Very skillfull players, has done well for the Irish underage sides and had two very good games against Deportivo last season IIRC. However lacks the sort of height and strength needed for CM and the sort of pace for a wide player, not sure if he would cut it in the PL.
We can't afford to sit about waiting to see if he wants to come or not, we need a decision now so if he says no we can waste our time elsewhere with unrealistic bids.
Mmmm lets rescue a PL manager whos facing the sack four games in, sounds like Freddys sort of idea. Jewell wouldn't join us, at least not until the end of the season though he's a manager I like. Mike Newell wouldn't be a bad choice if we couldn't attract anyone with more experience, but then again we'd probably end up with Dave Bassett.
At least we know where we stand with him, it would've been worse of he had've agreed to join us then demanded a move in May. If he comes I see it as being a mutually beneficial move, we get him for one season and he scores goals for us and he gets to start in the England team for the World Cup, everyone is a winner.
Well it looks like we have the Rooney situation again, the only difference is we're not sure whether Liverpool are going to take him. No matter what fee we've agreed I can't see Owen joining us on a permanent deal this season. However if he wants a world cup warm up and wants to whore our club out for the season then that's ok by me, as long as he brings us 15+ goals.
"Everything's agreed, it's just a case of getting the time this week to just put my name on the dotted line,".
That was on the 6th August, he's obviously been busy learning to spell his name since then.
