Yeah he is 32 and injury prone , but he is available on a free , should we go for him ? I feel he could bag an important goal here and there , we want a back-up to Torres and Sturridge , why not go for Owen ?

Dear god no, the guy can barely move nowadays and when he does he gets injured!

Your first seven words answer your question.

We do want a back-up to Torres and Sturridge, but I'm sure we'd like to have someone who is fit to play when called upon, not someone who will keep our medical staff busy.

No

I'd take a gamble on him on football manager but not in real life

Would I f**k.

My granny would make more games.

I wouldn't take him on, even if he offered to pay the rest of the squads wages.

Is this thread a joke?

Owen??? You're having a f*ckin' laugh, surely?

Don't think he has the passion for the game anymore, nor does he have the physical capability to remain at the top level. Seems more interested in racing horses, dogs and the like...

Owen went to the dogs a long time ago...

Ruined his career when he went to Madrid.

Owen?

The 1 thing that made him decent was pace and that is now gone, he's finished as a footballer.

We are the European champions ffs.

I think he is struggling to get a club because he rates himself higher than everyone else does. If he wants to play then he needs to drop his demands.

If we were this desperate for a striker we wouldn't have let Lukaku go.

Once his pace went that was it.

Owen went to the dogs a long time ago...

I thought the horses were more his thing these days?

Lovely couple. He's the one on the left.

With his missus! He's the one on the left!

Here he is again, the one on the right....

On the topic of horses, it's about time Owen gets sent to the glue factory.

I'm sure Fergie just signed him to troll the scoucers.

No thanks. If he was going to be any use I'm sure Ferguson would have kept him

Good point re Ferguson winding up Scousers
