Owen is a flop? or the manager doesnt know how to use him?

HafizulKMS SG

I feel sad for him.

When the club not doing very good, he left the club, and joins a super club: Real Madrid. But most of the time when he was with Real, he spent his time on the bench. Even can score quite a few goals, but he is just under utilized.

While he has a bad season with Real, his formal club won the Champions League after so many years. His old friends and colleagues (e.g. Steven Gerard, Carra and etc) are enjoying their success with the club, he can only squeeze his balls in front of the TV at home.

Then he want to leave Real, but the club asking for 17m... when Liverpool sold him, he only worth 6m (Nunez is crap, he worth 0 cent, thats the price Liverpool sold him: Free), how to you expect Liverpool to pay 17m?

Then he joins Newcastle, I don't think he is happy, or willingly join them, as there is no choice for him at that short period of time.

He is still very good, but I think his current manager do not make good use out of him... pity him.

Liverpool fans may hope that Newcastle relegated this season, then Liverpool buy him back with 6m, or maybe 4m? 3m? 2m? 1m?

I pity him, leaving Liverpool is a bad decision, perhaps thats the biggest mistake of his life.

dragg SG

he has scored more than anyone at the club this season.

owen is certainly not a flop. look at the way newcastle is playing. like a chicken without a head.

souness should be sacked to make way for a better coach.

shepherd is to be blamed for everything.

Shigemichi Take SG

Its not the player. Players do as instructed.
How can you expect him to perform when the club itself is underachieving?

I seriously think he's anytime better than Beanpole and cisse.
Perhaps, if he's still playing for Reds, he'll be one of the top scorers in EPL.

SBS9828X SG

beanpole only... cisse if given a chc can also score... like last season =x

Shigemichi Take SG

Nah. I dun really fancy cisse. He's one selfish player.

dragg SG

cisse is hardly owen. his finishing is not very good.

HafizulKMS SG

But Owen is quite fragile. One push you can send him out for few months. Besides this, he is one of the best strikers.

RSP SG

Owen..

good striker in the wrong team.

dragg SG

owen should go back to liverpool.

Shigemichi Take SG

Yeah. And hope that Ah ben wun play owen the way Houllier played him.

HafizulKMS SG

Exactly.

Owen is in the wrong team. A team can't provide enough support for him. Then the other team, Liverpool, which the midfielders create countless chances, but the strikers all sucks, poor finishing.

But 17m you know.... Rafa can buy quite a few quality players with that amount. Now I think for Owen to join Liverpool only materialistic if Newcastle relegated.

See this pitiful guy...I saw also feel heart sick for him...

dragg SG

we shouldnt be too personal.

let bygones be bygones.

owen needs a good team and liverpool needs a good finisher.

with owen and a few more adjustments liverpool can challenge for the premiership next season.

frankly a lot of strikers are overrated. those who are really good are either a bit old or too expensive.

owen is available and liverpool shouldnt let the chance slip.

anhydrouscoppersulphate SG

if he’s happy there then good for him

anhydrouscoppersulphate SG

if we sell cisse and dudek and wif some cash injection surely enuff to buy owen one wat

Shigemichi Take SG

But buying him for 17M is expensive leh..
We only sold him to real for half that price.
can get 2 players for that amount

dragg SG

but look at all the strikers liverpool had for the past years.

liverpool shouldnt like emotions affect club interests.

they really need a 20-goal-a-year striker.

owen is young too, that is the most important thing.

HafizulKMS SG

Rafa made mistake too. 6.3m for Morientes (old + inefficient), and 7m for Croch. Wasted so much money.

Rafa brought lots of quality midfielders, like Sissoko, Alonso, Zenden, Garcia, and etc. But for strikers and defenders, he almost brought all craps. Now Liverpool is flooded with talented midfielders, Steven Gerald, Stephen Warnock, Hamann, and etc.

Oh yeah, Cisse is not cheap too, 14m.

dragg SG

if the liverpool board keeps thinking this way they will not resign owen.

HafizulKMS SG

Oh yeah, I am waiting to see Rafa field Antonio Barragan, a very talented defender (claim to be), but how come he never?

HafizulKMS SG

But the problem is Owen want to leave. He don't want to sign new deal with the club.
