Eddie Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 With the right contract he is definatley worth the risk. When the guy plays he scores goals, its just a matter of how much he would play that would decide if its a success. If we can manage to get him playing say 25 games a season, he would get 10 goals minimum imo. Thats my conclusion to the situation. I would love to see Owen at the Reebok, he still has a lot to offer to any team, never mind Bolton IMO, but the contract is so important and I feel it would have to be made up very much from bonuses for appearences, goals etc, (I think Hierro's was like this). If teams like Hull are considering Owen then we could very much have a chance of getting him if we wanted him, we have far more to offer than them. I would at least be looking into the situation if I was Megson/Gartside.
Guest as Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I'm also interested to know how he's 'wank'..... Since leaving for Spain.... 04/05: 18 Starts, 13 Goals 05/06: 10 Starts, 7 Goals 06/07: 3 Starts, 0 Goals 07/08: 24 Starts, 11 Goals 08/09: 21 Starts, 8 Goals Overall: 76 Starts, 39 Goals. If he's wank we're fooked. 76 games in 5 years - why fucking bother. Decent player, doesn't seem like the usual footballing cockhead, but is a perma-crock and not worth the money/risk.
Zico Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 he has no pace or height you'd have to put the ball in front of him at his feet I don't see how owen would excel in our team
Piemon Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Swap deal with Elmander. would you? straight yes or no answer............... yes in a flash for me
MOOSE36 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 This site used to allow you your own opinion. Mine is he aint worth 10k per week for the fact he would play about 7 games and may bag 4 goals. sorry if it dont please sum of you but thats the way the cookie crumbles. Heard a tale some years back from a reliable source from a guy who worked on his home in Chester or is it Flint. Not the mr nice guy you all seem to love and respect, ill leave it there...........
Windsor White Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Having been on several social functions with Mr Owen, i've always thought he was a really nice lad.
MOOSE36 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Having been on several social functions with Mr Owen, i've always thought he was a really nice lad. Thats a fair point but mine is i dont think it would be good for bwfc and for the money we would have to pay i think it would be bad business Never met the guy so am only passing on info i have been given. Still think and beleive his horses is where his empire is driven now, not football

Yeh but we'd all get annoyed if some cowboy had just come through the upstairs ceiling whilst trying to fix the roof!
Zozzy Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 If Hull sign Owen I will be down the bookies backing them for relegation. He will be too big a chunk from their limited finances and too big a gamble on the injury front. As an 18 year old he was worth millions, he was mature for his age and was, and will always be a natural goal scorer, but his biggest asset was his elecrifying speed and acceleration. This set him apart. After his injuries he lost this. He will be overpriced now because of his past reputation. The money can be best spent elsewhere for me.

He is leaving Newcastle on a free, unless you mean wages of course, but even then I recon he will not get any offers anywhere near what he is on now.
Zico Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 the interview on SSN they chuck in a question along the lines of "what do you think about moving to hull" he goes on "oh, i didn't know about that, it must've emerged this morning, erm, yeah, new one to me that, erm (scratches head)" reading between the lines i don't think he fancies it

Why would he want to get relegated 2 seasons in a row.
frosty1982 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 according to wiki: 07/08 - 31 games 13 goals 08/09 - 31 games 10 goals at the right money, i'll have no probs with owen in a white shirt. only 29 and still a top, top quality footballer. if he could bag us 10 or 12 goals i'd take him at ?40/45k a week. definatley worth a go!
Guest as Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Swap deal with Elmander. would you? straight yes or no answer............... yes in a flash for me Nope. Elmander has a pretty poor first season, but he'll get used to the PL.
Ani Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 it looks like the type of signing that sam would have pulled of jayjay and youri had been pretty much written off when we signed them. however it is a no for me, because as well as the injuries he seems to have lost his passion for the game, when newcastle needed a goal last season he was subbed and never looked bothered. the fact they would sub him is a bad sign the fact he did care was worse.
Zico Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 ho ho ho http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...nd-striker.html
HomerJay Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 ho ho ho http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...nd-striker.html certainly a different approach. (in the footballing industry)
tyldesley_white Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 certainly a different approach. (in the footballing industry) Just a thought, what is agent/management compeny just done not against any rules, because hes still under contarct to Newcastle until at least the end of the month ?
tyldesley_white Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Sorry, just makes me want to puke, its just wrong on so many levels
Rembrandt Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Just a thought, what is agent/management compeny just done not against any rules, because hes still under contarct to Newcastle until at least the end of the month ? As far as I'm aware, a player can start talking to other clubs about 6 months from end of contract, though he can't sign a new contract. If that's true, I can't see why he can't be advertised.
