You think that if Owen came he would score 3 goals? Errrr no. I still think he has a point to prove and I am not sure of the reasons why he turned doen the loan moves. I cannot agree that Holt is a better player than Owen, sorry. Different yes. Better, no.
A fully fit Owen (with no pace now) over the course of a season is likely to score 10-15 goals, but he is almost certain to get injured. So 3 goals is likely in my book.
Don't forget that Owen is a really good poacher to. It's not all about pace with him, we could do with a finisher as we have struggled for composure in front of goal this season. Who's to say that he will be injured the whole season? It's impossible to predict. I am not saying Owen is the answer but we could do with a finisher like him, what do you guys think of Yakubu? He comes accross lazy but he can bang them in.
I agree we could do with another good finisher, Owen is one of the best English poachers of all time. But current day Owen has expensive mistake written all over him. He is more than likely to get injured, I would rather spend the same money on 2 or 3 players wages rather than 1 player that is odds on to miss a large portion of the season. It's all irrelevent anyway, Lambert would never sign him, he doesn't fit the mould.
Excuse me fellas but I think Michael Owen deserves a lot more respect than some of you are showing him on this thread. Since there's no question of him joining City, maybe we can just acknowledge a talented player whose very promising career was pretty much ruined by unfortunate and ill-timed injury. Also a good guy, as far removed from the Bartons of our football world as you could hope to get. I really don't understand why anyone would want to slag him off.
if anyone can find me any evidence that the guy wants to play football then by all means, bring it to the table.
