Shearergol 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Since it looks unlikely we'll sign him now, expect the next 6 months to see another fresh Souey/Freddy bashing about how this was just a "PR stunt". 8721[/snapback] Any proof that it's not? 8726[/snapback] The fact Real Madrid have confirmed this morning we're the only club to show any concrete interest in him? 8739[/snapback] Not sure what that proves, unless of course we honestly believe that we could attract a player who left one team purely because he wanted to win things.

If he rebuilds his reputation, one of the big clubs will just snatch him off us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Man Utd have say that have not moved for owen. Could just be real trying to up the price to make newcastle think they have to up their offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might just get him by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16475 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Listening to Talksport this morning with Quinny, the more and more they talk about the pro's and cons about the Toon and Man Ure the more it favours us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the right thing to at least try. If he says no then at least we made an attempt. Edited August 9, 2005 by sweetleftpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 If Owen comes here I promise to stop kicking cats for a whole year! I somehow think that my fur-covered astronauts will remain that way for some time! Hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The Horse, Rooney and C.Ronaldo looked really good tonight. They won't want Owen (and Smith has come on for Keane in centre-mid too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 We can get Anelka cheaper perhaps? 9783[/snapback] I would imagine that this whole Owen thing was maybe to try and force their hand in selling Anelka. Now they've apparently come back to us and are willing to discuss it. Seems the Anelka deal is the most likely of our transfers at the moment.

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) If we can get him in before Sunday, I'd be happy with it. Thankfully I finish work at 3 on Friday so should be back home just in time to watch the Press Conference.

Shearergol 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If we can get him in before Sunday, I'd be happy with it. 9787[/snapback] As would I. Anelka is probably a perfect type of player to fit the formation Souness seems to favour. Expect a lot of offsides though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anelka is probably a perfect type of player to fit the formation Souness seems to favour.
