StaffsRam Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Everyone's assuming that we're looking to bring him onto the playing staff - we're not. I've got it on good authority that we're actually looking for him to provide some part-time coaching to our strikers. Surely everyone remembers the brilliant "Michael Owen's Soccer Skills' on CBBC a few years ago? Such pearls of wisdom as "Well, when I'm shooting at goal, I always try to place the ball in the part of the goal where the goalkeeper isn't......" - Well thanks for that Michael, up until that golden nugget I'd always thought we were playing rugby and tried for the 3 points where ever possible. Having said this, perhaps some of our strikers could benefit from Michael's advice afterall......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 *cough* Robinson Actually I'm helping out with Robinson. Seeing as it's basic ball control that's in question there, I'm sending my 3 year old down to Moor Farm to help him out and give him a few tips.....

trekkie_ram Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Michael Owen scored a good goal today, definitely worth another look Nigel........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Can't have a player who can't even manage 45mins every few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghRam Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Can't have a player who can't even manage 45mins every few weeks. He can manage it, he just isn't being played. Class act when fully fit (and only 31), if he stayed fit he'd be a brilliant signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think you would sign him on extortionate wages, he'd play a couple of games, bag a few, then would be out for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyside Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 added a few quid to his value with that quality finish today, some of the promoted teams in the Prem might take the risk rather than the like of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 has he played enough games to get a medal? i hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Michael Owen scored a good goal today, definitely worth another look Nigel........ ^ I'm worried my sarcasm infusor malfunctioned. If he doesn't retire with his cheap medal, I fully expect a decent premiership club take a punt on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 has he played enough games to get a medal? i hope so. He has, Fergie made sure, but in terms of combined minutes, he's played about three 90 minute games this season. I like the guy, I held out romantic hope that he would make our World Cup squad, but it's a poor way to win a league medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshfieldRam Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Is it just me that thinks an Owen Reunification with Anfield is on the cards? i just get that feeling. It happened with Robbie Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Why the hell would he come to us? Don't get me wrong, I would be chuffed to bits but he will either retire or go to a semi decent prem club- I doubt he'll suddenly think " I know, I'll drop down a division and play my last few seasons at a club where I will be abused for earning more money than the rest of the squad and have no chance of winning anything". He's more likely to think " Yes please Aston Villa, I will join you for 25 grand a week, cheers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see him at my local garden centre buying a patio set, i'll let you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
