KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Michael Owen to Man Utd

I've been away for a few days and read that Owen had signed for the mancs in Marca newspaper - I still can't believe he's done this! I have just read Dunk's "Judas piece" and have to say I couldn't agree more! Whatever respect I had for Owen is now lost forever - Wouldn't like to be in his boots if he plays against us next season! Should have stuck to playing with his race horses!!!

I agree with Emperor on this (I know!! I'm shocked too), people are acting like right drama queens

Thank god the internet wasn't about the day Busby took over as Man U manager, hate to think what people would have been saying about him!!

He made it clear from the start of his career he is a highly ambitious player, so why does it shock anyone he chose to play for the champions of England instead of for that crooning orange tit at Hull?

Way I see it, it's kind of like if you were banging Pamela Anderson in her prime but she ended up leaving you for a richer man, he knocks her around a bit and mistreats her, now it's 6 years later and she's got 3 kids, is looking a pale imitation of her former glorious self and has shacked up with the [oops] loudmouth who lives down the street from you.

Actually, that sounded far better in my head than written down!!

jeez, like Growler said, the edit time on here is a disgrace.

Just so everyone knows, I edited my post so it read much better, I included several well constructed and hilariously worded points which would have simply taken your breath away in awe of the sheer magnitude of it all.

I also added in some nude pictures of Megan Fox i have recently gotten hold of, but guess you'll never see them now

know what you're saying cinco but do you really think Gerrard, Carra or Fowler would join the mancs in Owen's situation?

That's comparing Apples and Oranges though as we're not talking about any of those players.

even so, 'IF' Gerrard would have left Liverpool 6 or 7 years ago, I don't think it would be beyond the realms of possibility he would go to play for them now if no other big team was in for him and he only had them, Hull and Stoke to choose between, that's a massive IF though.

Owen and Fowler/Carragher are massively different personalities, the former has always been about his own ambition/England career, the latter 2 more about the City of Liverpool and the fans of LFC, I think Gerrard falls somewhere between the two.

true maybe Owen was never in the same mold but even so...

I hated the way he left us but still followed his progress at Madrid and wished him well but this is too much for me to take in Cinco.

Probably my fault for thinking Owen was something he obviously isn't... and I have to say that I don't wish him well at manure whatsoever; why would any Red? Do any of us really want Owen to have a cracking season for the mancs, help them beat us to nº19? Nah sod him and sod his ambitions.

Obviously no red wants him to have a good season, I hope he fails miserably and the manc fans are on his back from day one.

doesn't change what he did at Liverpool though.

no it won't change what he did at Liverpool but will he be remembered for that or will he be remembered for running his contract down to its last breath and signing for the mancs?

Suppose it depends on the individual remembering him.

Same with Souness I suppose, do you remember him as possibly the greatest midfielder the football club ever saw or as the man who tore down the bootroom and then sold his story to The Sun? (in my book, a crime far worse than signing for the Mancs)

I don't hate Beardsley for joining Everton and he was a damn site better player then, than Owen is now.

the reason i think owen has gone beyond the pale is because he could have chosen everton (who he is supposed to support) and been first choice striker there (in the unlikely event he was fit) but instead he has taken the choice that pays the most! lets be honest this is about the money not furthering his england career as sitting on the bench week in and week out will not get him in capello's plans will it???

everton, hull etc all wanted him to accept a pay as you play contract while man ure are paying him decent wages whether he is on the treatment table or on the pitch ..... anyone that believes this is not about the money has a lot more faith in the little [oops] than i do!
