Wor Al

So you admit that 8 million pounds was cheap for him? 24472[/snapback] well yeah, Owen would be a good buy for 8 million!

For a 16m player, his all round game isn't great (the reason why I believe Wenger didn't go for him). Liverpool also seem to think that he was too expensive. But like I said before, his goals and merchandise hopefully will compensate for it. Ehhhh?? what you're talking about, then?!! so how much, if he weren't in his final contract year at liverpool, do you think Madrid would have paid for him? Could it be that the only reason Real Madrid went in for him because they knew he would be available on the cheap?

Crouch 7m Owen 16m Essien 26m How much would you pay for him and on what basis? Did we pay too much for Shearer? Could Owen have the same impact? If he scores 80 goals in 4 seasons how much is that worth to us. I think too many are believing the media hype so I'd like to hear the thought process that went into you deciding the value of this footballer to our club. 24406[/snapback] Errr i don't think Owen is worth that much! Like it or lump it, mate! I don't care how much other clubs spend! Madrid signed him for 8m, then one season later....he's worth 16 million! How and why?! He had a pretty good season at Real, but not that good! I'm happy that he's here, and if he starts performing, the price we paid for him will not bother me one bit!

It stops being your money once you spend it. 24399[/snapback] We've been spending money on NUFC for years without getting what we all want, a trophey or two.

Liverpool sold him for 8m cos he was in the last year of his contract. If you look at the money that changes hands for top top strikers, we didn't get a bargain, but we certainly didn't overpay to the extent that's being suggested - most people are comparing what we paid to what Real paid and that's not a realistic comparison. 24390[/snapback] no, Owen is a player that I don't rate at 16m. But I hope his goals and merchandise will compensate for that. 24391[/snapback] Is Essien worth anywhere near £26m? Current market trends. 24397[/snapback] nope, but im not too bothered by that.....it's not our bussines.

backing souness and spending our money is what he's here to do.

who would have predicted that we'd sign owen and prossibly bring back wor Nobby?! Like fergie said...."Football....bloody hell!"

I'm also not that excited for some reason (but happy), maybe because we overpaid for him, and we desperately need to strengthen other areas as well.

it gives me a strange feeling looking at that!

http://skysports.planetfootball.com/list.a...e&channel=spain An attacking trio? I hope souness isn't planning to keep the 433 formation!(or the 4-5-1 whatever you wanna call it.)

do you think villa would sell?

surely you mean Allah 23418[/snapback] This proves that you really aren't bright enough Here's 2 little lessons for you, LM. Lesson 1. Muslims do believe in Jesus Christ. Lesson 2. Not every Arabic person is Muslim, there are many christians and even Jews. Get it? Or is it too complicated for your brain? 23427[/snapback] I know they do yer daft bugger man ... 23440[/snapback] yeah right!

Jesus christ! I'm not going to bother with clowns like you!

I was right, you were wrong. Except in the summer of 2003, when we lost to partizan and, to this day, we still haven’t recovered! mate, what the fuck you're on about? Once again you're saying strange stuff! Who said Bellamy is better than Owen? Come on provide the quote?!!! luckly there aren't many threads on HTT, so it was easy to find! Here's the link if you want it, http://s3.invisionfree.com/Howaythetoon/in...topic=446&st=10 the 3rd post from the end. making silly qoutes am I? Please try to understand my posts before posting! Cheers.

dyer is lightning too.

they can have him.

What absoulte crap! I didn't do anything about them! It was the moderators that didn't like the statement. Anyway, I'm not too bothered about what you and HTL say. You two are not bright enough when it to comes to such subjects. You just listen to any old fat duffer in the pub. I think the same thing about your posts too, to be honest. And the funny thing is....you actually believe that you talk sense! Well, I think the same whenever I read your crap posts, too! BTW, it was you who replyed to me on this thread. for fucks sake just grow up! I will write this in big letters, so hopefully you'll understand- I DO NOT THINK YOU'RE HTL! I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! Not once have I said that you were HTL! So what's your fucking problem?! Paranoid git! Did I say that you were abusing me?!! No! You're stange, mate! Fair enough, but disagreeing with someone is something you turm into personal abuse. Everyone knows your history! yeah...going around moaning about being banned from forums for nearly a year, some kind of misjustice blah blah.... . I assure you that you didn't look pathetic back then. And as for me talking all crap, read this from HTT, me and you were debating Bellamy- LM said: "If you are a better team, and if a player has desire to succeed and trains hard and wants to be a better player, and is demanding, then he is manageable" Omar said: "Once again, I agree there. But we have a manager with a very poor manmanagment skills (no wonder he kept the "yes" man O'Brien!). Bringing Bellamy back will just cause more trouble between them. Let's just hope, in the summer, Souness finds a better player than Bellamy. It's not impossible. " So, do you think Owen is a worse player than Bellamy?! You were there sitting and moaning about Bellamy going, like we will never see someone like him at the toon again! And I was there saying that it's not out of the question that we'll replace him with a better player. Yeah... well said, LM!

Yes, I’m ’sure if you put a donkey there, the donkey will see the game properly, too! No point in trusting someone’s opinion when they’re shit observers. So now you want to talk about Kluivert again?! His work rate may have been poor, but so was Robert’s, Jenas’, Ameobi’s(it always has been!), Babayaro etc. Kluivert is a class player, we used him incorrectly, thanks to the idiot in charge and our crappy fitness staff. I bet many people would love to still have Kluivert now! You made your mind up about Kluivert before he even signed. Whenever I disagreed with you about Kluivert (last season), it’s because you’ve never given him a chance, you were always on his back. And you’re obviously doing the same on Luque. I’ve never ever said that Kluivert will turn out to be a success; I simply gave him a proper chance. Whenever he played, he generally done well. But you were never going to say it….because you didn’t want to admit that you were wrong. Childish. I never said that you did. My point was that you treat foreigners differently than the English players. They’re foreigner…..oh they must be lazy, mercenaries, trouble makers, steal our women… blah blah blah. I saw nothing special in Ameobi from the day he made his first team debut, against Chelsea. Would be a decent pack-up, when playing well, but nothing more. What kind of daft question is that?! We have many crap and average players, like Carr, Babayaro, Elliott etc. I have no problem admitting that!

yeah man.....did you see him sulking on the touch line? Fooking idiot with no heart! Bring back the old wor horse Loooront Rober!

good post. especially the last word. 21071[/snapback] Omar the expert has seen Newcastle play how many times ?? 21116[/snapback] And what's that got to do with anything about Luque? I might not go to as many games as you, but I saw the game yesterday. He didn't lack heart; you're saying this because you're a narrow minded fan that thinks every foreigner doesn’t give 100%. If this were Owen, you wouldn't be saying that, why? Because he's English! If you think Dyer, Jenas or Ameobi give 100% for the cause, then your observation skills are shit, and therefore there’s no point in trusting your opinion, even if you were there. Before boasting about how many games you go to, try to observe the game probably.

On the earlier match, Boro V Charlton, I heard Southgate shouting the F word at his team mates even though he was nowhere near the microphones. We were able to hear it because there weren’t many fans there anyway! Anyway, my point is that not many people in the media mentioned that. Not defending Rooney or anything… he’s the biggest wanker on earth.

you think RVN dived for a penalty? sorry, not this time, we were lucky not to concede a pen. Heinze = Woman.
