Renton 21982 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I see Wullie is sticking with his miserable bastid stance over the signing. Jesus Wept! 22928[/snapback] Really? How surprising. 22931[/snapback] Well, I'm pleased but we do need further strengthening. Owen isnt enough. And someone said that the bloated price is probably down to Newcastle cutting a deal on the Woodgate money. 22946[/snapback] Of course we need further stengthening. However while you try to find negatives, just think if he didn't sign, no striker signed, and then come back to me and say you are not happy that Owen is coming to Newcastle. 22954[/snapback] To be honest even I am struggling to come up with a negative in us signing arguably the best English striker. It's completely allayed my relegation fears, for one thing. I still think we have yet to make the most important transfer though - Souness out! We could sign Ronaldino, Schevenko and Henry and still not win anything with this prat in charge. There, I've managed to make this a negative post after all.

nufc4ever 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Twas me who requested it be a sticky. I just think it's a funny thread to read all the way through. It contains nearly all the emotions supporting this club is about. Disbelief, humour, cynicism, nerves, being 'astounded'(!), disbelief (again), relief, amazement, joy etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What will be the Owen song? I'm guessing it will be the same one as he had at Liverpool? How many goals has he already scored at St James' Park? 22953[/snapback] 14 goals in 10 appearances, I think. Remeber the hand rubbing celebration after his hat-trick? The cheeky little shit.

I mean - Owen rubbed his hands in the centre circle, then kicked off, they proceeded to hammer us with him getting a hatrick. Either way I hope there'll be many more at St James'.

Barney 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 from .com this day 7 years ago...... 1998 Liverpool (h) 1-4 (1-4) Premiership Guivarc'h Owen 3, Berger 36,740 Ruud was in place and introduced to the crowd but had nothing to do with the team selection. Michael Owen rubbed his hands with glee at his first half hat-trick and Stephane Guivarc'h showed us how wisely Kenny had lashed out his millions for the Frenchman - by scuffing a shot in off the post in front of an open goal.... Given; Watson(Dabizas), Serrant (Barton); Charvet, Albert, Pearce; Lee, Hamann(Glass), Shearer, Guivarc’h, Speed Friedel; Heggem, Staunton, Redknapp(McAteer), Carragher, Babb, McManaman(Thompson), Ince, Riedle, Owen, Berger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Two crap teams! It's crazy that this day, 7 years ago he was banging in a hat-trick at St. James' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21982 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Here's another negative. The last time I saw Owen play in the flesh was against Espanol when he was at Real Madrid. To say he was shit (came on as a sub) is somewhat of an understatement. Real were appalling that night at the Olympic stadium, they lost 1-0 but in all seriousness could easily have lost 10-0 (Espanol even missed 3 penalties). Carlos made Babyaro look like a world beater. Now, of course this wasn't Owen's fault, but my point is, is it possible he may not be great in a shit team? This is a nagging concern I have which will hopefully be dispelled against Fulham. And I can just see him breaking a leg too. Wullie is right about all our eggs in one fragile basket. But overall, I think this may be a fantastic signing, and no way am I going to criticise the board for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 We needed two centre forwards, we've gone and bought them, one of them a proven international golascorer, the other a man who can play left wing. The only problem I have is the fact we've wasted four games we could have possibly got results in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Owen combines well with Shearer, because that will be the combination we will use (or Ameobi plus Owen). If we persist with 4-5-1 we're shagged anyway tbh. God, I really hope Owen fits in alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
