lining up next to Owen & Rooney next year!! Cause your skint and just can't compete!!

Posted by: simmo | July 3, 2009 6:07 PM

You deluded fuckwit mancs in villa im asuming you mean aston as david has already told your lot go fuck yourselves like ribbery did like benzema did seems no top names wanna go to ya BTW owen doesnt count has a top name unless its atop of a sick note he will be the new darren anderton.

Why the fuck do you bunch of ingrates really believe that owen will be your saviour tevez left ya ronnie left ya your side is aging unlike micheal jackson you guys will still be playing giggs come august.

I'm one of those that started to slaughter Owen from the first day that he chose to leave the club that MADE Michael Owen who he is(was). Now everyone can finally see what a kind of fuckin twat he is...
Rafa never loved him for what he has done and I agree 100% with Rafa but by this move is not a question of gaining his career back it's a question of being a fuckin traitor to the people which still loved him and wished he was back with us... He's a fuckin Washed Up Wanker who cares only bout himself and the money... Nice broucher to find a job by the way you fuckin scumbag.

I'm a Liverpool fan through and through and absolutely adore Michael Owen - who doesn't?

I like him enough and respect him enough for what he did when he was with Liverpool to wish him the best. He's been so unfortunate to be constantly blighted with injuries that his career has really suffered. If it takes Man U to bring his career back up then that's fine by me. I just fucking wish it was us...

Looks bloody weird in a Man U shirt though. It's so hard to put my mind around it. I mean... why THEM? It'll be nice to see him scoring quality goals in the league again though.

Oh, and there are plenty of Mancs who rated him as quality when he was in Liverpool. I date one of them.

Fucking Man U...

this is not a suprise, never had a thing against the lads skill, but we all knew that his loyalty was highley questionable, but even then of all the clubs he could have joined why the mancs yes there are the obvious benifits a place in the england squad, but i think it was the money because the truth is if owen had joined, hull he would have a first place, all the time he would have proved himself for cappelo and would not have insulted LFC, at mancsville he will be on the bench only brought in as a sub every now and then, and lets face it queen fergie only brough him to mancsville to get the wind up LFC fans and owen knowing this still went along, owen is as much of a whore as ronaldo they go where the money is which im sorry to say is becoming an all to familer trait in footballers nowadays, it will be intresting to see wether he celebrates if he scores against us or will he put on a fake show and not celebrate in some quasi-loyal gesture to apese the LFC fans, so that they dont call him what he is a traitor even then i dont expect him to be forgiven, hes not robbie keane, who perhaps some would say was not given a fair crack of the whip and deserved the standing applause by both sets of suppoters at the reds spurs game, no owen is far from this and deserves to be branded with the mark of a traitor

Given the choice of Stoke/ Hull and a relegation battle or Champions league football what would you choose?? if you say Hull your a f*cking liar!!!! Owen needs top level footy to get back in the England squad, now ask yourself £10m for Bent or Owen for FREE, its a no brainer. Fat Rafa could quite easily have signed him as he was even in your price range "free", but he doesn't hold a spannish passport so he wasn't interested. on top of this Liverscum haven't paid Owen a penny in wages for F*cking years, so why does he still owe you his loyalty and refuse a deal thats best for him and his family!!!! answers please!!!
