adios 717 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you're going to talk about the money spent in those terms them you really have to consider how many minutes that money has spent on the pitch. The impact that Owen has had when playing has been phenominal, even for 17m. And another 10m of that basically hasn't played yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a run with the best 11/12 out to properly judge imo though I accept that the squad should be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) He was fit for Real Madrid for virtually the whole season. 69489[/snapback] He didn't play that much though did he? 69490[/snapback] Something like 25 appearances off the top of my head, so he had slightly less chance of getting injured but his not playing wasn't down to his availability. 69492[/snapback] True. He was always injured for Liverpool though and taking into consideration his history with hamstrings, his injury problems shouldn't be that much of a surprise. I think we all agree on the fact that we're fucked when he doesn't play though. Edited December 19, 2005 by Bombadil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
