Owen out for 5 months

[sweetleftpeg 0]

Realisitcally, Roeder and the board should now be preparing for next season as if he wasn't here. He's going to be out for most of it if not all of it and his wages are allegedly going to be covered. So, prepare and buy as if he wasn't here basically.

But without the money we would have received from a transfer. A small snag, I would imagine.

If we don't buy 4 world class strikers after this news, then Frederick is taking the piss, big style...

What I meant was, we have to prepare for the season with the mindset that he won't play at all.

No, I completely agree. I'm just genuinely concerned where we are going to get money for transfers, especially since everyone will be trying to rip us off knowing our desperation, much like last year.

Oh aye, it means we'll get in more strikers that we originally intended but of a lesser quality due to the money situation. I fully expect someone like a Fat Eddie Murphy to be here next season, whether we like it or not.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

Liverpool get his best years, we've got his sloth-like last payday years, a la Ian Rush.

Owen: I have let Toon down

 

England ace Michael Owen feels he has let Newcastle down after suffering a knee injury which will keep him out of action until 2007.

 

The 26-year-old ruptured his anterior crucial ligament just over a minute into England's final World Cup group game against Sweden, and when he realised the severity of the injury his first reaction was one of guilt.

 

"I can control my emotions and I can honestly say that when I was flat on my back with ice-packs around my knee, it wasn't self-pity I was feeling but guilt," he said.

 

"I was sending text messages apologising to all sorts of people for letting them down.

 

"I feel really guilty when I think of the people at Newcastle United. I think of the chairman Freddy Shepherd, who has invested all that money (£17million) and Glenn Roeder, the manager, who has kept in touch through the tournament and been very supportive. And those great fans who have only seen me for 11 matches."

 

Shepherd has already described the compensation being paid by the Football Association to cover the loss of their star striker as "far too low".

 

For Owen's part, he hopes to return to Germany on July 9 to collect a World Cup winner's medal.

 

He wrote in his Times column: "As I left the team hotel in Germany yesterday to fly home, I told Sven-Goran Eriksson that I would be back out for the World Cup final.

 

"My tournament might be over, but I still want that medal around my neck.

 

"It is strange to think that my farewell yesterday was the last I might see of Sven, a manager who has picked me whenever I have been available and for whom I have scored a lot of goals.

 

"But I haven't given up hope of seeing him again on July 9."
