I believe he is really interested in coming back, and i believe on a pay as you play it is no risk what so ever. Taking into account this homegrown talent rule now inforce i believe it is something we could well see happen over the coming weeks.
i know he is desperate to come back but he will join the snot and i for one am glad - he is a shadow of the player he was at us and all he will do is get in the way of a youngster getting some games
young players need to play not sit watching some injury prone has-been pulling on the shirt!
owen has lost the pace that made him deadly, can't pass, can't put in the workrate and is just a passenger in the team for most of the match .... not a good deal for anyone - let him go the snot and take their money while sitting in the treatment room week after week!
Whether Owen plays or not, if he is free and we only pay him for the games he plays, where is the negative? If he is not performing then Rafa wont play him. Not playing = not paying. Win, win in anyones laguage.
how is it win?? everyone including owen knows that he takes 5 or 6 games in a row to get his sharpness back and start scoring again - so there are 5 games before he becomes anything other than a passenger as he has nothing to his game apart from goals
lets be honest this guy will never again play 5 games in a row - he is a crock end of
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree Trep. I am just looking at it logically and if it costs us nothing what's the harm. You never know, he might link well with Torres. Lets remember he was being supplied by a less than average midfield.
having Owen back would be good in a romantic sort of way (don't get me wrong here!) and some fans would love to see him back but unless he can really add something to the squad I don't see the point even if it's a pay as you play scenario. I'd much prefer to buy someone in form or see Ngog, Nemeth, Pacheco etc having more of a run.
