They've got to get somebody to satisfy the Prawn Butty Brigade, I notice no of the BIG Clubs have been tempted

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.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the Mancie v Bagpuss sparing match should be fun

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!

thats very true, but its a lot of wages fer as n when required, more money than sense i reckon.

sense Cashy?...Rovers sell the only decent striker they have to City...then find out they have to pay Bayern 5 million..not good business

not even half the fun we are gonna have with Rovers and Burnley

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.
