If we're gonna pick up anyone Dutch from Madrid it's gotta be Sneijder. We're a bit poor with dead ball specialists at the minute, and Tosic isn't a first team player yet. He can offer more dimensions to the team than both Van Der Vaart and Huntelaar. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-42012 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:42:59 +0000 AhmedShah 42012@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>They will be together for 10 months now before the world cup. They will get chances and learn to play together up front. Anyway, I couldnt care less for England. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-42006 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:51:03 +0000 bobotonto 42006@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Ahmed, Rooney and Owen NEVER played well together for England, but their relationship has been frought with problems because of Owen's gambling connections and his 'debt collector' friends from Liverpool. I would think that would have been Ferguson's other major concern when signing him apart from injuries. As with Messi, the major concern is whether he ruined the muscle tissue around his knees and hams when he was bulking up with HGH and steroids at seventeen. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-42000 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:31:55 +0000 champ10nsofeurop3 42000@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>im delighted wit him coming 2 us...once he is injury free he will get back 2 his best..dats de prob do..im lukn 4ward 2 seein him play..!! </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41999 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:30:50 +0000 Bobmagee123 41999@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Sneidjer please <img src='http://soccerlens.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41994 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:19:37 +0000 azz0020 41994@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>or Van Nistelrooy bt i like Owen i'm happy with the signing =) </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41992 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:43:19 +0000 Hamburg 41992@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Ahmed, Owen and Rooney have never played well together, tell me a match where they did play well before.</p> <p>wonder who else might be coming. if Liversea is spot on, could we get Sneijder or van der Vaart? </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41988 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:58:22 +0000 AhmedShah 41988@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>England might turn out to be the biggest winners out of this deal at the World Cup.

Did you guy's read the brochure they put about for Owen? It does explain a lot of his injury problems, and none of them are recurring which is a good sign.</p> <p>Newcastle's backroom staff was forever changing so nobody there could file a decent report and keep him in check, United do things very differently. Solksjaer wasn't injury free but he was a quality squad player, and Owen won't complain about being on the bench like Tevez. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41913 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:17:26 +0000 Liversea 41913@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Oh well that's something, isn't it? </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41909 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:11:15 +0000 Ahmed Bilal 41909@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>It's confirmed, Owen has signed a two year contract. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41906 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:59:01 +0000 Bobmagee123 41906@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>good reasons all round Dan </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41893 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:02:05 +0000 DanUtd 41893@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Whether he makes it or not at United, Fergie has just seen a minimal-risk deal that could really pay off.</p> <p>He will sign on a free, take a very basic salary with a pay-as-you-play cause, which, if he plays well, could take him back up close to the money he was earning at Newcastle, just incase he needed futher motivation</p> <p>So, even if he is a flop, United kick Liverpool where it hurts before ending one of their favourite son's careers, which is priceless, in my opinion. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41891 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:40:28 +0000 Ghostwriter 41891@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>haha, don't worry bobo its not united i'm worried about...

I don't really see the need because his legs have gone, but he can still be a fine late sub tap-in artiste, in and around the offside line just like Crespo and Pippo! </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41888 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:23:56 +0000 Ghostwriter 41888@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>But...

Said all the stuff and convinced me that Owen CAN be a masterstroke ! ManUtd will ease him back from any niggling injuries he gets, he'll have all the time in the world and even if he does 'flop', he cant be called a flop at all because there was no transfer fee and he is certainly taking a reasonable amount of pay-cut. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41879 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:45:29 +0000 Ghostwriter 41879@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I've been over this a million times and it still doesn't make scene to me <img src='http://soccerlens.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':?' class='wp-smiley' /> <img src='http://soccerlens.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif' alt=':!:' class='wp-smiley' /> <img src='http://soccerlens.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_question.gif' alt=':question:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>would it be better to spend 5 or 6 mil and get a young promising kid from Argentina or something </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/united-after-owen#post-41869 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:20:30 +0000 Liversea 41869@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I think it's a good move for Owen, and Utd.
