Black Cats calling for Owen

Steve Bruce is ready to take Michael Owen from his old club Manchester United – and hand him a stunning move to Sunderland.

 

Bruce hopes to pull off the sensational swoop this week and offer Owen a full-time move and the chance of regular football after being left on the fringes of Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.

Black Cats boss Bruce is said to be “desperately close” to landing the ex-England striker and paying him a relatively cheap £25,000-a-week to come to Wearside.

 

Owen has grown fed up at Old Trafford where he has hardly figured this season and badly misses the action at the age of 31 – and with some games and goals left in him.

 

Fergie threw on Owen as a sub against old club Liverpool in the FA Cup last week, but it is not enough for the far-travelled forward who wants to be playing on a regular basis.

 

Bruce has a dream of chasing Europe at Sunderland and he thinks Owen could fire him closer, giving Darren Bent a possible partner and a top-class replacement if he is injured.

 

Owen is also up for the move despite the fact that he played for bitter rivals Newcastle United – that part of his career does not concern Bruce either.

 

The Sunderland chief has bemoaned the lack of finishers in his side this season despite Sunderland’s strong push for a top-six slot. If he lands Owen then that problem may be solved.

 

Owen has had some injury problems in his time at United, but Sunderland are confident they can treat him right and use him properly to add an extra ingredient to their season.

 

Ferguson will have to release Owen from his contract to let the deal go ahead. However he took him for nothing and may be sympathetic.

 

The Manchester United chief also likes Bruce and is aware that this gesture may help relations between the clubs when it comes to the sale of midfield maestro Jordan Henderson, who made his full England debut at the end of last year, probably in the summer.

 

A source close to Owen is convinced the move to Sunderland will happen, and said last night: “This is not about money – Michael will get a fair contract but he is more interested in playing and scoring.”

 

:lol:

 

The circle of contempt I have for him would be complete.

Don't think Owen gives a shit about playing, he'll happily pick up his wages and being at Manure is good for his profile. He can put it on his CV along with 'young and fresh', and 'good-looking'. The cunt is worse than Hitler's excrement. I hope he gets gang-raped by a pack of wild animals and chokes on a cock.

He'll not be on much at Man U and Sunderland would probably offer him more

Aye I'm fairly sure I heard once he's on a sort of pay as you play deal or at the very most a low wage with significant appearance bonus, either way if that's true he's not getting much out of them.
