I've got a bad feeling we're going to end up with Michael Owen

Erm...Raul and £#%&!ing Ronaldo were in front of him. £#%&!ing hell

I've already said his injury record is shit, so i'm not even bothering addressing your points regarding that.

We'll see how he does. I'll have anyone a vbet he'll score more than Tevez's 5 league goals. Possibly, even double it.

£#%&! me, the doomlordery on here is reaching new levels. I'm not happy with this summer so far but he could do a lot worse. I'm thinking what he offers us as a footballer, not as a person - we got over signing a genuine Scouser & a Leeds fan pretty quickly, remember.

I'm glad these things are left up to Fergie, if it was up to fans we'd still have the headless chicken up front.

He tried to make him stay a further two months.

Not like Fergie asked him to be captain and be an ambassador for the club.

The funny thing is, Michael Owen will have a Premier League winners medal before his @#%&! mates, Gerrard and Carragher. Who would've thought that a month ago?

I'm not trying to make him into a Bobby Charlton here just that even someone like Larsson ended up having his use. And Owen today is a lot better than Larsson back then.

Oh I agree.

I am all for Owen signing for us, anyway.

From what im hearing, Utd first approached Owen in January.

Wouldnt suprise me if deal was already sorted and one of the reassons they didnt follow up on Tevez.

Yep, that would certainly explain the brochure

Gignac's going to be heartbroken

do you honestly think our squad now is good enough to win the league?

100 BET?

Interesting how some people are forgetting the effect Larsson had on Saha

To be fair, Balsa man actually got injured before Larsson played. Or maybe that was him just giving up mentally, the weird @#%&!.

I already said the same thing about Raul & Ronaldo ahead of him

They still didn't want to keep him. They sold him on for a profit which was what they wanted. They new he was a goal scorer & £#%&! all else, it's not good enough for a club like Madrid to have someone who can solely score goals. You need more to your game to help the team create, we are the same. We need players who have a first touch & can get their heads up. Owen wasn't good enough to make the England squad, let alone side. Why is he good enough for United?

He was blistering & clinical when he was 18.

He is now simply a @#%&!.

& he probably will score more than Tevez, but if you know anything I've had issues with him as well for the last 18 months. So I'm not entertaining any bets that include those pair of @#%&!s, ta.

That was Sahas problem.

He turned into a mard arse.

Granted though Saha should've started at Emirates and Anfield imo.

Yep, if anything it showed what an absolute shitbag saha was.


Larsson was a good player for us and he has had a great influence on Rooney

I look forward to your whinging all season then.

Like I said, i'll wait and see how he does. The amount of slagging off players get who have just signed or made their first few appearances on here, beggars belief. TBF, I'd expect it off someone like Marlo. I thought you were a bit more level headed.

I'd hardly say that wasn't cutting it tbh.

The goals which you have quoted since, can mainly be attributed to his woeful injury record.

Perhaps you should state that the 7 goals came in 10 starts (11 games in total).

The 0 came in 2 starts (and 1 sub appearance after being missing all season).

I can't be arsed looking for all the other stats, his 8 goals in the league last season came in around 21/22 starts.

His goalscoring record can't be questioned, whatsoever. His injury record and current ability certainly can.

nail/head interface, as sir jeremy of quigleyshire would say.

i agree with koppas
