    On BBC football focus Michael Owen describes his time at Stoke so far as being very frustrating and claims he has been fit for most of the time.

    Why does TP not play him and play him in his best position especially as we are not scoring enough goals. What was the point of TP buying Owen if he is not prepared to give him a proper run?

    I was not too fussed about us signing him in the first place tbh but, nevertheless, as we do have him then surely Pulis ought to have given him much more game time than he has, if only for the reason I have stated... we don't score enough goals. A boost for the ego of Tony Pulis that little old Stoke can now attract well known names perhaps.

    I think that the main reason for him not playing much is that Pulis is a negative, clueless, useless halfwit

    I don`t see that it`s ridiculous ricc. Owen 10 years ago, yes. Owen today, we CAN do better.

    Well
    Back to the original queston why did we buy Owen?
    Am I alone in thinking exactly that " Why" with Prof Clueliss anything is possible. Absolute WASTE of cash and PULIS~OUT in the summer.

    Well I like him, Remember that hat trick against Germany in 1987.

    Fabulous, look how far we have come, Owen AND Crouch in the same team.

    Who would have thought it ?

    AND which other manager would let Owen further his Broadcasting career when picking up.a fortune from the club at the same time...Pulis - wadda guy.

    Oh and I read that Owen is donating his salary to a Charity,
    The home.for deranged football managers.

    u only have to look at his goal ratio for the minutes he played for Man Utd to see that u never lose it, personally if people think we can do better than Owen we drastically need a reality check. Im all for looking forward but lets not get carried away here.

    If Pulis plays him he will score more goals than any of the strikers we have now, its just the useless bastard wont play him

    UTPssssssssssssss

    Which is why I said it's a waste of money, goal scorers never lose the knack! Clueliss is to blame not Owen. Pulis out in the summer.

    That's right Jowler,
    You can on give rep once or twice a week I think to the same poster. I think? Nicky now has 20 of my 60 earned for thread posting.
    This site is carp at times though. NO OFFENCE to the senior mods by the way.

    I see the press are reporting that Owen will NOT be offered a new contract.
