Tom 14021 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Owen is signing and won't go anywhere. Martins can go if the price is right. Viduka can still do a job. Ameobi is off and is shite. Carrol is a good prospect. Spiderman can also play as a striker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrol is a good prospect. Spiderman can also play as a striker... Did St Mike accept the pay cut? No and I don't think he will. I don't really believe the pay cut stories anyway. If our wage limit is £30k, then why is an average player like Taylor of £35k? To be honest even though Owen is on obscene money I think it's worth paying for. At his best he's world class and the brand name is worth holding on to. I can't see anywhere better for him to go. None of the top four want him and nobody else aside from Everton and Manchester City can really pose as much of an attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
