Has the teaboy left OT then? Dont see Owen fitting in anywhere else, 80 million for ronaldo and fergie is hunting around the bargain basement! Dont get it, unless the yanks are back tracking and want to keep the money after all.

Now a done deal. Owen has signed a two year contract.

You either hate him or like him but Fergie is very rarely wrong.

let's not get get carried away.. Owen comes on a free and there's no way he will be United's main striker next season, he could be played if and when required....but even with the millions Fergie can spend it seems like the best goal scorers/strikers in Europe want to play for Madrid and Barca, and who are the best English strikers Fergie could go for..Crouch, De Foe, Heskey?..made me wonder if England have any chance of winning the World Cup!

Could be a very astute signing. Michael is still the right side of thirty and his stats (from when fit) are still impressive. United is the best place in the world for a player like Owen to get back to glory, as there would be too much competition at City.

Re: Man Utd to sign Owen?
 
People who say Owen is past it may well be eating their words at the end of the coming season. Fergie has a way with older "past it" players. He got the best out of Sheringham after signing him late in his career. You only have to look at their current squad and a certain Van dar sar.

His best days are long gone, numerous injuries to his hamstrings have depleted him of the pace that used to terrorize defences around Europe but he's a natural poacher and will always know the route to goal.

He'll be playing in a far better side with United and if he scores goals there then an England call up won't be out of the question, and let's face it, a relatively fit Michael Owen is probably still a better option than the likes of Defoe, Carlton Cole and Gabriel Agbonlahor when it comes to naming the world cup squad.

A fit Michael Owen is the optimum, and I think even he will tell you he has lost that extra yard of pace that used to terrorise Prem defences, but if he can keep fit he will score goals for United because they make chances for fun when they're on song. Even so they're going to have a hell of a job to replace Ronaldo, love him or hate him he was good player, with just one fault, he thought it was a foul if anybody took the ball of him and his toys came out the pram

Re: Man Utd to sign Owen?
 
Owen was a damn good goalscorer, no question, but his major asset was his pace, not so with Sheringham, plus eveyone knows a good keeper (Van De Saar) will easy outlast a good striker, so can't see yer comparison.:confused:

my thought on that raver is sam knows the score regarding Newcastles players, so am happy with that judgement.

Nor did he achieve a high rep count by talking ****e.

If Owen can stay fit, this could well be the most astute signing of the season. Owen is only 29 and nowhere near the end of his career. If anyone can get him back on track, it's Ferguson.
