Tomo Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 It's an insane rumour, but was spoken about at Bs3 this evening.... Owen is being considered for a 3 month loan, I seriously think it''s not possible, but............ You never ever know with Copps and Lansdown at the helm ! Thoughts ? (most probably mental!)

Bcfc-Chris Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Wages must be huge, even if we are only paying half or whatever the ratio is. No doubt he is a good striker, but Owen is a finisher. And to finish he needs chances; we don't create many of them I'm afraid. So I can't see how he would improve us really, IMO we need someone in the target man mould:innocent06: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 We all know that Owen is paid on an appearance basis at utd but this article would say he is miles away from what we can offer.... http://therepublikof...ess-for-united/ Bizarre that the article relates to pitiful wages - just sums up how football salaries are now massively insane !!! If accepting 10k to 15k maybe - 30k ????????????????????????????? Michael is 32 in December ! Personally, at championship level, I dont want us to start paying silly money!

Dan Of The Dolman Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 If this one is pulled off, I will be extremely gobsmacked and may even consider a streak through the KFC Drive-Thru. it is that unlikely to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Dont think this would be a good signing anyway. one reason NICKY MAYNARD If we get a forward, its not a out & out goalscorer we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroudy Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Can't say when or how, but this is not the first time I have heard this rumour. It cropped up just before or when we we're in Sweden. Think we had talks but Owen wanted to much cash (think in the form of a signing on fee, if memory serves correct) On the basis of the above can't see it happening unless Owen has changed his mind.

Riaz Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Not a good signing??? Have you had too much Natch Riaz. We ain't going to be playing hoof-ball. But who would you leave on the bench? Owen or Maynard?? They are very similar players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbcfc Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 No chance but loving the thought. No more signings from Colchester, Lincoln and Yeovil... We'll ring up Sir Alex and see if Michael Owen is avaliable, why not see if he'll throw Giggs in while were about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Neither go with both to start and bring Haynes or Clarkson on to terrorise em later on. Wont work in my opinion. We should only bring him in if maynards off (if it was possible of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriars red Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 It would be awsome to get Owen down the gate, Nicky would learn alot from playing & training with someone like Owen, he may come at a price, but we would profit it in the long run!

surreyred Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I am guessing any interest in Owen was before DJ arrived. Given what we must be paying him we could not afford Owen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 If this happens I will streak across the pitch, and buy a round for everyone in BS3, while at the same time looking at Stacey Pentons t1ts.....Honest.. I will.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I am guessing any interest in Owen was before DJ arrived. Given what we must be paying him we could not afford Owen as well. Must admit that I guessed that DJ would be on £20000pw min, but read article in today's Times (I think it was) were the reporter stated fairly certainly that James is on £8000 pw with us. If true then this is staggering! Even if we paid DJ a £1/2m signing on fee, then with wages, he will cost 1m , give or take for his first year. If, for example, we had gone for Grant from Sheff Weds( speculated on here we were after him) he would have cost £1.5m in transfer fee alone and then ,£10000+ per week in wages.

Bcfc-Chris Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Based on what exactly? We have a new manager in place, sorry if you missed it. True but let's start with the midfield; 3 good defensive central midfielders(skusey,marv,cisse), 1 average attacking central midfielder (gav), 1 midfielder who joins up play, neither attacking or defensive(lj), 2 pacy right wingers with little end product (haynes, Ivan), 1 skillful right winger with end product (Jamal), 1 unproven right winger (Albert) To me, that doesn't look the most creative of midfields. But that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard our self imposed wage cap is £8K PW, if the rumours that Orr is getting £13K PW at QPR are anywhere near true, it backs that up.

We've just signed David James, an England international. Surely we can sign a non international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
