That is exactly my point Ricardo. Owen seems to be the type of player to kick-off and ultimately disrupt things if he isn't played enough. Hence the gamble of signing him in the first place. Look to the future, remember the past!
Which he has, er, never ever done. You can accuse Michael Owen of a lot but he is nothing but not professional in his actions, on and off the field.
Do you reckon he will be kicking off at United if Berbatov is selected ahead of him? I doubt it.
