Michael Owen

[techmob]

On the flip side he also got paid £10k ( well his dad did) when he was at the academy to get him to sign for Liverpool as Utd and other clubs were sniffing, as the all do.

He was also with England a fair bit too

 

Can’t blame the guy, end of the day he made his decisions and it didn’t work out so good. He wanted to come back before going to Newcastle, they were willing to pay more but he had no other choice as Liverpool wouldn’t meet Madrid’s demands, not the players.

 

Then he went to utd and undid for a lot of fans the good he did.

He’s still a prick though

[Jarg Armani]

He’s totally insignificant.

[Foo]

You wonder at some of the advice he was getting. He wanted to set up brand Owen to match Beckham but Beckham always seemed to make good decisions unlike Owen. He was battered by injuries of course unlike Beckham.

Beckham had a certain charisma, Owen had no thing of the sorts.

This thread is creeping me out

 

Get f***ing rid of it

Owen was a world class player when he was with us, Beckham had nothing of the sort, he just married the Kim kardishian of the time managed to build a successful brand

 

Not sure Owen was ever after that tbh

Charisma, is this the same David beckham that has the spoken English skills of an 8 year old ?

David Beckham had a face and great hair and a good cross.

Decent free kick in fairness.

Yes, like Trent.

It’s probably flashbacks from spending time in Widnes.

 

It’ll pass.

Yeah maybs

f*** off Widnes, train services from Lime St, black cabs and the prospective SIL’ s creepy family

[_00_deathscar]

 It took until Torres came for us to replace him.

 

Only as a 'like for like' though - we won a Champions League and FA Cup in between that (and reached another Champions League final for good measure). And Crouchy was sound.

If he didn't sign for UTD, there would be far more love and respect for him. He was a truly great player for us for a while. The UTD signing seems to have taken those memories away for many.

 

Is he still a club ambassador BTW?

if he didnt let his contract run down to join real madrid for pennies

if he didnt join newcastle for more money instead of rejoining us

if he didnt join united

if he wasnt such a boring dullard with never a good word for us as a commentator

Beckham is much better looking and enjoyed all the schmoozing. Owen just wanted to play golf and bet.

Unacceptable.

Madrid told him that he either had to go to Newcastle or he’d stay on the bench.

 

Melissa Reddy on the Twitter:

 

Newcastle offered £6 million more than #LFC for him despite unequivocally knowing Owen wanted to go to back to Anfield. They also accepted the clause in his contract stating he could rejoin the Reds for a set amount.

That's less than 1 in 2?

 

I'm not being revisionist. He was really good but he wasn't head and shoulders above his team mates doing things no one else could. He'd occasionally go two months without scoring as an example. 

 

He was good but he wasn't carrying Liverpool at any stage.

 

Occasionally ? I found one such period during his final season and he missed a month off that due to injury

 

I thought he carried us at times but Gerrard surpassed him as a player both in ability and influence.

Can’t stand the little c*** now - I haven’t seen the BT interview but apparently he claims he spoke to Rodgers at a time when the latter wasn’t our manager ?

[kop205]

He mentioned Rodgers in the same breath as Torres leaving. Doubt he was trying to link the two things, probably just his inability to express himself with any fluency.

[5InIstanbul]

Look at the list of Ballon d'Or winners in the last 20 years. Of course Owen was mostly brilliant for us.

 

Still a massive bellend though. And a dirty one at that.

[sutty]

Like listening to paint dry

"Well done, he's 13"

Aye. I hated him before he joined those c****. That didn't even surprise me with him

He's great
