Owen

[Doc Sark]

Subject to a medical he is there.

This is possibly the biggest waste of a talent since Shearer joined Newcastle. Newcastle had better build a good team around Michael Owen, starting with sorting their defence out and changing their manager. If Michael Owen isn't playing at the highest level every year, his immense goalscoring talent will be wasted in the same way that Shearer's has been. Let's face it, Newcastle are incapable of playing at the highest level as their last Champions League outing proved.

Newcastle have a lot to answer for with the signing of Michael Owen, as the money they have paid for him is way over the money he was originally up for sale at. In some ways it's a clever Chelsea-esque move. Newcastle offered such a ridiculous amount, that Madrid were never going to accept any other offers, but Michael Owen has walked in to a large area of quicksand as far as I'm concerned, and I hope to God a side with actual European pedigree comes in and activates the release clause he blatantly has in his contract.

Owen deserves better than to be involved in a relegation scrap, even a mid-table scrap. Well done Souness, well done Newcastle, between manager, chairman and club, they will succeed in ruining the career of another of Englands bright young stars.

As the old saying here in Sheilds is: Sheaperd is a rich and grumpy old man.

He aint the best with sense but he has money so you'l have to be richer than glazer to buy that old gadgy out. Souness just smurfed the team up. Newcastle may not be the best team in the world but they don't deserve idiots like Souness.


(If I could I'd turn him into a fish, Tuna sanwhich anyone? good for the brain.)
