It said on the teletex 2 days ago that Man Utd were interested in snapping up Owen for £5 Million now to bolster the squad, do you think this is a possibility and what do you think he will offer the team - if anything - or would he be a flop?

I think it would be good to get him but Fergie would probably loan out Welbeck then to compensate for him not getting first team action,
also i think it would be bad news for Carlitos,
however i think due to our better facilities and staff Owen - with a good run in the team - could offer us something new in the way that he's a small agile goalscorer,
but for reasons mentioned above and his age and injury proneness i dont think he would be worth it for more than 6 months or so.

What are your views?

Edit (reddwarf) - Please call us Manchester United, Man United, Man Utd, Champions of England, Champions of Europe, the greatest team of all time etc...but not Man U

If he doesn't mind playing 4th fiddle.

I would have thought it was a possibility prior to the emergence of Danny Welbeck. We could do with a goal poacher though. The only way I could see this happening is if Fergie looks for a cheap alternative if Tevez leaves.

I very much doubt it would happen, but if it did he could make a good super-sub for us, and I think he would pick up less injuries in a team where he didnt play every game because his body would be under less pressure.

But I think we would have much better options, including Tevez and Welbeck, than signing Michael Owen.

But as I say I really don't think it will happen and to be honest as a player, who admittedly still has something to offer and was great, but is aging and going downwards, I don't I'd want him here either and I don't think Fergie would to be honest

Don't want him. he has never been good enough to play for United. ;-)

Plus, he played for Liverpool. Would take alot for me NOT to hate him.

My views are dont call us Man U...........and Owen is ****

 

[MsUnited]

Owen? Are you serious? Lol.
No. We haven`t been in such a disastrous state to even consider Owen.

If he doesn't mind playing 3rd fiddle.

Fixed.

Michael Owen - Ex Liverpool..... Not welcome at Old Trafford. Once a scouser always a scouser.

 

[Zenitka]

I would be happy to see him in United. I never hid that he is my favourite player after Rooney.

 

[reddwarf]

He's still a tremendous goal poacher and I'm sure he'd get a lot of goals for us but he's injury prone, ageing, out of the England squad and, most importantly, a former Liverpool player.

Plus, £5m is way too much for him, especially since his contract runs out at the end of the season.

owen??? 5 million????? not worth it for the 6 months of injury worrying, goal every three games, lack of pace to get past defenders. id rather buy darren bent for tht much and hes never bin worth more than 6 mil

 

[hdcantona]

Oh well, I can't see it happening tbh, it's just a rumour.

PS Sorry about the Man utd thing, i didn't know.
